This master class Valentine will teach you how to make your own heart with bullfinches made of felt.
For Valentine's Day I suggest sewing this little gift "Birds in a Heart".We will need:• paper for the template • simple pencil • scissors • felt (sheet or piece of fabric) • thread and needle • beads • synthetic padding or cotton wool for stuffing • a piece of ribbon or string 15-20 cm (for the loop) • glue eyes • transparent glue.Draw a heart by hand. Draw birds inside the heart. Of course, not everyone can copy it, so I am attaching my drawing, you can sew a toy with birds using it by simply printing it out.First, we cut out the heart itself and trace it on felt twice. We cut it out, we get two hearts, we will sew birds on one, and the other will be empty.We cut out the birds themselves from the pattern and cut out the felt details according to them.Once the bird's body parts are cut out, you can cut out the wings and beak. First from the pattern, and then from felt according to them. We lay out all the bird parts on the heart and start sewing them with a basting stitch. We turn them over and sew them back again with this stitch, filling in the empty spaces. Sew only in the middle.After the bodies of the birds are sewn on, we begin sewing on the wings using the same stitch. We embroider the feathers with multi-colored threads; you can use two or three colors. Sew a few beads on the edge of the wings. Next we sew on the beaks, but we try to make the seam smaller. So that the material does not deform. We embroider hair on the tops of the birds. Curls for the girl, and bangs for the boy.After the bird applique is sewn on, we begin sewing the parts of the two hearts together. Sew a ribbon or string inside in the form of a loop. At the bottom of the heart we sew a couple of beads, so that it visually looks like the paws of birds. Having sewn most of the toy, we leave a small hole in it and stuff it with a little padding polyester or cotton wool.Glue on the eyes. The eyes can be glued on with ghost glue.That's it, the toy is ready.
