Random.org picked Lizzette’s comment number from the Amazon Gift Card Giveaway last week! Congratulations Lizzette!
Thanks to everyone who commented with book ideas, I’m going to do a post and list them in case you need to add to your list for 2010! You guys came through big time with some great book leads!
I’ve seen this idea all over the place but when I saw Amy’s version at The Idea Room I had to try it!
Super easy…here’s what you’ll need:
*Styrofoam heart
*3/4 yard of felt on the bolt
*Straight pins
Find a 3″ circle and have at it!
80 Circles later…what made me think I could do this with my arthritic right hand I don’t know…I paid dearly.
This part was fun and almost mesmerizing…fold your little circle and put a pin in the corner…fill up that empty heart.
Find more crafts under the pull-down menu on the left under: All Things Crafty!
Fun project! I’m linking to some great parties that have loads of inspiration…check ‘em out if you have time.

Woo girl….you’re a party fiend!!! Love this wreath, so much so, that I could keep one up year’round. Looks fab.
Glad you could Mi4M
Wow! That looks great!!
Great idea. It looks wonderful. When you mentioned the arthritis, I nodded to acknowledge such. Cutting 2 layers or more at once might have been an option. My hands are rebelling at me after many years of handwork. It makes me so sad that at an early age of 59, I am having to limit my sewing & crafting.

Beckie, I’m sorry about your hands
I folded the felt so I cut 4 layers at once, it was harder but took less time. Not sure which is better or if it’s a toss up!!!
Great job! Love it. I especially love the deep red color you chose.

Love it. It’s a keeper for me.

Your wreath turned out great! I made one using square pieces and got a slightly different result. Please feel free to stop by and check it out
Adorable…and I know my hands would be hurting too. I would love to see it done in red velvet or red lace too. What a wonderful craft idea:) The girls and I only did felt valentines w/messages at the sleepover. Wish I had seen this idea before…..those young things could have cut out all my circles;)
That is so very pretty!!

To be so beautiful, you wouldn’t think it would be so simple (at least simple-looking to do)! Lovely job, Rob.
I saw this on the idea room and went straight to the craft store..lol. It’s so cute and easy. I wrapped some of the felt around my poor finger while I was cutting…lol. Helped a little
Amber
Oh’ Robin, your poor lil’ fingers. This is so gorgeous. I just love it. It was worth all the time and pain you put in it for me, was it worth it for you. LOL.

That is gorgeous… so rich and luxurious looking.
This is so pretty! Very nice idea! I might have to borrow it from you.
I love that wreath! I kept trying to find fresh flowers to make one, but there aren’t enough flowers out until V-Day. This is a great alternative.

Ok, when I looked at all those circles before I even read your words, I thought: How bad do her hands hurt right now?!?!? But it does look great!!! How long did it take you?

Hi there,
I love your heart…
My husband’s birthday is on Vlaentines day and so we always make a fuss over the 14th. It is not usually done in Ireland and because of this I have enjoyed your post all the more.
