Burlap and Chevron Heart

 

 

Materials:

1/3 yd Burlap

Scrap of Chevron or other fabric

Wal-mart bags or fiberfill

Black thread

 Wire hanger

Directions:

Fold scrap of fabric in half and cut out a heart (half since it is folded). Place it on top of a larger square piece of burlap. Stitch around the edge of the heart leaving a 3-4 inch hole, so it is now one piece with the burlap. Fill the chevron with fiberfill or Wal-Mart bags (I used about 8-9 bags) using a butter knife to stuff them up in the top. Sew the hole shut once you're happy with the fluffiness. Next take another square piece of burlap and place underneath. Stitch around the heart about an inch away for a border. Cut the burlap in the shape of the heart and fray the edges with your fingers. Take your wire hanger and bend or cut so the hook is gone. Poke each end through your burlap at the top and bend to each other. Bend or cut access off. Tie a ribbon and hang over a door using a command hook on the back!

Inspired by a friend on FB I decided to make my own! It's a little bigger than a boys' basketball.
