Hi friend! I hope you’re having a great week so far! We’re delighted to welcome back special guest Richele Christensen with this darling heart banner idea! Read on to learn more and enjoy!

Hello friends! I’m so happy to be back with this adorable heart garland using the Tim Holtz Palette Collection. The garland is hanging in my studio widow and it just makes me smile. The Palette collection in Pinks and Reds are so cute together. The hearts are easy to make and you could even had sew them! Now all you need to do is choose your favorite Palette fabrics.

Gather 5-Pinks and 6-Reds from the Palette Collection or you could use any of the colors. The Palette fabrics I used in the Pinks are Ephemera, Tickets, Typography, Toile and Wallpaper. For the Reds I’ve used Tapestry, Tickets, Tiny Print, Collage, Stamps and Typography. These will all be beautiful for our garland.

Use pinking sheers or regular scissors to cut out the fabrics and batting or you could also use felt. You will need 2 pieces of fabric and 1 felt or batting for each heart. You could also use a die to cut the hearts out. The hearts are about 4” and 5” across.

Pin all your heart sets together, one fabric right side down, batting or felt and another fabric right side up.

Sew around the edge about 1/4” in from the outside. Leave a 1 1/2” opening so you can stuff them.

Stuff the heart with a little fiberfill to make the hearts a little puffy.

Sew the opening closed.

String the hearts and pom poms (optional) on to a piece of Pearl Cotton or Embroidery floss. You will need to push the needle across the heart a little bit down from the top of the heart. 

Continue stringing the hearts and pom poms adding a loop at each end for hanging.

Enjoy your heart garland.

Thanks so much for stopping buy and happy sewing! –Richele
