Cute Padded Denim Hearts Made From Your Old Jeans

I love upcycling my old jeans and use them to make, pillows, quilts, wall organizers and even upholster chairs.
I often end up with lots of small scrap pieces of denim from these projects. Instead of throwing away these scraps, I used them to make some cute padded denim hearts.
These hearts look great hung up in a garland but also make a really sweet key chain/ring that would make a lovely little Valentine's gift.

I used a cookie cutter as a template for my heart shape. I drew round the cutter onto the wrong side of the denim and then cut out the heart.
Pin your hearts wrong sides together and pin the looped seam into the top.
Using a simple running stitch, sew the hearts together by hand leaving a small gap for stuffing.
Stuff the heart with a little bit of fiber from an old pillow and then sew them shut.
They were so quick and easy to make that I ended up making more cute little hearts.
These key chains/rings make a sweet little gift and you can always give them with a card saying something corny like "the key to my heart" etc.
The denim hearts also look great just hung up in a garland as a rustic decoration.
I also made some lovely rustic denim heart wreaths with more of my jeans scraps, you can see them on the same blog post at the end.
