DIY Conversation Heart Pillows

"I’m not sure what the genesis of these pillows was…hmmm…for some reason I just felt the need to make Conversation Heart Pillows. I have seen others out and about on the googler machine, but I wanted mine to really look like conversation hearts…with straight sides....in other words, a boxed heart pillow. I am sending these pillows to our daughter for a Valentine’s Day gift, so I put on one of our oft-used mantras, as well as one of my favorite terms of endearment as the messages on the hearts. If you need some prompting for Conversation Heart messages, search the internet...there are several lists out there."

Materials List

• Kona Cotton, 1 yard for each pillow. Mine were 3" deep and 14" tall and wide
• Foam. For each pillow I used 1 Foam Pad (3″ X 15″ x 17″)
• Electric Knife
• I used some mini pom pom edging for the white pillow
• Batting (low loft)
• Adhesive Spray
• Sewing Machine
• Cricut Machine (I have the Cricut Explore Air 2)
• I used Pink Iron-On Foil because not one of the 3 Craft Stores we have in town had the non-metallic iron on. If I had planned ahead, I would’ve used this Pink Iron-On instead…just a personal preference. The letters would have been fun in blue as well.
