Description:

I thought I'd start the group off with a swap that's all about easy and fun stitching in time for Valentine's Day!

You will have one swap partner for whom you will make a felt heart pendant, around 2 to 3 inches. The finished piece will be for your partner to wear as a pendant so make sure it has a way to be attached to a necklace (jump ring, ribbon hoop, a stitched hole, etc). See the picture at the top of this swap for examples/ideas. You can embellish it with beads, thread, brads, grommets, use your imagination! Recipients, just remember that this is for those of us beginners when it comes to sewing/stitching. Senders, do your best to make something cute and lovely your partner will be proud to wear for Valentine's day or every day!

Do a Pinterest search for "felt heart" for other ideas and tutorials.

This swap is INTERNATIONAL. Rated 5 with at least 1 type 3 swap completed - I just want to make sure we have a safe, friendly group of responsible swappers. Keeping it small and flat will allow you to mail it in a regular, flat envelope to keep postage costs low.

Any ideas? Any Questions? Please pm me.

I've never done any felt crafts, but this is really fun! I sure hope my partner like what I've come up with♥

This is going to be so fun to try! I would love to get you as a partner!

I don't even know how to thread a needle, lol. But I can needle felt, I'm going to see if I can make something and then sign up if it turns out well.

I would imagine needle felting would be even more interesting because you're felting from scratch. Hope you join in and share what you made :)

Is it a felt heart or a needle felted heart? I've never needle felted and don't have the stuff to do it, but someday I would love to try!

GrammaG my intention is for everyone to use felt but if anyone wants to make their own felt with wool roving, the results will still be a felt heart. I'm using felt sheets so please feel free do the same unless you are feeling particularly brave!

Can't wait for partners to be assigned! Just looking to make final personalization...

It won't let me assign until tomorrow but I'm in the same boat. Can't wait to finalize based on my recipient :)
