Create Shapely Accessories

From fabric to crochet, you can make almost anything your heart desires

13 February 2015

FABRIC HEART
Fold a piece of floral fabric double and draw a heart shape on the fabric. Cut out, adding a seam allowance of 1cm. Stitch together the two pieces of fabric, right sides facing, leaving an opening. Turn the heart through to the right side, stuff it and sew the opening closed. Decorate with beads. For the chain, plait three pieces of cotton thread together to make a string long enough to go around your neck.

FLOWER EARRINGS
We simply made these earrings from bought crocheted flowers. Glue the small flowers onto the bigger ones and thread onto long earring hooks. Thread on extra decorations if you wish – the bells we used come from a bead shop – and round off with rhinestones in the centre.
