Before starting work, it is recommended to wash, dry and iron the double thread. Cut two 15 cm squares from this fabric.

From red cotton, in this case floral, cut out a heart and place it on one of the two-thread base pieces. To make the applique even, you can spray the fabric from the inside with fabric adhesive spray and press it lightly with a warm iron.

If there is no spray, the applique can be glued to a tailor’s adhesive mesh - a “spider web”. Set the zig-zag stitch on your sewing machine, set the stitch height to 4 mm and width to 2 mm. Place a seam around the perimeter of the heart.

Bring the threads to the wrong side, secure with a knot and use a needle to place under the applique. Sew a ribbon with the inscription “Hand made” to the second part of the stand.

Cut a square with a side of 15 cm from the padding polyester. Iron the padding polyester through a damp cloth to remove looseness. If you don’t have padding polyester, you can use thick adhesive fabric or beading. Fold the two-thread pieces with the appliqués facing each other. Lay the padding polyester on top and pin the structure together with tailor's pins or lay a basting seam.

Along the perimeter of the stand, lay a straight stitch 3-4 mm wide, leaving a hole on one side for turning inside out.

To secure the parts, lay a decorative “cardiogram” stitch around the entire perimeter of the stand.
