A Quick Valentine Idea

Repost from 2011
This can be made for any occasion but I always make them for Valentine's day.
All you need is red or pink felt and clear plastic:
Cut a heart shape from each, measuring about 5 - 6" wide.
Stitch 3/4 around the heart, stuff it with candy, and complete the stitching to close. (It is easier to sew it plastic side down)

It's a lot of fun watching children try to figure out how to get the candy out!!


I have also made these by punching holes all around the edges and stitching it closed with yarn or embroidery floss!

    Oh my gosh - how cute! My boys would tear right through them to get to the candy! They'd last about 5 seconds in my house - unless I put them up HIGH!

    how cute I love this! I got a sewing machine for Christmas but it is intimidating to me, I need to just experiment! This inspires me!
    Thanks for stopping by my blog, I hope to be working on that tutorial:)

    That is the cutest idea, I bookmarked it, which is the highest compliment a blogger could get. I could see this for all of the holidays. I figured out sewing plastic onto fabric that yep, plastic side down.

    Hi Patti, this is such a cute idea! I'm going to go buy some felt and steal your idea. It will be the perfect little valentine to send to my son.
    Have a great weekend.
