  Step 1

  Here are the materials you will need.

  Not pictured are the stuffing and the white cotton thread (oops!)

• 

  Step 2

  First we need to cut out the felt hearts. Draw a heart out on paper and cut it out to use as a template - my hearts were about 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches (6 x 6 cm), but feel free to scale up or down as you see fit.

  Then cut out 2 hearts and a little rectangle of the same coloured felt. The little rectangular strip will be used to cover up the pin back after you sew that on.

• 

  Step 3

  Attach the pin-back to one of the felt pieces by sewing it on with thin white thread.

• 

  Step 4

  Next, sew on the little rectangular piece of felt over the pin-back to make it look neat, and also become more durable.

• 

  Step 5

  Next, use your embroidery thread to write a message on your other piece of felt (not the one that the pin-back was attached to). Be as creative as you like in this stage ;)

• 

  Step 6

  Use your white thread and stitch the heart with the pinback to the heart with the embroidered message. Make sure to leave some part of the edge unstitched for the next step…

• 

  Step 7

  Fill the heart as full as you want with some fibrefill. If you don’t have that on hand, I find remnants of yarn and scraps of cloth from other projects work pretty well too.

• 

  Step 8

  Sew the open edge closed and you’re done!
