Valentines Keeper Pocket Tutorial
Valentines Heart Pocket Project Tutorial:
Instructions:
1. Cut out 2 matching heart shapes out of fabric. I used an old vinatge housecoat cut up! Cut out 2 wing designs out of your favorite heavy cardstock in a wing shaped design-see photo. Place onto a peice of woolfelt & sew around edges of white wings. Cut out around with pinking shears so you wool shows a bit behind.

If your fabric is thin you can interface them or just sew in a peice of cardstock inbetween the layers to stiffen it up. Sew around entire heart sewing wings inside. You will have raw edges all around! I love it-too easy! You can use pinking shears if you want!
3. Hand sew on ribbon to hang & buttons, and decorate to your hearts desire. I used glitter,papers,vinage buttons,trims,tule,and vintage ricrac.

What an awesome idea. That is an awesome idea for the 'miss popular' who will get heaps of valentines. I have a few ideas swimming around in my head but nothing substantial. I might go make some pretty tags though.... I have piles and piles of paper that needs to be turned into something creative. Thanks for sharing. xox Nicole.
