diy - valentine's love notes

the girls wanted to make some cute little notes to give to some of their friends for valentines - we settled on these cute little heart note/envelopes - easy to make yet they look super cute!

i made this heart template that we printed out on cardstock {you can click on the image below to download the pdf} you could of course just use some pretty paper and cut a heart shape out :)

 when you have your heart cut out, on the blank side you can write your love letter/ draw a picture -whatever takes your fancy

then, to fold it into an envelope, first you need to fold both sides in to the middle - like below

then fold the top of the heart down as below

finally, turn the heart around and fold the point of the heart down and seal with a sticker - done!

i think these would be perfect to sneak into wallets/lunchboxes/coat pockets too!

Valentine's DIY - Fabric Heart Pouch

Hey everyone! I'm excited to bring you the first post of my week long Valentine's DIY special :) I'll be here everyday with a an easy DIY for you to make for your love for Valentine's Day.

Today I have a tutorial to make a fabric heart pouch. These are perfect to fill with some chocolates and give as a gift to loved ones.

You can use any fabric combination of your choice, I used denim for the two back pieces and a cotton for the front piece.

Click HERE to enlarge to full size

Print out this template and cut out piece A from the front fabric and pieces B & C from the back fabric

Next step is to hem the straight edges on pieces  B & C

Then pin all three pieces together, right sides facing, like so:

Then sew them all together like this:

 

Turn the right way out and there you have it - one cute heart pouch!

I filled mine with some heart shaped chocolates - I've made one each for my girls as their Valentine's present.

If you make one I'd love to see your photos!
