Delightfully Sweet Hearts

Dear friends, 

it's always a pleasure to have you visit The Enchanting Rose

so thank you for stopping by and brightening my day.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner

I have something "heartsy" up my sleeve today. . .

delightfully sweet hearts hanging from a wooden hanger.

I had great fun making this little project 

and I have my mom to thank for the inspiration.

You see, my dear, sweet mom gave me a big ol' bag full of wooden hangers

and at first I thought, "What in the world am I going to do with these?!"

But with a smile on my face I told her "Thank you"

and tucked them away for. . .well, at the time I didn't know what for.

Now I am tickled pink that my sweet mother gave me the hangers

since they have proven to be useful and perfect for unique projects

such as the one that I'm going to show you today.

So yes, thank you mom, for the wonderful hangers {{smiles}}

Supplies Needed:

wooden hanger

fabric

tulle

lace

pearls

buttons

batting

satin seam binding or ribbon

shabby roses or fabric flowers

Cut out three hearts from your chosen fabric.

My hearts were about 5 1/2-inches in size.

With right sides together sew along the edges

and leave a small opening.

 Cut a slit up to the seam in the center of the heart.

DO NOT snip the seam!

Turn hearts right side out

and fill with batting.

Sew the opening closed.

Match the ends of two hearts

and sew together.

Go around with the needle and thread several times.

Knot the thread when you're done.

Repeat with remaining heart.

Cut small strips of tulle, lace, and seam binding or ribbon

and tie around the bottom of the hanger.

Sew on a strip of folded seam binding or ribbon to the end hearts

and tie onto the hanger.

Apply a button to the end of the seam binding

so that it covers the fold.

I added a shabby rose and a heart button to the top of the hanger.

I also tied some satin seam binding onto the metal part of the hanger.

Decorate your hearts as you so desire.

I applied a shabby rose to the center of each heart.

And you can see I put a heart button on the end hearts

where I sewed on the ribbon for hanging the hearts.

I also tied on long strands of seam binding

along with a strand of pearls to the ends of the hanger.

Wouldn't this look sweet in a nursery 

or young girl's room?

I have the hearts hanging in my craft room

and I must say that the soft pastel colors are a welcome sight

during the cold and "blue" month of January :)

Happy creating, sweet friends.

May you have a beautiful and blessed day!

Love and joy to you!

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, 

these three;

but the greatest of these is charity.
