Hello everyone and welcome back, today I have something fun to share ;) a sweet Valentine for for my Granddaughter. The heart(s) are felt as well as the word LOVE, I used my Artisan X-plorer® to cut the felt, and it was like cutting butter. I embroidered around the edges using a Blanket Stitch, (here you will find a chart with different embroidery stitches), then glued everything together. For the finishing touches, I painted the dowel, tied two separate double bows, added flowers, then glued everything in place. I added buttons to the inside of the glass jar for color and achoring the dowel. Much to my surprise, this little project went together fast, which is a always a plus.
That's it for me, remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.
