Felt Heart Christmas Decoration

 This is a really easy little Christmas decoration you can make with children and just requires some basic hand sewing skills.

You will need:

Felt

a button (or buttons) to decorate

needle and thread

stuffing

scissors

paper and pencil

 Create a heart template by drawing a heart onto a piece of paper or card and cut out.  If you want it symmetrical, fold your paper in half and draw half a heart and then cut it out.

Place template on felt and cut out.

 Begin by sewing a button in the middle of one of your hearts. 

You could sew a button onto each side.

Or you could cover one side in a variety of coloured buttons. Or beads. 

 Place the two hearts together (right sides facing out) and sew around the edge.  Leave a gap for stuffing. I find the blunt end of a wooden skewer works well for pushing stuffing into small gaps.

 Sew up the gap. Add thread or ribbon for hanging.
