Ingredients
  

  • 8 " Embroidery hoop
  • Faux fur yarn fuzzy yarn, off-white color
  • Large darning needle
  • Thin knit material
  • Matching lace ribbon
  • Beaded embellishments
  • Gold metallic paint and paintbrush
  • Chalk or pencil for marking

Instructions
 

  • Cut a piece of knit fabric and insert it into the embroidery hoop.
  • Freehand a heart shape outline in the center of the hoop.
  • Thread the needle with yarn and start at one end of the heart, poking the needle through from the back side to the front.
  • Working in rows, run the fur yarn across the size of the heart until the outline is covered and the heart is filled in.
  • Secure the yarn on the back side to keep it from pulling through. Tie a knot or add a dab of glue to hold the ends in place.
  • Using a paintbrush, brush the gold paint on to the wooden hoop and lightly brush over the edges of the material.
  • Create a small lace bow and glue it to the top of the embroidery hoop. Glue the embellishments in the center of the bow.
  • Hang to enjoy!
