I noticed some really pretty Valentine's/heart themed fabrics around and bought a few inches of some.
Then I looked at my heart themed fabrics in my stash at home and realized just how many options I already had!
I decided to cut out two hearts of each pattern fabric and picked out four solid fabrics and cut out enough hearts to sew onto the back of the patterned hearts.
I traced the hearts using a small heart shaped box to get uniform hearts, then cut with pinking shears.
Matched the fabrics, cut out twenty-eight pieces of light pink, thin satin ribbon at four inches long.
Sewed the hearts wrong sides together and sewed the ribbon at the same time.
I then used a darker pink shear ribbon (about an inch wide) and pinned a heart to dangle every four inches, doubling over the satin ribbon. I then sewed down the entire length of the dark shear ribbon.
Ready to hang!
56 hearts total (28 back to back), more than 9 feet of thin pink satin ribbon, around 10 feet of pink shear ribbon, some thread and a good chunk of time.
I love how it turned out.
(and I was amazed at just how many heart themed fabrics I have)
Took pictures of the hearts four at a time so you can see the different patterns and how it looks.
