This is a very nice project to do with kids around valantine’s day to dress a corner of the wall.
I recommend using matching paper (you need to do more than one to look cute)
See instructions here on Martha’s
You will need
* Colorful paper cut in squares (the heart pouche will be sized 2/3 of the square size)
* Hole punch
* Glue
* Ribbon

I found this tutorial to make a snow flower pillow.
I love the way the flower is made and i guess you can just use the instructions for the flower and make it as decoration on its own.
I have to try to make it (will it work if hand sewn?)
Thank you Amy Butler
