I had some stiffened felt left over from this box project, so I cut out some quick, freehand hearts with an X-acto knife.
Geometric shapes are trendy right now. So are ubiquitous chevron patterns, but polka dots are going to overtake those zig zags soon, mark my words.
But back to the felt. E-Z Felt is stiff and sturdy, and about $2 a sheet at my local craft store. It's very forgiving to cut, since any slices that accidentally overshoot the corners of a cutout won't show.
Stringing these hearts on twine is easy since they're full of holes. Really big hearts could be used as trivets or coasters, too.
