Every Beat Of My Heart

Firstly you need to make a stencil to use when cutting out your fabric. 
You also need a selection of beads and trims. 
I use pinking sheers to cut around my heart shape. 
Then I sew around the edge with a piece of trim down the middle,
leaving a whole to fill with wadding before sewing all the way around.

I then add a few beads onto the trim before repeating the process.



I think one, three or five hearts work well as a hanging decoration. I have had this fabric for a few years now and have always been a bit precious about using it as I don't have a lot, but I think it works really well for this decoration. 
I've added a bell or feathers as a finishing touch to the hanging hearts. 
I think the single ones would be good hanging from a door handle, draw or even on a car inside mirror. 




I like the colour palette of this design, it has a girly vintage touch. 

I will be making more of these as I'm moving into a new house with five other girls at the end of summer. I will also be making them for anyone that's interested in purchasing one with their own choice of colour and fabrics.
