Felt Valentine Banner {Valentine’s Day Decor}

Whip up this felt Valentine’s Day banner with fabric scraps and felt. You can make it any color you want to match your Valentine decor.

Here’s my project:

Felt Valentine’s Day Banner

Supplies:
-Felt
-Tiny beads
-Fabric scraps
-Tulle or ribbon
-Heat and Bond
-Iron, glue gun
-Scissors, needle, and thread
-Yarn or ribbon

Instructions:
Draw heart shape. (I use the fold a piece of paper in half and cut half a heart method.) Trace your heart onto the paper side of some heat and bond. You buy it at the fabric store and it comes on a roll. They sell both light duty (that you can sew through) and heavy duty (which you can’t.) Either kind will work for this project.

Set your iron to medium heat and iron the heat and bond onto the wrong side of your fabric. It only takes 4-5 seconds.

valentine banner-tutorialNow for the cool part. You should be able to just pull that paper off, leaving a shiny back of meltable gluey stuff. Meltable gluey stuff is the actual technical term I’m pretty sure. 😉 Tip: If the paper doesn’t pull of easily, just iron it for a few more seconds, let it cool, and try again.

Tip: Don’t just hold your iron in one place. Those little holes for steam won’t melt the glue, so you want to move your iron so you get good adhesion.

valentine banner-tutorialIf you want, you can add a ribbon to the middle. I used tulle, but ribbon or fabric would be cute too.
valentine banner-tutorialNow sit down, watch a chick flick, and make up a bunch of felt flowers that I showed you yesterday.

Here’s a close up:
