Surprise your loved ones with a soft and comfy heart-shaped pillow that isn't knotted with threads, but love!

This heart pillow is one of the best art and craft projects for kids because it doesn’t require sewing. A few cuts and knots here and there is all that’s needed to create these squishy DIY pillows.

Your young teenager and kid can easily make this pillow to embellish their bedroom, or gift it to their friends, grandparents, or you!

What You’ll Need:

· Polar fleece fabric of 16”x50” (length x breadth)

· A pair of fabric-cutting scissors

· A pair of paper-cutting scissors

· Dressmaking pins

· Chopsticks

· Printer

· A3 or A4 size paper

· Tape

Note:

· We recommend using Polar fleece-knit fabric for the best results because it's incredibly soft to the touch, warm, and won't fray for a long time. Your kids can play around with different colors as their liking.

· Please don't waste the excessive fabric bits and cuts, instead, utilize them as pillow stuffing along with craft hobby fill stuffing.

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Print the heart-shaped template at 100 percent on a single A3 size paper, or two horizontal A4 papers and tape them together to form a heart shape.

2. Cut out the heart shape along both lines using paper-cutting scissors and put the cut paper aside.

3. The fabric and fold it in half, place it over the template, and cut it along the template. You will have two pieces of heart-shaped fabric measuring 16”x 24”. These pieces will be used as the front and back cover.

4. Take the front piece of fabric and fold it in half so that the right sides of the fabric face each other. Repeat the same with the fabric piece for the back.

5. Take the exterior heart template and pin it on the folded fabric. Now cut the fabric along with the template shape.

6. Place the interior heart template at the center of the heart-shaped fabric cut using the exterior template in the above step and pin it using dressmaking pins. Cut small fringes on the area around the interior paper heart template. Make sure the fringes are equally spaced.

7. Remove the template and place the two fabric pieces together so that the wrong sides face each other.

8. Now tie the matching fringes on each side of the fabric together in knots and leave a 2 inches wide opening on the top for stuffing.

9. Fill the pillow with hobby stuffing through the opening and knot the leftover fringes together as well. Use the chopstick to push the filling further inside the pillow for better stuffing.

And it’s done! You deserve a pat on the back and this cuddly soft heart pillow, of course!
