Heart Pillow as a Wedding Gift

Hi everyone!  Thanks for visiting me today!  I wanted to share a new heart pillow I made as a gift for some friends who just got married.  :)  The heart is made from 100% wool felt and it's covered with lace (under all the flowers).  This measures about 10 inches tall not including the lace border.  The lace border adds another 5-6 inches in diameter.  All of the flowers are handmade from costume satin.  The white one on the bottom near the point, is a rolled rose.  The rest of them are made from individual petals that I stitched together.  I added lots of pearls and matching blue beads.  I also added some shooting pearls.  I love, love, love making these hearts!  I hope this inspires you to make some yourself!  Hugs!  Rachel

Heart Pillow

Now that my swap partner, Suziecrafter10, has received her heart, I can share the heart that I made for her here!  This was the first heart pillow I've ever made, and I had so much fun making this for her.  I am in Suzie's Facebook group called Suzie's Design Studio 2012.

 What you see is a heavy wool felt as the base of the heart with a very wide 5" lace all the way around.  All of the flowers are handmade.  The fabric ones are made from costume fabric and the paper ones are both watercolor paper and stampin up cardstock. 

The pearls are individual pearls that I strung together and then sewed onto the heart.  There is also strung pearls (that I bought like that) sewed on as well.

Thank you for stopping by!  I will have a video up tomorrow on this heart as well as the heart I received from Suzie!  Hugs!!!
