I first saw this idea on Pinterest & thought I'd love to recreate it myself! I think it looks so charming hanging on the wall, not to mention it's perfect for Valentine's Day!
All you need is a tennis racket & some embroidery floss. I found my racket at a thrift store for less than $2 {I love that it's gold since that's a big color in my bedroom - note the gold bunting}! =) I used 4 different colors of embroidery floss to make the heart. All you do is find the middle & center of the racket head & decide how tall you want your heart to be. For the middle column of my heart I have 4 empty string slots at the bottom & 7 empty slots at the top. Wrap the embroidery floss tightly over the slot column you want & secure with a knot in the back. Each time you start a new heart column you move up a string slot. I wrapped a ribbon around the handle of my racket mostly because the handle was a little rough & I couldn't get the price sticker off easily. I was able to hang my racket with a single nail... just try out positioning/height before you place your nail in the wall.
Love may mean a score of zero in tennis, but it sure rates high with me! =)
Love,

That is so cute! Love the colors you chose.
