Handmade valentines are so much sweeter than valentines with cartoon characters that line the pockets of large corporations. And what a wonderful way to introduce children to sewing! This tutorial for a DIY felt heart pencil topper would make a perfect gift for any classmate, teacher, or neighbor!
First gather your supplies:
- Wool felt hearts
- Embroidery floss
- Embroidery needle
- Pencils
Thread your needle and tie a double knot at the end of the thread.
Start the needle in between the hearts so the knot will be hidden.
Sew around the outside of the heart so that the needle always enters through the back of the heart and the floss wraps around the edge of the hearts.
Finish the heart and hide the final knot between the two hearts again.
That’s it! Easy enough for your grade schooler!
