Supplies:

  • Sweater/long-sleeved shirt
  • Felt
  • Scissors
  • No-sew fabric glue
  • Embroidery thread
  • Needle

Instructions:

step 1 cut hearts from felt

Step 1: Cut hearts out of your felt.

Step 2 glue felt hearts to jacket

Step 2: Glue the felt hearts onto the elbows of your jacket. I had my husband help me place them directly on my elbows as I wore it. Let the glue dry.

step 3 sew felt hearts to jacket

Step 3: Loosely sew the hearts in place. This is to make sure they stay in place during washing, but it’s also a cute embellishment.
