How to Make a Fabric Heart Garland Using a LouLou Bundle.

If you’re looking for a sweet, cozy project that’s quick, forgiving, and totally charming, this fabric heart garland is it. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, a nursery, a party backdrop, or just adding a little handmade love to your space. Best of all, it’s a great way to show off a LouLou fabric bundle.

Supplies You’ll Need
- A LouLou fabric bundle
- Cotton batting
- Washable fabric pen
- Heart-shaped cookie cutter or heart pattern
- Sewing machine
- Pinking scissors
- Ribbon, thread, twine, or rope for hanging
Step 1: Cut Your Fabric Squares
Start by cutting fabric squares slightly oversized for the heart size you want. Bigger squares = chunkier, cozier hearts. You’ll need two fabric squares per heart.
Step 2: Draw Your Heart
On the right side of one fabric square, trace a heart using a cookie cutter or paper pattern. A washable fabric pen is perfect here so nothing permanent shows later.
Step 3: Layer It Up
Create a little heart sandwich:
- Place the two fabric squares wrong sides together
- Add two layers of cotton batting in between
This gives your hearts a soft, puffy, quilted feel.
Step 4: Sew the Heart
Sew directly on the line you traced, stitching all the way around the heart. Don’t stress about perfection—slightly imperfect stitching adds charm.
Step 5: Trim with Pinking Scissors ( or scalloped scissors)
Using pinking scissors, carefully cut around the heart, about ½ inch away from your stitching. The zigzag edge prevents fraying and gives the hearts a fun, finished look.
Step 6: Make It a Garland
Once all your hearts are finished, string them together using ribbon, thread, twine, or rope—whatever fits your style. Space them evenly or cluster them for a fuller look.
Style Ideas
- Mix and match prints from your LouLou bundle for a playful look
- Use neutral twine for farmhouse vibes
- Try velvet ribbon for something extra luxe
- Hang across a mantel, shelf, window, or headboard
This is one of those projects that looks high-end but is incredibly approachable—even for beginners. Cozy, handmade, and full of heart.
