Needle Felting: My Valentine's Hearts

I adore needle felting. I am a novice, if you don't know by now, I am a novice at everything, but I try. I decided to make some cute heart pins for Valentines.

Start with roving and a needle felting tool.

Wrap the roving around a stick to form an oval.

Start needle felting.


This is the heart after 5 minutes. I also shape it into the form of a heart as I am working.



Finished, after about 15 minutes.


I sewed a pin to the backside of the heart.



I decided to embellish it with some red beads.

And some silver beads.

I sewed the beads on individually.

All finished.


I made another one and sewed tiny pearls on it.

I heart you......

    That's so old fashioned and sweet. :) I've wondered before how that works.
