This is a fun little decoration for Valentine's Day make with felt and string. Keep reading to see how to make it!

Supplies:

  • Squares of craft felt in rainbow colors
  • Bakers twine
  • Sewing machine or needle and thread
  • Scissors
  • Chalk
  • Heart cookie cutter
  • Batting
  • Pins
  • Start by tracing the heart shape onto a piece of felt folded in half

 

alt

After it has been traced with chalk, pin the middle to keep both sides together

alt

Cut out your hearts. Keep the pins in. Set pinned hearts aside.

alt

Do the same with the other rainbow colors.

alt

Now sew both pieces together along the edge in a extra wide stitch with contrasting thread. You could also handstitch these. Leave 2 inches open to add the batting.

alt

Stuff the batting into the heart and sew up the last inch.

alt

Do the same with the other colors (I only ended up making one of each color as opposed to the two I had cut out).

alt

Thread some bakers twine into a embroidery needle and poke through the top end of one, threading it through to the other side. Make sure to put the hearts on in rainbow order.

alt

Keep adding to the thread until they're all on.

alt

Tada! Hang in a doorway or window!
