I made my heart using #20 crochet thread with a size 1.00 crochet hook, but this heart could also be made as a cushion, in wool or yarn of your choice.

The finished size would be dependent on the thickness of yarn used and the size of your crochet hook.

If you use fine crochet thread you could make earrings or a pendant.

My heart was just the right size to use on a homemade birthday card for someone special.

If you use chunky yarn with a suitably large hook, you would end up with a cozy cushion (pillow).

Suggested ideas to use this heart are:

a cushion or pillow in yarn,
a crazy quilt embellishment,
embellishment for a card,
a brooch,
a badge,
a pendant,
a pair of mini hearts to make earrings,
embellish a bag or a hat,
key fob,
scissors keeper (just attach ribbon to the top of the heart),
or you could personalize the heart with hand embroidery.
