A Sprinkling of Love Throughout the Day – Valentine’s Day Garlands

Post by Helen Bird of www.curlybirds.typepad.com
On Valentine’s day I’ll be spreading these Valentine’s Day garlands around the house – on pillows, in lunch bags, hidden in shoes and next to favorite toys. A sprinkling of love throughout the day!

And you can make some Valentine’s Day garlands too…

You’ll need:

• Felt
• Embroidery floss
• Fiberfill (stuffing)
• Needle
• Scissors

Cut out a heart shape (if you plan on making a lot draw a simple pattern out of paper and pin it to the felt).

Using 1 strand of embroidery floss sew the heart with blanket stitch or running stitch. Remember to leave an opening big enough to stuff.

Stuff heart – be careful not to overfill.

Sew up the opening.

Repeat and place in all your kids’ favorite places for little eyes to find.
