    These hearts are great!!! I’m going to make small hearts (silver dollar size) and add pin backs — will be perfect brooches!

  5. Fill them with potpourri and keep them in your drawers to make your clothes smell nice. Small children would need a lot of help or they could use fabric glue. Needles are for older kids.
