INSIDE: How to make cute and easy Valentine fabric heart decorations for home using fabric remnants. Easy sew Valentine’s Day craft.
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 Easy Valentine Fabric Hearts from Remnants
Supplies:
– Fabric remnants
– Barbeque skewers
– Sewing thread (Don’t have a sewing machine? Here’s a basic one to learn on!)
– Straight pins + Sewing scissors (Here’s a great sewing kit.)
– Heart shape templates (I used heart cookie cutters)
– Polyfil
– Vintage sewing wooden thread spools
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.

Love these. I just wrote up a blog post for something plaid flannel puffy hearts. Great minds think alike. 🙂

Thanks Sue!
This is a fun and adorable project. I love the idea of using up fabric scraps and just a little something for Valentine’s Day.
Brilliant use of cookie cutters! #CraftyDestash
Thank Emily!
Love these a very sweet use of fabric scraps.
What a fun idea! I’ve got lots of fabric scraps that I need to destash.
Those are adorable! They would be so much fun for a Vintage Valentine’s Day party as cupcake toppers…or even a few as a cake topper.
I can relate, Victoria!! You saved a trip to the craft store, recycled some fabric and did those pretty hearts, that’s fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing it
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!
I love the idea of making projects using only things you have already! These hearts are so cute and perfect for valentine’s day! I’m pinning this to my crafts board and I’ve followed you on pinterest!

These hearts are really cute, and I like the idea of using up leftover fabric! Thanks for sharing this craft.
These are simply adorable and so perfect for Valentine’s Day. I’ve got a bunch of those vintage spools and this is a great idea on how to use them!
Loved the fabric scraps you used Victoria. They’re all such bright happy pieces and displaying them in the vintage wooden sewing spools is genius. Sopretty

Thanks Ali!
Love these!
Adorable! Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle. I am featuring you at the party tomorrow.
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!
Thanks! Very good idea.
love this project and the spools are great! thanks for sharing on craft schooling Sunday, great to reconnect in 2018.
I love this idea, makes me want to learn how to stitch!
I would love some to stick in my plant pots!
Yes, these hearts would love very cute in a flower pot.
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!
I have an overflowing basket of random fabric bits. I could make fabric hearts for.e.ver!
What a fun idea for Valentine’s Day! Great way to use of fabric scraps.
They look so cute. Very clever idea!
These are gorgeous. I love how you have put them in cotton reels rather than hanging them. A great stash buster too!
Thanks Louisa! If only this project made a dent in my fabric stash!!
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!
