Here's a quick little Valentine's decoration with a twist: It holds chocolate!
Materials
- Felt
- Fabric glue
- Needle and thread
- Embroidery floss
- Pins
- Scissors
- Ribbon
- Chocolate!
Steps
Cut heart shapes out of felt. I cut two sizes, one for the front sides of the pockets that will hold the chocolate, to decorate the pockets with. Glue (or sew, if you prefer) the smaller decorative hearts to the larger (pocket) hearts (you can also do this second step later; I just happened to do it at this point).
Pin the front sides of the pockets to their corresponding backs. Using embroidery floss, sew most of the way around, leaving the top open (pic below is out of sequence).
Fill the pockets with chocolate and hang (use push-pins, magnets, or sew a ring to the top of the ribbon -- I used magnets to attach my chocolate-pocket heart garland to a lamp).
Pin large hearts onto another piece of felt and cut around it to create the back sides of the pockets.
Set front sides of pockets aside and lay the back sides out in a line.
Measure out a piece of ribbon and position lay it on top of your row of pocket-backs. Pin in place
Sew (or glue, if you prefer) the ribbon to the pocket-backs.
Pin the front sides of the pockets to their corresponding backs. Using embroidery floss, sew most of the way around, leaving the top open (pic below is out of sequence).
Fill the pockets with chocolate and hang (use push-pins, magnets, or sew a ring to the top of the ribbon -- I used magnets to attach my chocolate-pocket heart garland to a lamp).
