Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentines Day!
These hanging hearts are a fun craft for today. All I did was cut out different sizes of heart. Then I starched them like crazy and ironed them. If you have fabric stiffener then that’s even better. Then just make a seam down the center to hold them together (fabric glue also works great). Then just attach a string and hang your linen hearts. Simple, cute, and perfect for Valentine’s Day!

So cute but I know that linen unravels fairly easily, what do you do to the edges of the hearts to keep the threads together? Does the starch take care of that?
