Felt Heart Ornaments


I think the lovely thing about these little felt hearts, is that not only do they look lovely on the Christmas tree, but they can be hung up all year round too :)


They are quick, simple, and satisfying to make - who doesn't love working with felt?! And I really enjoy delicate stitches and beading.


These would work lovely without the ribbon too, just to pile up in bowls around the house, and to cradle in your palm when you need reassurance.


When adding the stuffing, other items such as lavender and cinnamon can also be added, creating lovely fragrant decorations.


The beading in the blanket stitch around the edge of this one was inspired by this brooch. I love the way the beads catch the lights on the Christmas tree.


Why not have a look at the other crafts in my Christmas category...

  3. Very pretty. I like the ones where you have caught a bead around the edge in each stitch.
