Felt Hanging Hearts

Here is a sweet little project I made for Valentine's Day. I used the Crafter's Edge Crossover II Die Cut Machine and Nesting Hearts die cuts and Whimsical Hearts die cuts together. I attached it to a black metal doll clothes hanger to hang it on my wall.

I just love using the die cut machine to cut felt (both wool felt and acrylic felt) as it cuts so easily and perfectly. I grabbed some felt colors and cut out a few hearts from both die cut hearts and then I played around to see how some hearts would look stacked on top of other hearts. I even used the tiny heart die cuts that come with the Gingerbread and Santa/Snowman die cuts.

Once I got the look that I liked, I added a smear of Elmer's Purple Glue stick to hold the felt in place and then I used a 2-ply strand from a 6-ply embroidery floss and stitched a blanket stitches and French knots mostly. To make the hearts pop more, I stitched with a contrasting thread color. I added some hot fix crystals for a bit more bling. I used a permanent glue to glue felt hearts to the back off all the hearts to cover up the stitching on the backside.

I added some crystals for bling. Blanket stitches, French knots

 and a few more. The tiny hearts were a die cut from both the Gingerbread House die cut and the Santa/Snowman die cut.

Some seed stitches here.

Nested Hearts die cuts I used to cut out the felt hearts.

Whimsical Hearts die cuts were used too.
