Stuffed Heart Ornament - quick tutorial
I finished my ornaments for Kathleen's ornament swap and thought I would post some step-by-step instructions for how I made them. Nothing tricky here!
Step 1: cut out a bunch of felt circles
Steps 2 & 3: Make a heart template, trace onto felt twice, and lay out the circles on the felt hearts. Then stitch with sewing machine through each column of circles.
Step 4: Stitch buttons onto selected circles (or all of them, or none)
Steps 5 & 6: Put two hearts back to back and handstitch around the edges (adding ribbon at the top) and fill with stuffing before stitching closed.
Step 7: admire your fine handiwork.
Tah-dah!

These are super cute! Do you use wool felt or poly felt?

I love this heart! I want to use more felt in my art projects and have started using buttons also.
