I put them out on the fabric and traced around each one, leaving about 2-3 inches extra to fold over.. Well, maybe a little more than that.

It all started with the big felt X’s and O’s.We cut them out to the size of full sheets of felt and then ironed them onto our newly-prettified wall using.

my starching method.. We draped this.red and kraft paper chain.across the front.. We added some topiary balls plunked down on top of some milk glass..

I had Kennedy paint me this white heart onto some scrap wood.She was not too pleased at all because in her mind, Valentine’s decor should always be pink and red, but I love it.

It’s my favorite part!.

Underneath I stuck a bunch of stuff into this bucket of burlap.Kennedy loves to play with them, but honestly they mostly just make a big mess all over the house when the cats get into them and I’m not so fond of that..

I thought I might try making something out of them that would actually look nice sitting on a table instead of making me feel all frustrated.. I’ve seen fabric covered eggs before, but mostly they were a little shabbier than I was in the mood for.Now, don’t get me wrong, these eggs are mighty shabby, but using patterned fabrics that match others I’ve used around the house made all the difference here..

I had some leftover bits from my DIY upholstered ottomans, my.no-sew cornices.
