Easy No-Sew Heart Pillow

I'm back today with another no-sew project for Valentine's Day.  Truth be told I don't really decorate too much for Valentine's Day but I do love neutral crafts and decor of any kind...

This morning I'm starting with neutral scrap fabric in three different textures and an inexpensive pillow cover.

For all you color lovers you might want to use a red pillow cover! 


I cut out a heart template using scrap paper and used it to cut out a heart from my most textured piece of fabric.

Next, I drew the same heart shape onto my pillow cover.

I cut strips of drop cloth fabric and another neutral fabric about 1" wide by about 3" long.

I alternated the strips around the heart I drew on the pillow cover and attached them with fabric hot glue.

The strips are glued all the way around the heart.

Next, I glued the textured heart shape into the center of the strips.

I glued close to the edge of the heart to seal the frays, you can also use Fray Check to keep your fabric from fraying more than you want them too. 


I went around the heart and pulled the end fabric pieces to fray the edges of each strip.

Lastly, I lifted the strips around the heart and used more fabric hot glue mid way to secure the strips.
