Tiny Hearts

Last week I had lots of fun making some tiny crochet hearts...

They are really tiny, measuring only 3 cm. I used this great tutorial. They are so simple to make and really quite addictive! I used some oddments of Rowan Cotton Glacé that I had and they really only take such a tiny amount of yarn. Originally, I had been planning to make a little garland with the little hearts but came across an empty frame and decided to make a little picture instead...
I sprayed the hearts with some starch and left them to dry or an hour then glued them on to a piece of white card stock using extra strong all purpose glue before putting the little picture inside the frame...
Here it is looking quite at home on Miss M's bookshelf. I think it looks quite sweet! It was a really quick and satisfying little project which only took a couple of hours. I may still make that garland though...!
Happy weekend!

    Very sweet....when I was first learning to crochet, I used kitchen string because it was chunky and I could see the stitches, occasionally I still find a string heart or star down the back of the sofa...

    That's a really pretty idea and looks lovely with Miss M's other things. I'm so impressed with how productive you are at the moment too - not much of that going on here. x

    What a brilliant idea! They look so good in that frame. A garland would be fun too, I've often fancied making a little crocheted garland. x
