Step 1

Create a heart template on copy paper and cut out the shape.

Step 2

Trace the patterns onto felt two times. Do this for however many different sized hearts you want to make. Each bag requires two pieces (front and back).

Step 3

Choose some craft thread and thread your needle. You will be stitching using a blanket stitch. Stitch around the heart, leaving the top of the heart open.

Step 4

Pin the front and back hearts together to keep them secure, then start stitching.

Step 5

Add smaller hearts to the front of the larger hearts and stitch them on using contrasting craft thread and felt.

Step 6

To personalize the heart, stitch on some alpha letter beads and spell out a name.

Step 7

Finally, cut a length of ribbon to make your handle and stitch the ends to either edge of the top of the heart.
