A card with LOVE.


"The best and and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched. They must be felt with the heart".


Children are very curious about interesting things. One day I saw my son playing with a pop-up card in the store. I've decided to show him this little secret ))










Things I've used:

- a sheet of white paper
- a sheet of red paper
- pencil
- scissors
- glue
- decorations



1. Fold the red paper in half and draw a half of heart .
2. Cut out the heart leaving about half inch like on the picture:


3. Push the heart on the other side:


4. Glue to the white sheet of paper:


5. Decorate the card! Let your child to pick decorations: draw a picture, use stickers, glitter...

6. Love-card is ready!

A gift with Love: Pillow Heart.

Applique is one of favorite things to do with my little boy.This time I'm going to share couple ideas that can be used as a gift or just a great way to spend with your little one.

Pillow heart.


 
This is a no saw pillow. You will need:
- felt
- fabric glue
- scissors
- needles
- stuffing/ cotton
- a sheet of paper
- pencil







1. Fold the sheet of paper in half and draw a half of heart . Also draw desireble decorations, like flowers. Cut out the templates.

2. Using needles, attach templates to the fabric.



I attached 2 red sheets of fabric together. I fold the flowers too to save time.

3. Cut out.
Felt is very easy to cut, I did not stencil but you can. Any little mistakes can be fixed with scissors.

4. Ask your child to help with glue! Apply the glue around the heart but leave the space to fill in with stuffing later.


5. Glue decorations.


6. Waite untill everything gets dry.

7. This was the most interesting part for my son - put the stuffing in!!!!

8. Glue the bottom and let it dry.

9.  The pillow heart is ready!
