Valentines made of felt

On Valentine's Day it is common to exchange valentines - cards in the form of hearts as a token of love, tenderness and loyalty. You can buy a card in almost any bookstore and kiosk. But it is better to create a unique valentine for a gift to your beloved yourself. There are many ideas, what a craft in the form of a heart can be created. We propose to make hearts of felt with our own hands. Felt is a wonderful material. It is soft and warm to the touch. In addition, felt does not crumble when cutting, easily sewn and processed. Having picked up a material of bright shades, it is possible to make variously decorated hand-made articles.

You will need:

• small pieces of felt of saturated colors;
• cotton thread in the color of felt;
• small pins;
• special scissors;
• sintepon (holofayber);

1. Make a pattern-stencil for the heart from the felt of the right size. We circle it around the prepared squares of the material. For each heart we need two identical parts.
2. Special scissors cut out a small heart with figured edges.
3. We sew the workpiece along the contour with a thread, slightly receding from the edge. Not a bit finished, stuffing the workpiece with a sintepon, helping with a thin stick.
