This woven heart can is very versatile, as it can be made with ribbon as shown here, or even as a craft for kids with construction paper. Once complete, it can be placed on a hair clip, or a pin or even a badge reel holder. Here we use 3/8″ wide saddle stitch grosgrain in white with red stitch and red with black stitch.
White with red stitch:
4″ and 4.5″
Red with black stitch:
4″ and 4.5″
For saddle stitch ribbon, I find it easier to stack the layers first before heat sealing the ends. Take the 4″ piece and place it on top of the 4.5″ piece of the same color and adhere together on one end with a dot of glue. Repeat with other color. Then heat seal all ends.
Place glued end on one of the sets on top of the other set on the glued end at a 90 degree angle to each other. Then begin weaving and gluing each step of the way.
I will need to include more detailed pictures later on for these steps.
