To make the pillow, I started by cutting hearts out of leftover fabric.
I folded each heart in half and ironed a crease in the middle to give each heart dimension.
Next, I ironed each heart flat to make for easier placement on the pillow form.
Using my hot glue gun, I attached each heart to the pillow, one overlapping the other.
I finished the the pillow by adding a button in the center.
I hope she loves it!

Great pillow, so pretty and simple. Gotta love that gorgeous flower. You're so talented and clever. Great project to copy. I don't have fabric but do have red felt so will be cranking out those hearts to make a pillow. No teacher to give to so might just have to keep it for me to put on our bed. So glad you shared. Happy Week
LOVE this pillow! You should enter your photos from this project into Craftbaby's Hearts Craft Challenge :-) http://www.craftbaby.com/contests/43/those-tiny-toes-hearts-craft
