Instructions

potpourri heart image 1 Using the potpourri heart template, cut out 2 pieces of tulle or netting.

With the 2 pieces lined up, pin them both to the tissue paper. (The tissue paper helps hold them in place while you sew them together.)

Referring to the template, hand stitch along the red line.

Stuff the heart with potpourri and then stitch the heart shut along the blue line. (If necessary, add more potpourri when the heart is almost completely closed. The goal is to get the heart as full as possible.)

Starting at the top center of the heart (in the " V "), sew the lace ruffle in place all the way around.
