I finished the felt heart magnets! The stitching is horribly imperfect but I can live with it. It adds character, or something like that.
This project was ridiculously easy to pull together. The felt and thread are from the Paris Flea Market collection at Prairie Point Junction. I made a small heart shape on paper and then traced it onto the felt. I cut out two felt hearts to make each magnet. I blanket-stitched the hearts together (getting the blanket-stitch down is always the hardest part for me. By heart #2 I had it and it really is easy) leaving a small opening for stuffing, stuffed them with a small amount of batting, and stitched them closed.
I couldn't find my E6000 adhesive, so I turned to my Beacon Adhesives craft glue. I used it to glue small magnets onto the back of each heart.
Here they are gracing my fridge. You can see I'm down to 3 from the original set of 6. The kids each comandeered one and I put one on my vision board because I just like how warm and cozy they look. A perfect little Valentine project. I hope you like it!
Happy Crafting! Kate
