Paper Hearts Tutorial

Hello again...:O)

I´m just feeling sooo giving .... 

so after several questions on how to make my cute paper hearts for the little Christmas tree...

I decided to make a little HOW TO make them...

Step 1: 

*Find a book...

(not to old, because then the paper will brake when folding the hearts)

For one heart you will need:

*Your Sewing machine...

*A template (just draw a heart out on a piece of paper the size you want)

* Three pieces of paper for the heart

* One wooden pearl ( or whatever you wish..:O)

*Stack the three pieces on top of each other

with the template on top... 

Step 2: 

*Cut out the heart using scissors 

(don´t mark...it will not look good with pencil marks)

Never mind if it becomes a little uneven...

handcraft ..you know..;O)

Step 3:

*Thread your machine with the desired thread

( I used white)

*Draw out some start thread

(enough for making the hanging loop)

*Set your needle in down position

*Line the three layer hearts against the needle

*Lower the pressure foot

*Start sewing

(I used 2.2 stitch length)

*Stop at the end of heart

Step 4:

*Draw out the heart so some thread will follow

(you will need this to thread the pearl)

Step 5:

*Now it should look like this.. :o)

Step 6:

*Thread the end threads with a needle that goes 

in the hole of your pearl...

*Decide what length your pearl will hang

*Sew up and down through the hole twice and knot the thread off.

(Tie well)

*Make a hanging loop of the starting thread...

*Fold out the bottom and top heart a little bit

And voila..

*Finished...:O)

Make lots and hang in your tree!!! :O)

Hope this easy little tutorial is easy to follow...

wish you luck... Have fun..:o)
