Heart Felt DIY

We had so much fun doing this month’s DIY which consists of beautiful “FELT” hearts hanging from a piece of string. Once again thanks so much to Ingrid Marais (www.ingridmarais.co.za) who made this project possible.

With our simple step by step instructions you will be able to create yours in no time. Get creative and use fun colours if you like, and try and play around with different colour thread for an extra feature. This is what you’ll need:

• "FELT” cut into squares big enough to fit the heart templates on. (Different colours)
• Heart Templates (Download here)
• Scissors
• Thread (Different Colours)
• Raffia
• String

Now follow these easy steps:

STEP ONE

Cut out hearts from the felt by using the downloaded templates.

STEP TWO

Stitch the two different sized hearts together using a different coloured thread.

STEP THREE

Take the piece of raffia and make a loop. Stitch the two loop ends to the heart at different angles.

STEP FOUR

Weave the hearts onto the string.
