  Step 1

  You can use an old cardigan, just make sure you give it a wash first. Pick which colour felt you want for your patches.
  You can use any type of beads, I used ones from an old broken necklace.

  Step 2

  Put your Cardigan on and mark with your chalk were your elbow hits, when you put your hearts on later you can check they match up as much a possible. Than take your paper and make a heart template, once you have this than you can pin it to the fabric (in my case felt) and cut two out.

  Step 3

  Pin your heart over your chalk mark, try on the cardigan again just to double check it sits in the right place. When your happy you can than start sewing it down, you could glue it but I prefer to sew it in case I want to change it at some point. Like I said I used embroidery thread as I just prefer the look, it's always nice around the edges if you are using felt.

  Step 4

  Than once you have sewn your heart down and you are happy, than you can add the beads. I followed the heart shape again on the inside, but it's up to you. If your not huge on sewing or don't have beads you could just sewn down a couple of colourful buttons in one corner.

  Step 5

  And now you can enjoy your new look cardigan, I love that again I have made this from things I already had. I love this D.I.Y and you could really change it up by using different fabric, shapes and beads etc ...
