How to Make the Perfect Heart Necklace for Your Valentine

Use yarn, ribbon, and fabric scraps to make a heart necklace for your Valentine.

Here are the supplies you’ll need:

• Five 30″ to 36″ lengths of different yarn, fun fibers, fabric strips, twine, 1/8″ ribbon, etc.
• Two 3″ x 3″ pieces of felt, each a different color
• Charm or bead
• Heart Necklace Template

Let’s make the Valentine Heart Necklace:

1. Print the Heart Necklace Template and cut out the shapes.
2. Trace the shapes, each on a different color of felt.
3. Align the top points of the hearts.
4. Punch a hole through both hearts about ¼” below the top center point.
5. Fold one of the thinnest lengths of fiber in half, and pull a loop through the hole so the loop is on the front of the hearts.
6. Add your charm or bead by passing the loop through it.
7. Center the bundle of fibers above the hearts and on top of the thin fiber tails. Pass the tails of the thin fiber through the loop and tighten.
8. Add one of the thin fiber tails to the fiber bundle on the right, and the other to the bundle on the left. Tie a simple overhand knot with all the fibers 4″ to 5″ from the hearts on each side.
9. Knot the ends of each bundle together.
10. Wear your Valentine heart necklace, or give it to your Valentine.
