Make a truly personal gift for a beautiful bride on her wedding day with this lovely vintage-inspired horseshoe and heart duo. Made with delicate printed floral cottons, lace, vintage linen, silk dupion and embroidered roses, they are sure to become treasured heirlooms. The padded heart even has a small pocket on the back to hold some of the confetti used on the day or another small memento too.
Stitch a horseshoe
Download and print the templates for this project. Use the horseshoe outline to cut two from card and two from wadding. Use an acid-free glue stick to adhere each piece of wadding to each cardboard horseshoe and set aside.
Cut two more horseshoes from pale pink floral fabric, but allow an extra 1cm all the way around. Cut rose heads from printed fabric, a piece of pieces of table linen onto the silk dupion, so it borders the embroidered flowers. Arrange all of these pieces onto one of the pale pink horseshoe shapes, then stitch into place using dark pink thread to add depth to the roses. Iron on the reverse.
Lay the finished front horseshoe wrong side up and place one of the card horseshoes on top, wadding side down. Holding it still with one hand, carefully snip into the fabric overhang in 1cm increments all the way around. Apply an acid-free glue stick around the edges of the card and fold each snipped tab over onto it
