VALENTINE'S DAY - D.I.Y. FELT HEART POM POM GARLAND TUTORIAL
Happy Valentine’s Day!
We hope you are enjoying your sweethearts and filling you day with love. We wanted to share a quick and fun, kid friendly tutorial that we created for some fun Valentine’s Day decor this year: Our Felt Heart Pom-Pom Garland.
This tutorial is easy, can be imperfect, and fun. The only piece of caution is don’t get it tangled like we did when you finish - what was quick and easy became long and frustrating once tangled.
You’ll need:
Felt (color for your hearts)
Pom-Poms (if you don’t have them, use cotton balls!)
String
Hot Glue Gun/Scissors
Step 1: Create your Heart Template - cut out some hearts but folding over the felt and creating a template heart that you like. Repeat this step for each heart, using your template heart as a pattern guide. Enlist some help like I did - tousled hair and straight out of bed but it worked. Don’t worry if your hearts have jagged edges or all are not quite uniform….it sorta adds to the charm. We would argue that all hearts have been shaped in their own ways……
Step 2: Cut your string and start to add the hearts and pom poms, alternating their attachments on the string.
Step 3: Let them dry. Hang your garland and enjoy! If you find your hearts flipping, we just added a little tape to the back to keep them in place where we hung them.
Enjoy this fun garland - it is bright and happy and the perfect way to create more LOVE this Valentine’s Day! Feel free to substitute more colors of pom poms - we never did use the red ones we bought as they did not really coordinate with our felt, but you can change this up so many ways. Post a picture of your creations if you feel like it - share the love!
