Holiday Hearts

I have these pillow shams I made for Christmas time, but I also use them for Valentine's (or any holiday that has red).

I decided I wanted them to be different for various holidays, but didn't want to do anything too drastic, difficult or time consuming.

So I got out some felt and made these cute hearts.

Super Simple.  

Items Needed:

Felt

Scissors

Needle

Embroidery Thread/Floss

Safety Pins

1. Cut out your hearts to whatever size you'd like.

2. Grab your embroidery floss, cut it (mine were about 2-3') and divide it into 2 sections (3 strands per section).

3. Thread your needle

4.Start on the back and bring the thread from back to front:

5. Now take the thread and go front to back, pulling almost all the way through

 6.  Now take the needle and place it through the loop, gently tugging until it's tight, but not pulling on the heart

7.  Now take the thread front to back again, evenly spacing them apart

8.  Repeat until you've done the entire heart

9.  Tie off ends on the back and cut excess thread.

10.  Safety pin them wherever you'd like on your pillows

Simple, easy and temporary.  And now I'm thinking I can really add anything to these shams to simply change them for the holidays throughout the year!

Happy Crafting!
