Recycled items

• Felt fabric (white and grey shades)

• Hollow-fibre inserts (to fill the heart shape)

• Wool

Also needed

• Pins

• Sewing machine/needle and thread

• Paper, pencil and scissors

• Fabric glue

• Leave pattern printed from the internet

• Fabric scissors

Method

1. Draw a heart template onto paper and cut it out. Trace two hearts onto the white felt fabric and cut it out with the fabric scissors. Place the two hearts on top of each other and sew together with the sewing machine. Allow an opening for the stuffing. Turn the felt heart inside out and fill with the hollowfibre. Close the opening with a needle and thread.

2. Cut the leaves out from the printed copy and trace onto the grey felt fabric. Cut the leaves out from the felt fabric and glue to the indented side of the newly made felt heart with the fabric glue.

3. I have glued some wool around the heart sides for decorations
