Sweet Valentine hearts with little buttons and BIG Love!

Sweet sweet Valentine hearts! Little buttons are so fun to work with. This project is so simple and so adorable that it is a Valentines Day must –do!

Directions to make sweet Valentine heart:

Using sharp fabric scissors, cut felt hearts measuring approximately 2 inches wide and 2 inches tall.

I like Kunon felt because it is thick and soft. Stack several buttons on each felt heart and sew through the holes from top to bottom and back up through to the top. Tie a knot on top of the button stack to secure the buttons. For a more colorful effect, use different colored floss from the top button in the stack.

These sassy little button/felt hearts make a great addition to any valentine treat. You can use them in many fun ways including a decoration on a treat box or bag. To adhere them to your surface of choice, choose the glue that works the best for that surface. I recommend Aleene’s Tacky Glue for most crafting projects that work with felt.

If you really love stitching, you can turn a piece of felt into an envelope with a few quick stitches up each side and add a felt heart button stack to close up a love letter with a special touch. I added ribbon to mine too! You can also add one to a little clothespin and attach to a Valentine’s Day Treat! This pretzel treat is super yummy. You can get the recipe on Laura’s Inklings.
