Valentine's Day

INSIDE: How to make cute and easy Valentine fabric heart decorations for home using fabric remnants. Easy sew Valentine’s Day craft.

Use fabric scraps to make easy sew heart home decorations

I have three young kids. Enough said, right?! When I don’t have to put them in car seats, take them out the same car seats 15 minutes later, give my “We’re in a parking lot, stop fooling around” lecture and then yoga breathe as I zip around the store…just to buy craft supplies. Yeah…


So when I teamed up with a group of friends to come up with a crafty creation using supplies we already had at home (read: no trips to the store), you can guess that I jumped at that challenge!

Come see what #CraftyDestash I came up with by riffling through my overflowing fabric box…

How to Make Valentine Heart Decorations Using Fabric Remnants

Assemble the fabric scraps. Remember to double up the fabric so you get both a front and back!

I used cookie cutters to trace three different heart shapes and sizes.

Pin the two fabric pieces together. Sew around the perimeter, leaving the bottom area open. If desired, add a double seam.

Don’t wan to sew? You could easily do this using a hot glue gun.

Insert the poly fil. Insert the barbeque skewer. Sew shut. (Be mindful not to sew over the skewer as it could break your machine.)

Insert the end of the skewer into a variety of vintage wooden sewing spools.

To ensure the fabric hearts stayed upright in the spools, I wrapped the bottoms with a small amount of plastic wrap.

  12. I love this concept, my new years resolution was around using what I have instead of buying more so these ideas are perfect.
    My kids are all big now so I don’t have the same popping to the shops issues as you, can I just reassure you that it doesn’t last forever and one day you will once again be able to ‘pop’ somewhere instead of having to pack and organise for an expedition!

  32. Saw this post linked up at the Creative Crafts Bloggers link party and had to pop over to tell you how cute it was! I have a bunch of cute fabric I can do this with.

  35. These are so cute. They’d be awesome as a mobile too. I’d like a row of them across my windows, twirling with the forced hot air heat. Would make a great mobile for a nursery, too. A String of them on jute or baker’s twine? Lots of ways to use these!

  38. I love this idea!! You always have leftover pieces that really aren’t good for a large craft, so this is the perfect way to use that up and not waste it. What a fun gift idea for friends & family!

  42. Helloooo. I just stumbled upon this old post of yours. I love how its not turned inside out to be the perfect little pillows and the double stitching is intentionally wonky. Intentionally imperfect crafts are right up my alley! Thanks for sharing your idea!
