These little valentine pins are as fun

to wear as they are to make. They
would be a perfect project to make
with kids for their class valentine
swap. Each one takes minutes to
make so you can whip up a bunch in
no time!

Cut an 18-inch length of embroidery

thread in a color that contrasts
pleasantly with the felt. Sew the two
shapes together all around the edge,
1/8th of an inch from the edge using
a small neat running stitch. In order
to hide the knot start your first
stitch in-between the two pieces of
felt. Stop before you get all the way
around so that you leave a small gap
as pictured above.
