I am not a big fan of actual conversation hearts…I mean, what exactly are those things made of? But felt conversation hearts…now we’re talkin’. This is a quick and easy little craft, assuming you have some basic embroidery skills. Let’s get started!
A few color choices of both felt and embroidery thread
Step 1: Sketch a 2-2 1/2 inch heart on a large piece of felt. Decide what you would like your heart to say, and lightly trace the words in the center of your heart. DO NOT CUT OUT YOUR HEART (that sounds weird!).
Step Two: Put your felt into an embroidery hoop and embroider your words using back stitch.
Step Three: Cut out your heart, as well as an additional identical heart.
Step Four: Using a blanket stitch, sew your hearts together. When you have just a small opening left, stuff your heart and then finish sewing it closed.
Optional: Using either hot glue or a needle and thread, sew a pin backing onto your heart, making for a cute Valentine’s Day pin!
Now go out and wear your heart on your sleeve (sorry, I couldn’t resist)!
