In this video, I am going to show you how to make an ice pack heart, perfect for the little dancer in your life or someone you care about. It makes a cute gift for Valentines. The way I did this one was by putting a lace on top and I have an actual canvas on the back. You can use a soft fabric or whatever you like and you don’t need to use the lace if you would like a solid look.
Supplies:
- Ice Pack
- Fabric
- Scissors
- Pins
- Sharpies
- Lace (optional)
Directions:
- First you are going to want to take your piece of canvas about the size you want the heart to be and you are going to want to fold it in half. And just like when you were kid, draw half a heart. That way you can make sure all the pieces are the same. Now cut it out about a quarter and a half past the line you drew.
- Lay the fabric at the bottom then the lace over it and then the heart that you just cut out on top. Pin the pieces together all around. Next you sew it all around but leave a space open for the ice pack to go into.
- Now take all the pins out and cut around the heart. Cut close to the seam where the bottom one is. This will make it easier when you turn it so there’s not too much puckering. Now that you have finished cutting around it, flip it around. With the ice pack, its best if it is thawed so it is easy to put inside the icepack. Once you put it in, stitch the rest of the heart. I like to do a zig-zag around it and keep it wide. It also gives it a bit of decoration.
And here you have it, a great little gift to give to a dance you know or anyone you love!
