Love Pillow

Designed by Pattie Wilkinson

 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
I hope you get lots of chocolate, kisses, and lots of love today.

Here's a 'lovely' idea for the day.  When I designed this pillow, I thought the contrast of the burlap with the glitz would be nice.   Fun textures enhance its appeal with the felt letters and jewels you add onto the stylish burlap fabric using Aleene’s® adhesives. It’s an accent piece you’ll love to have in any room in your home not just for Valentine's Day, but EVERY day.

Materials List

• Aleene's® Fabric Fusion® Permanent Dry Cleanable Fabric Adhesive
  
  
• Aleene's® Jewel-It Embellishing Glue™

  •   Black bias tape – 1 yard

• Instructions

  1. Cut two heart-shaped pieces from burlap fabric.

  5. Lay cut-out letters and heart onto pillow for placement.
  6. Use Aleene’s® Fabric Fusion™ to glue “Love” letters and heart to pillow. Pin in place until set.
  7. Use Aleene’s® Jewel-It™ to adhere jewels and jeweled trim around edge of pillow. Pin in place until dry.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

Need a last minute Valentine's Day bouquet??

This is a great way to express your love, and with a SWEEEET sentiment.
Grab a flower pot and fill it full of candy, and add this poem I wrote myself:



If you really want to do it up right, check out the instructions for the Candy Gram Bokay on the Pattiewack website. You'll find a cute poster idea that you can glue the candy to, or make the bokay for your special someone on this special day.

Then, let the sweeeeeet candy gorging begin!

Happy Valentines Day, everyone...

Watch my LifetimeTV.com video NOW!

I am so excited! My Valentine's Day video is now ready to see on Lifetime TV's website at www.MyLifetime.com, where I show how to create a beaded Valentine Suncatcher. I made it with glass beads that catch the sunlight in your window, or you can give it as a Valentine's Day gift. You could also make your beaded heart to hang from a chandelier above your dining table as a party decoration. If you use it for a party, it would look terrific to put more beads on wires for napkin rings, and to wind around the stems of goblets for more party decorations.

Another great idea if you are having a girlfriend get-together, is to fill martini glasses with beads and then for entertainment, everyone could make their own suncatchers to take home!
