Heart Mobile

Saw this pin a friend pinned and immediately made it.

What's happened to me? I swear holidays bring it out in me.

It's been over two months since we/I have done any sort of craft.

I made it in about an hour and felt so happy.

The neighbour girl loved it too, maybe I'll make her one.

Wish I had better photography skills (or a camera) I promise its much cuter in real life.


How to make a stuffed heart mobile

Take 15  scraps of fabric
Cut a heart shape out of cardboard {I always use old cereal boxes}
Trace around heart on fabric making 2 hearts from each design
Cut out heart shape and place the two hearts together - RIGHT sides OUT

 

 

 

 

Sew around heart.

Do not sew all the way around!

Stop. Leave a little gap to  put stuffing in.

Push stuffing in and continue sewing.

Sew heart shut.

Done!

 

Place hearts in desired order.

5 hearts in 3 rows

 

Using White embroidery floss {I used crotchet string}

Tie a knot and sew through heart from bottom to top.

Place a knot at the end and top of each heart to prevent them slipping.

Continue adding heart till you have 5 hearts on the string

Repeat 3 times.

 

 

Tie strings to a branch.

Attach string to both ends of branch

I used a mini 3M hook to hang my branch on the wall

Enjoy.

Then perhaps off to the girls room.
