Looking for a thoughtful and homemade gift to give to a loved one? Consider creating a pocket hug with this DIY tutorial. This gift features a fabric heart and a poem that can be customized to your liking. Here’s how to make it:
Fabric Heart
Start by selecting a fabric that your loved one will adore. Cut two pieces of fabric into a heart shape, large enough to fit into a pocket. You can use a template or freehand the shape. Place the two pieces of fabric together with the right sides facing each other.
Using a sewing machine or needle and thread, sew around the edges of the heart, leaving a small opening for stuffing. Turn the heart right side out and stuff it with enough batting or filling to make it plump and soft. Once it’s full, sew the opening shut.
Poem
The poem for your pocket hug can be customized to fit your situation. Here is a sample poem to get your creative juices flowing:
When you’re feeling sad and blue,
And need a little hug or two,
Here’s a pocket hug made with love,
To comfort you from up above.
Place the heart in the pocket of the loved one who needs a hug and give them the poem to read. It’s a thoughtful gesture that they’ll appreciate time and time again.
If you’re making multiple pocket hugs, feel free to customize the poem for each recipient. Add their name, a favorite quote or inside joke to make it unique to them.
Conclusion
The pocket hug is an easy DIY project that can brighten someone’s day. With a simple poem and a fabric heart, you can create a thoughtful gesture that will be cherished by your loved one. Give it a try and see the joy it brings!
