Valentine Garland with Felt Hearts

Valentine Garland with Felt Hearts

I love to make things from items that I have on hand and this garland was no exception. I had both of these pink felt squares and yarn, so I was able to create this garland.

These felt hearts go together quickly. I love to sit at night and finish the edges. I use a blanket stitch around the edges.  You can find many tutorials online on creating a blanket stitch - it is easy.

I also found some yarn and decided to make some pom poms to go in between. I only had a little bit of red so I could only make 2 of them. You have to use what you have, right?

I would make the blanket stich around most of the felt heart and then stuff it. Once it was stuffed, I finished the blanket stitch.

When I had finished making the felt hearts, I used a large needle with some twine to go through all of the the hearts. These hearts are about 3 1/2 inches wide and you can see the large needle going through the middle.

Once I had all of the hearts on the twine, then I added the pompoms. The pom poms were tied onto the twine.

I also had a few hearts that were made from old quilts that I put on the mantel.

This is such a simple garland but I love the way it looks on my mantel.

I am happy with my garland, since I didn't have to purchase anything to make it. My kind of projects.

  2. Hi Beverly! Oh, your little garland is so cute! I used to make felt ornaments for my granddaughter and I've made some for myself and I too always used the blanket stitch. Hope your weekend is going well.
    Be a sweetie,

      I had not made anything with felt lately but it was what I had. I too love the blanket stitch. I always use it if I can.
