Instructions:
Prim Valentine Dove & Heart Bowl Fillers/ Ornies Pattern.
Please read over all the
instructions before beginning. The trace line is the sew line, unless otherwise
indicated. RSO ~ right side out.
Grungy mixture:
Before beginning mix up your
grungy mixture so it will cool. I used 1 cup instant coffee, 1 ½ cups boiling hot water, 2 tbsps. Vanilla and ¼ cup cinnamon.
Boil water and mix all ingredients together. Let cool. Mixture will be very thick and gooey.
Instructions:
Trace bird body and wing
pattern on double layer of muslin. Sew on trace line, leaving the birds tail
open were indicated on pattern. *Wings are completely sewn around. You will cut
a small slit through 1 layer for turning. Cut out ¼” from stitch line.
To complete birds tail~ after
cutting out ¼” from stitch line, take your top and bottom seams of the tail and
match them up. Now stitch across to form a flat tail. (Refer to diagram for
this step) Clip curves and turn RSO. Stuff the birds body firmly. Whipstitch
opening closed. Turn wing RSO~DO NOT STUFF~ no need to stitch slit closed as it
will be the underside and glued to the bird.
For the heart, trace on double
layer of muslin. Sew on trace line completely around. Cut a small slit in one
layer for turning and stuffing. Stuff firm and whip stitch opening closed.
Now take your craft paint and
paint your dove and heart: white for the bird and wing and red for the heart.
(I add a few drops of water to my paint until it’s an ink consistency, and then
paint my fabric.) Let dry completely. . I use the sun to air dry my prims. In
the winter months I use a small heater with a fan. Use whatever method you
wish, but please be careful with whatever heat source you choose.
Once dry take a piece of fine
grit sandpaper and sand your bird, wing and heart. Careful not to rub holes in
the fabric.
Paint entire bird, wing and
heart with the grungy mixture. Let dry. I use the sun to air dry my prims. In
the winter months I use a small heater with a fan. Use whatever method you
wish, but please be careful with whatever heat source you choose.
Once your bird, wing and heart
are dry use the fine grit sandpaper and lightly sand again or if you like the
look just skip this step.
Take your hot glue gun and add
a small amount of the glue to the slit side of the wing and place on bird.
Refer to the pattern for placement.
Make a bunch of the Dove’s and
hearts to fill your prim bowl or add a hanger and place on a prim tree,
cupboard door or anywhere!
