What do I do with this??

I cant decide how to finish this heart shaped cross stitch....I found some perfect fabric for the back, but its too big for a pincusion, and too small for a regular pillow.  Any suggestions?  I used red overdyed thread and love the way it looks.The one I saw finished was just a simple pillow.

nice , Ive made the same (The Primitive Hare-Freebie)
stitched 1:1 and made a pillow and filled it with cherry seeds,
heat it in the microwave.

You could make it into a scented cushion also by adding lavender or rose hips; any scent you like.   Or you could make it into a little bag with scent or to store soaps in your bathroom.    The options are endless.   Try pinterest for ideas.   They have a lot of crafty ideas on the website.

If your sewing skills are up to it, maybe you could give it extra borders. Probably red, black and/or white.  Adding borders is a good way to get something larger quickly, you could get cushion or pillow size and adjust this border width and numbers to suit yourself.

Puedes hacer una bolsa para viaje para la ropa interio o añadiendo tela combinada una bolsa mas grande para organizar la ropa en el cajon, o incluso forrar una caja

I would finish it the same as you would a flat ornament with a twisted cord trim and hang over a knob on a cupboard or a door knob. Its cute! :)

I had the same issue with a certain project I did.  I added extra fabric to the edges to make borders and then it was large enough for a pillow.  

Lovey work!
