These tiny felt conversation hearts are destined for my 4 year old daughter’s classroom for Valentine’s Day. I stamped the words onto felt with ink from regular old stamp pads... I have a feeling that the words will be fading away with time, but I’m sure there is some ink out there that would be more durable. I am hoping to give each of her friends 3 or 4 of them in a little bag, with my daughter’s homemade valentine heart/card attached. The recurring theme of things taking longer than I expect is holding true, although I did start working on these last week, so I think I have time to finish.
Actually, these bows that I made took about as long as I thought they would - only about 15 minutes each, and they were the first ones I have ever done. A friend of mine made this cute Halloween one for my daughter, so I based mine off of hers...
My daughter saw me posting things on the blog and wanted to share this exotic dragon that she made at school in celebration of the Chinese New Year:
How small are the conversation hearts? They look tiny and close to impossible to sew! You must have nimble fingers. lol
ReplyDeleteAlso, are the bows barrettes or pins? how do they work? Your daughter's dragon is fun and fierce! ;-D
They are about an inch or so wide... I think I gave myself carpel tunnel after making so many of them ;) The bows are barrettes, but actually more like clips - I think they are called alligator clips? Maybe I'll do a quick tutorial because they were pretty easy to make with just ribbon and a glue gun. And she will be happy to hear your comments about her dragon... he has been dancing around our house all weekend!!
