A scented heart for your tree or your drawers!

Step 1
Cut out your blue heart using the template.
Step 2
Draw around the blue heart on to red felt, leaving a little margin around the edges.
Step 3
Cut out the two cross templates.
Step 4
Cut out the larger cross from white felt.
Step 5
Then cut out the smaller cross from red felt.
Step 6
Cut out the two thicker strips from white and the two thinner from red.
Step 7
Place these on top of the heart.
Step 8
Place the cross on top, just to check it's all looking good.
Step 9
Cut a length of ribbon as your hanger.
Step 10
Pin to the middle of the blue heart and sew in place.
Step 11
Flip over and sew the first white stripe on and then the second using white thread.
Step 12
Stitch the red strips in to the middle of the white, using a zig-zag stitch and red thread.
Step 13
Place the white cross on top and stitch in place with white thread.
Step 14
Then place the red on top and stitch using red thread.
Step 15
I made a little sent pouch for the middle by folding a piece of paper in to an envelope and filling with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Tape well with masking tape.
Step 16
Place the scent pouch in the centre of the hearts.
Step 17
Place the blue on top of the red heart and sew around with a zig zag stitch. Snip off any excess red felt from around the edges.
Step 18
Hang on your tree!
