Hanging Recycled Stuffed Hearts

 Hearts are not just for Valentine's Day and if you make them from recycled fabric that you love, you're going to want to keep them out all year long! 

This easy tutorial uses recycled fabric tea towels to create beautiful double hanging stuffed hearts. 

Take a look...

I began with tea towels I'm no longer using. Truth be told I took these right out of the basket in my kitchen because I knew they'd make great hanging hearts and I can always buy more!

I cut a heart pattern from a piece of paper and traced the out on a folded tea towel. 

I was sure to make the hearts going in two different directions on the striped fabric. 

Once the hearts were cut out I grabbed a length of macrame cord. This cord has been good for sooo many projects and I'm still using the same bolt! 

I knotted both ends of the twine and glued it inside a heart on both ends. 

Next, I began hot gluing the hearts closed leaving a small opening for stuffing. You can use regular hot glue for this project or hot glue specifically made for fabric. 

I used a small amount of pillow stuffing for the hearts, being sure not to over stuff them. Once the hearts were stuffed I hot glued the opening closed.

I had an extra 2 hearts so I made a loop from another piece of twine and glued it inside the heart to create a single hanging heart. 

I added a small bow of contrasting fabric for a little bling. 

With a heart on each end of the macrame cord, these cuties are ready to hang around your home. 

Don't miss the stuffed heart bowl fillers I made recently! 

I added a great hanging bar for "S" hooks to my the bottom of the shelf on my coffee bar and the hearts look beautiful hanging there! This is my favorite new find and it is on sale now!!

Most things decor on my coffee bar came from the thrift store!
