Burlap Heart

I made up this cute burlap heart for our YW board. It was for a yearly theme of our hearts being knitted together as one. I made a knitted strip of red in the garter stitch to frame out the heart.

I cut a heart shape out of a white foam board.

 I then placed the burlap over the board.

Then cut out the heart with 

an inch to spare for binding.

  I turned the edge of the burlap over and hot glued it to the back of the heart.

 Masking tape concealed the rough edge.

 I then positioned the knitted strip to the form of the heart and hot glued it into place.

 I wound up some yarn balls and glued them as my decorative accent. 

I also used four toothpicks and beads 

to create the knitting needles.

 This is the almost finished heart.

 I then had to add some SPARKLE...so I used tacky glue to adhere some opal glitter 

around the frame of the heart.

I then made up some heart medallions and cut them out for our YW to post their goals on. 

It turned out rather nice.

It would make a cute addition to a sewing room also. Luv it.

Aloha!
