2. Put a square heart and a brown felt heart together on the right with pins and sew together with the sewing machine a foot-wide, leaving 3 cm open for falling.
3. For the hanger, place a 30 cm piece of Vichy check ribbon on half and grasp it in the middle of the heart when sewing together. Cut small triangles out of the seam allowance at the rounding of the heart. Turn the heart to the right and iron out the edges. Stuff with filling material and sew the opening by hand.
4. Glue the white rickrack with HT2 textile glue onto brown felt along the edge, starting at the tip of the heart and wrapping the edge at the end and fixing with glue. Finally, sew small satin florets and green renaissance bead onto the white flower by hand.
