Creating a Wonderful Felted Valentine With Warmth and Love

Two years ago I made a gift to my beloved — a woollen heart. Now I want to share the recipe with you.

Materials and tools:

- 20-30 g of white carded wool

- a little red and pink wool, fine or Merino, combed wool tape

- needles for felting

- a base for felting: sponge or mat

Cut out a template:

Start felting white carded wool:

Add wool if necessary — the heart should be of equal density:

The finished heart should be hard, uniformly dense, with a smooth surface. One side can be convex (front), the second (reverse) — flat.

Start decorating the heart.

Apply the pattern:

Roll balls and make flowers and berries:

I decided to add pink details:

But keep in mind: if the heart is overloaded with elements, the excess is hardly removed.

The finished heart can be attached to a brooch base or a magnet. You can attach a ribbon or glue it to a card. You can sprinkle the inside with some perfume and, thus, turn it into a magical gift.

All the best,
