Felt heart topiary with the blue bird of happiness.
A fun afternoon project. I cut the hearts out of printer paper the way we did in elementary school - just fold the paper in half and cut - unfold and both sides are the same, adjust the shape by refolding then
cutting a little more.
Lay the cut out heart on felt and cut two. Sew all the embellishments on one side of the heart, sew hearts together leaving a little opening to shove in the fiber fill. Stitch shut.
Carefully snip a couple of stitches open at to bottom point and top middle to run a small wood dowel through. Add a couple of felt balls (for interest) to keep the hearts seperated.
Fun centerpiece for Valentines day.

Such a cute idea, especially with the blue bird incorporated with the hearts. Love it.
