valentine's day decoration...

last night i was feeling inspired to decorate for valentine's day, and i recently saw a craft on pinterest that involved making felt hearts.  i pulled out my craft box and got creative. 

i went through my fabric and felt and decided to go with a non traditional valentine's day color pallet of blue and yellow.  then i cut out hearts, stitched them together with gray yarn and stuffed them with cotton balls.  when i had 15 hearts completed in various sizes and shapes, i strung them together with black thread and hung them on a branch.

items needed:

fabric and felt swatches in color pallet of your choice
scissors
yarn & needle
cotton balls
thread
branch

this craft took me about 3 - 3 1/2 hours and it makes a fun valentine's day decoration, mobile or gift.
