I cut them into squares. I ended up getting 16 squares out of each piece.
Then my grade school heart cutting skills came in handy. I folded each square and cut half a heart.
This was when it got difficult. I tried to string them by hand with yarn but I could not get the yarn to go through the felt. I tried and tried and tried and then gave up. Ha! So I got out the sewing machine and decided to sew them together.
It was so easy once the sewing machine was out. I got so carried away that I made it way too long. So I just cut and draped it on our mantel.
Oh my word that is SO easy and So beautiful! Would you please share these with my readers for Fun Stuff Fridays? http://www.toysinthedryer.com/2012/01/fun-stuff-fridays-8.html
