I am in love with making these pretty heart ornaments. They are made out of cashmere sweaters & wool stuffing. I love cashmere but it doesn't make good, sturdy doll making material. Through the years I've amassed a small collection of it and I'm so glad I now have a project to use it all up. I embroidered a pretty snowflake design with shiny glass beads to sparkle on the tree. We stamped these cute little containers with the teachers last name initial and filled it with candy & a "heart felt" thank you note.
I think I'll have to make a ton of these for my handmade tree. I can't decide which I like better, the red cashmere with white embroidery or taupe with red embroidery. Which is your favorite?
Until next time...

I love all the colours - gorgeous handcrafted items. It's hard to find cashmere here in our charity stores..... I've never seen it but I guess a really good soft wool sweater would do the trick or some thick wool felt.
ReplyDeleteYes, any wool felt will work. Even a scratchy wool sweater as no one will mind scratchy on the Christmas tree. I just love the cashmere because I have a stash I haven't been utilizing for doll making. :)
DeleteThose are lovely! I like both! :)
