We have a pretty silly Valentines Day tradition. B and I wear big puffy felt hearts all day! They reminds us of our love while we’re off at work or out in the world.

I made this set maybe four years back so I’ve drawn out the tutorial for you guys. It’s super easy to craft together for a last minute Valentine’s Day surprise.

SUPPLIES

2 sheets of craft felt

this heart template (or just free hand it)

embroidery floss + needle

a small bit of pillow stuffing

safety pin

pen

 

TO MAKE

Cut out two hearts from the felt using the template and pen. Stitch the hearts together with embroidery floss about 1cm (about 1/2”) from the edge. Leave a small 5 cm (2”) opening with the needle and thread still attached. Stuff the heart with the stuffing and close up and tie off your heart. Stitch the non-opening side of the safety pin to the back of the heart at the fullest part (or just above).

I jazzed up my heart a bit by cutting away the top felt at the humps just a little to reveal the back felt. I encourage jazziness whenever possible.

Now, pin the heart to your chest and wear it proudly.

Have a happy Valentine’s Day!
