You Will Need (7 things)

  • Felt
  • Gingham Ribbon
  • Keyring
  • Pinking Shears
  • Sewing Thread
  • Scissors
  • Sewing Machine

Steps (8 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Use the templates, trace around them on baking paper, cut out and pin on the felt. Cut out the largest sized heart in red felt with a regular scissors, the medium size in white felt but use the pinking shears this time, and finally cut the smallest one in blue felt with the use of the regular scissors again.

  2. 2

    Do the same with the bird template and cut one out in white felt. Make a lovely little wing in bright red-the template for this is quite tiny, so you could try free hand either if you find it too small to work with.

  3. 3

    Place the two gingham ribbons(red and blue) 10cm each-one on top of the other, fold over into a loop and place on the red heart as you can see on the picture. Place the white heart on top of the ribbons and attach with white thread in your sewing machine. Start at the top, to secure the ribbons first. Trim all the loose thread ends and put aside.

  4. 4

    Put the little white bird in the centre of the blue heart and sew it in place with white sewing thread.

  5. 5

    Switch to red thread and attach the red wing.

  6. 6

    Now, we`re almost done already and it`s looking good! Place the blue heart in the centre of the white one, change your machine to blue thread and sew all around it.

  7. 7

    Here we go - a very sweet, HeartFelt KeyRing for you to use or to give as a loving gift!

  8. 8

    Use any colour combination you prefer-and maybe add a little wooden button to make it extremely cute!
