Heart Wreaths

The fabric is a mixture of vintage, new cotton & 'upcycled' curtains

These folksy style heart wreaths are going to be Christmas presents for mine & Ash's Mums. I like the fact that they can be used as a Christmas wreath, but because they are not Christmas themed they can be left up all year round as decoration. 

The basic design is very simple - a padded circular tube as the base and stuffed hearts sewn on to that. The real fun is in sourcing and chosing the fabrics for the hearts, playing mix and match! 

I'm going to make myself one to hang in the sewing room, but I think I'll go for pinks, blues and greens for my hearts, hopefully it will look fresh & in keeping with the shabby chic look of my home.
