denise...on a whim: Hearts, Hearts and More Fabric Hearts!

Drop Cloth Hearts with Faux Stitching from Denise on a Whim

For Valentine's Day this year, as with every holiday really,

I started from scratch on my decorations.

I typically end up selling everything I make for myself after i use it for one year,

much to my daughter's dismay!

She wants me to keep everything I make :)

I decided to make some easy, fabric hearts with things I had on-hand and some hot glue.

The one in the basket, above, was cut from dropcloth.

It's 2 hearts with cotton balls used as stuffing and hot glue to sew them together.

{That'st the extent of my sewing if I can get away with it!}

You may remember this little rusty glass jar from my Junky Snowmen post.

Instead of a scarf, it's now decorated in dropcloth hearts and twine.

This was a snowman before Christmas, too.
Now it's got a simple white heart cut from a sweater.

I made this little vintage spool holder some time ago.
For Valentine's Day, I cut 2 hearts, from dropcloth again,
and hot glued some baker's twine on the backs of them.
I used permanent marker to make stitches on the hearts.
One of these, maybe I'll actually pick up a real needle and thread :)

This heart was made from cross stitch fabric.
I used cotton balls in this, too, to make it a little puffy.
It's sitting in front a great old suitcase a friend gave me.
I'll show you what I did with that a little later on.
{hint: it just may be another sign!}
