I can never resist crafting around Valentine’s Day. The days are noticeably longer in February and I love getting home from work in daylight. My stash of Liberty fabrics is really precious but I have a bag of scraps leftover from a sewing project. I thought I would use them up with this sweet and easy Liberty fabric hearts craft.
It’s so easy to decorate some wooden blanks and make your own heart decorations. I used wooden craft blanks, scraps of Liberty fabric and PVA glue.
Easy Liberty fabric hearts
First I sorted out my Liberty scraps, choosing those which had predominantly pink or red in them. I cut them into smaller pieces with fabric scissors.
I covered the wooden heart in PVA glue and started placing my fabric scraps on. I made sure each fabric piece overlapped to give a scrappy look.
I made sure to cover the edges and added a final layer of glue to seal the fabric. There were four hearts and I set them aside to dry before trimming away any loose ends or threads.
I’m really pleased with the way they turned out. The wooden blanks had holes in them so they can be hung up or left to decorate the table for a special meal.
Such a fun way to use up Liberty fabric scraps.
