Felt Heart Tutorial

I'd like to share a few tutorials on the site just in case you're inspired to make something for someone this Christmas!


Here are some instructions for a felt heart ornament:



Cut out two heart shapes from felt.  Add the decorative stitching: I used 4 strands of embroidery thread and a running stitch in two different colours.
Attach a button to the middle of the heart.



Cut a ribbon approximately 30cm.  Place felt hearts wrong sides together and whip stitch around the outside, sewing the hearts together.  Make sure you sew in the ribbon when you get to the top centre of the heart.  Leave a gap to insert filling.  I like to use Polyester Fibrefill.


Sew up the gap and knot the end of the thread.


Try them in lots of different colours!
