If you need to catch up on this project, here’s part one and part two 
I’ve been making candy sweethearts out of felt – hey, they’re calorie free that way! To finish the project, lay the heart on a sheet of the same colored felt, but don’t cut it out quite yet. Using a straight stitch, sew around the edges (I used a 1/8″ seam allowance). Okay, now you can cut them out! Sewing them on a larger sheet of felt makes it easier to prevent the felt pucking or getting pulled out of shape. Trim the loose threads.
I decided to use five of the hearts to make a little mini garland and to leave one as an ornament. I used a length of rat tail cord and a darning needle to string the hearts. I just used a loop of the same cord to finish off the ornaments.
So there you go – candy sweethearts with no calories!
I need a row of these for my booth.
That would look so cute Karen!
