My son loves pizza and pepperoni pizza is his favorite. We prefer to make our own pizza at home and my son’s favorite part of the process (besides, of course, eating pizza) is to put toping on it.

So, I made this applique for my son to embellish his t-shirt. Now he is proudly wearing it while helping me with pizza!  

You can use this heart-shaped Pizza applique for holidays, birthdays, any other occasion, or just without any occasion.

Using this Pizza Heart crochet pattern you can also make an ornament for your Christmas tree.

By using this applique for homemade greeting cards, you can make a cute Valentine’s Day card “You stole a pizza my heart” (see picture at the end of this post). And by the way, such a card will be great not only for Valentine’s Day, but also for birthdays.
