FELT VALENTINE ENVELOPES

Valentine's Day is all about telling the one's you love how much they mean to you. And what better way to do it than to "deliver" it in these cute little felt envelopes. Write a little note and stick it inside with some candy! How simple is that? And they are so darn cute! They can also be made in non-Valentine's Day colors for kid's pretend play!

Making these envelopes are so easy:

First, cut out the envelope base (magenta piece) from one color of felt. Cut a small rectangle out of white felt and a smaller heart out of a different color.

 

Using a sewing machine (I guess you could hot glue them instead), sew the small heart to the rectangle and then the rectangle to the upper right corner (where a stamp would sit) of the base piece.

 

After attaching the stamp, fold the base piece a third of the way up and stitch around the sides and bottom to form a pocket. You will now have an open envelope.

 

Flip over the envelope and stitch (or hot glue) a piece of Velcro to the flap and to the pouch side of the envelope (see below).

 

Now you have a finished envelope! Fill with some candy and a sweet note and it's all ready for the one you love!



 

Couldn't be any easier! You can make a bunch and create a Valentine's Day advent calendar or they would be a cute project for a child's Valentine swap at school! The possibilities are endless!
