Materials You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make these sweet, scented sachets:
Fabric: 11″ x 5 1/2″ piece of plain fabric or duck cloth (cotton canvas cloth)
Stencils: Magnolia Design Co Pattern Stencil(s) of your choice
Permanent Ink: Magnolia Design Co Permanent Ink in colors you love
Applicator tools:
Squeegee for applying ink
Pinking shears for neat, decorative edges
Thread/glue options:
Embroidery floss and needle for stitching
Fabric glue as a no-sew option (perfect for kids!)
Stuffing: Dried lavender or your choice of scented filling
Fiberfill
Embellishments: Buttons, ribbon, beads, etc.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Fabric Hearts
Step 1: Prepare Your Fabric
Start with a piece of plain fabric or duck cloth.
Cut the fabric into two 5 1/2″ squares using pinking shears to prevent fraying and give the edges a stylish zigzag look.
Step 2: Add Your Design
Choose your favorite stencil(s) from Magnolia Design Co. Place the stencils onto the fabric squares.
Using a squeegee, apply Magnolia Design Co Permanent Ink over the mesh section of the pattern. Tip: Make sure the ink spreads evenly for clean, crisp designs.
Peel away the stencil while the ink is wet, and allow the fabric to dry completely before moving on. This ensures that your design doesn’t smudge during the next steps.
Step 4: Glue the Sachet
Place the two fabric squares together, with the design sides facing outward.
Glue the two pieces together using fabric glue. You can also use embroidery thread to sew the edges of the squares together with a running stitch. Be sure to leave a small opening at the top or side for stuffing.
Step 5: Stuff with Love
Begin by adding a pinch of dried lavender to your sachet, creating a lovely scent that makes these hearts extra special.
Fill the rest of the sachet with fiberfill to give it a soft, plush feel.
Step 6: Finish & Embellish
Glue or sew the opening closed with fabric glue or embroidery thread and needle.
For a final touch of charm, consider sewing a button at the top center of the felt heart or adding other small embellishments like ribbon or lace.
Repeat these steps for as many sachets as you’d like to make. The more, the merrier!
