DIY Chubby Heart Garland



Hi there!!! 

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I suppose I will take any chance I get to spruce up the place with some festive crafts or food. 

I really like working with felt. It makes things so easy and beautiful! And I'm loving chubby things right now so I decided on a chubby heart Garland for us this year! 

It came out adorable and was so easy! I hope you'll give it a try! 


#1. You will need:
-6 felt squares. I did 2 soft pink, 2 hot pink and 2 red
-Twine for stitching.  Mine came from {THE TWINERY}
-A needle with a large head to thread twine.
-scissors
-poly fill
-brown twine for threading garland when finished with hearts.

#2. First cut felt squares into quarters:
 then cut a heart out of one of the quarters. You can use this as your pattern or guide for cutting the rest for cutting the rest of the hearts. 
Cut them in sets of 2 to be sure that every 2 you plan to sew match exactly. So be sure to cut in sets of two with the same color felt.


#3. Now stitch your hearts together with big stitches:
When almost finished stuff each heart with poly fill and complete stitching. Tie a knot.

#4. Your finished chubby heart. Isn't it cute?

#5. Gather all your finished hearts and some brown twine.
#6. Now lace the twine through one corner of each heart.
#7. continue to string each heart on by it's corner:
Try to use the same corner of each heart so they hang uniformly when complete. Mine stayed fine with no glue but if you wanted a more secure fit you could use a dab of hot glue to hold each one in place on the twine garland.



HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!
