Conversation Hearts
Materials:A few color choices of both felt and embroidery thread
Needle
Embroidery hoop
Stuffing
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 a bit funny!).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!
