String these felt hearts together for whimsical decorations that you can hang outside or anywhere around your home.

You can even create a long chain to drape around door and window frames during the holidays.

Trace figure 2 heart pattern from PDF onto parchment paper with a pencil.
Transfer pattern and cut as many heart shapes as desired out of red felt.
Align one heart shape on top of another. Use a blanket stitch around the  outside edges to sew them together, leaving a 1-inch opening along one side.
Stuff with fiberfill.
Use a blanket stitch along the side to sew heart closed.
Thread needle with embroidery thread. Poke needle through one stuffed heart from top to bottom. Leave a length of thread and poke needle through the next stuffed heart.
Repeat until you have reached desired length. Secure with a knot at the  bottom of the last heart.
