This is a really easy little Christmas decoration you can make with children and just requires some basic hand sewing skills.
You will need:
Felt
a button (or buttons) to decorate
needle and thread
stuffing
scissors
paper and pencil
Create a heart template by drawing a heart onto a piece of paper or card and cut out. If you want it symmetrical, fold your paper in half and draw half a heart and then cut it out.
Place template on felt and cut out.
Begin by sewing a button in the middle of one of your hearts.
You could sew a button onto each side.
Or you could cover one side in a variety of coloured buttons. Or beads.
Place the two hearts together (right sides facing out) and sew around the edge. Leave a gap for stuffing. I find the blunt end of a wooden skewer works well for pushing stuffing into small gaps.
Sew up the gap. Add thread or ribbon for hanging.
