Cute 'n' cozy heart-shaped pillows

 
Whether you’re throwing a V-Day bash or just want to get crafty with your besties, we’ve got the perfect DIY project for you—just in time for the love holiday! Making heart-shaped pillows is simple, fun and oh-so adorable. So get your girls and supplies together (you can find everything you need at a fabric or craft store) and get started!

 

You will need...

This heart template

Fabric in pink, red and Valentine’s Day patterns

Scissors

Needle and thread

Stuffing

 

The basics

Pick out the fabric you want to use and then fold it in half. Print the template and place it on the fold, and then cut along the edges to get a symmetrical heart half. Do the same step again on another fold of fabric. Sew the two pieces together with the right sides facing in, but don’t sew the whole heart together yet. Leave a little room to put your stuffing in, and then stitch it together.

 

Heart pillow, 2.0

You can use a copy machine (or your comp) to easily resize our template, making it as large or small as you want it to be. Make a bunch in different sizes to toss on your bed. Make a huge one to give to your bestie. Make a teeny one and attach a loop of ribbon , then drape over a door handle or Mom’s rearview mirror. The possibilities are endless!

 

Dress it up

Got the nitty-gritty down? Glam up your pillow by sewing on sequins or hot-gluing rhinestones. Create a sachet by filling it with dried lavender. Get cutesy with felt and embroidery floss. The options are endless!

is it normal for a period to start out brown and then turn red? i am on a birth control that is supposed to stop my period for thee months would that cause it to be brown?
thanks for your help.

 

Hey girl, the brown color is just spotting before your period comes. Some people just spot when on BC and don't get their period at all!

Hey girl,

Here are two posts with Valentine's Day gift ideas. If you don't want to spend much, why not make something yourself? Homemade prezzies are super affordable, and he'll love the time you put into it! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/02/09/V-Day-gifts-for-your-guy.aspx http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/02/10/Cheap-V-Day-prezzies-for-the-dude-of-your-dreams.aspx

MOD MOD MOD! I don't have a needle or thread, and i was wondering, could you use something else? Like string and a toothpick? Thanks in advance! P.S If it was a toothpick, how would i loop the thing on? And tie it off? Thanks!




I am not sure a toothpick would work. Needles are very very inexpensive. Maybe you could buy a set at a local craft store.

Hey sgn_dancer, ask for their numbers and give them yours at the same time. You could try saying something like "I don't think I have your number. Here put it in my phone." Hope this helps! Xoxo

I recently got a cell phone. How do I give people my number. I am not really close with anybody, but I hope to get close now that I can text them. How do give them my number? thanks so much. Lynae P.

Hey mrsrova, you that sounds like a good idea to me. Everyone can use a watch. It might be good to buy it in his fave color. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I'm having a Valentine's Day sleepover and I have all the movies and I am planning flashlight tag. But what else can I do to just have it be a comfortable party? I don't have people over often so how can I get them and me to relax and just have fun? Thanks!!

Hey girl,

You don't have to have everything planned, so leave some room for whatever fun will come! You can also ask your guests what games they like to play so that everyone will have fun. It's normal to be nervous before hosting a party, but don't let your nerves get in the way of you having a great time!
