After seeing some of the wonderful felt heart wreaths around in blog world, like Amy's and Robin's.........I started thinking, maybe I could make a pin, using the same concept.
>I started with a 9x12 piece of red felt that I bought at Michales. Grabbed a glass that was about 3" in diameter, and traced 6 circles on my piece of felt, then cut them out.
(you also click the picture and choose to view in a larger size for detail)
- Take one circle, fold it in half,
- then in half again.
- Hand stitch thru the bottom point enough to keep it folded.
- Then do the same with each of the circles. I just went from one to the next pulling my thread tightly to keep them all together(I just placed them randomly around each other, not in a stack...it will make sense when you're making it, you basically want the tips sewn together). When I had all 6 pieces attached I put a few more stitches in to keep them nice and tight together.
- Next sew them onto a little pin backing (you can these at Michaels in the jewelry making section).
These were so easy and I love how they turned out! The red makes them perfect for Valentine's Day!
You can wear them on a sweater or jacket, t-shirt, on a bag......or give as a gift!
You could even use them as embellishments on scarves, hats, or pillows – oh, you get the picture!......just sew them right on instead of pining them on!

This is just lovely! What a wonderful way to make a plain old bag or sweater bright and festive. Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday- this project may have to go on my to-do list.
Now that is just adorable! OK...for me, the crafting idiot...did you stack all 6 pieces right on top of each other in a row and then fan them out once sewn?
Your collage how-to is so pretty!
I love this! It seems simple enough that I could actually make it. Thanks for the tutorial!

Very pretty. I like its simple elegance.
girl that is the cutest thing EVER!! and whose hands are those? yours? pretty nails!! :-)
LOL yes Amanda......my hands...acrylic nails. I get permanent french, they use pink acrylic and white acrylic on the tips, so they don't have to be painted, so they stay looking nice all the time! I love them and have done this for years.
