Give Thanks heart:

Freehand a heart shape onto fabric. On the front of the heart sew velvet leaves with invisible thread. Take the heart pieces of fabric and put them back to back. Add a piece of crushed velvet brown ribbon to the inside also as this will be the hanger part. Sew the pieces together but leave an open space to turn the heart right side out. Use the brown ribbon hanger part to pull the heart right side out. Fill the heart with filler. Sew the opening closed. On a piece of white fabric handwrite 'give thanks' with a permanent marker, cut out, and add to the fabric heart.

Add a piece of crushed velvet leaf green ribbon to the inside to be sewn also as this will be the hanger part. Sew the pieces together but leave and open space to turn the heart right side out. After filling the heart with filler you can sew it closed. On a piece of white fabric handwrite 'give joy' with a permanent marker, cut out, and add to the fabric heart.
