    To finish:1. Sew ribbon to heart and embroider mom (or any other word or phrase) onto the ribbon (I used the crochet em-

    broidery technique) with brown embroidery thread.

    2. Sew two hearts together with wrong sides facing leaving a 2 inch opening. Stuff with polyester stuffing and sew open-

    ing shut.3. Find someone you love to give it to!

    Yeah, but what does one do with a stuffed winged heart tattoo anyway?

    Fill it with dried beans, stones or marbles to make a snazzy paperweight..

    Fill it with lavender pot pourri for a sweet smelling sachet.

    Find a shadow box frame, frame it and hang it where you will see it lots and lots.

    Make a few of them and hang them mobile style in a corner of your home.
