Make this cute Valentine's Day decoration to hang in your home or classroom! It's an easy project sure to last for the years to come. Children love creating their own yarn hearts and each one is truly one of a kind!
You can find more photos and the whole tutorial at Timeout with Mom: http://www.timeoutwithmom.com/2017/01/floating-heart-mobile.html
What you need:
Begin by wrapping the embroidery hoop with twine. I wrapped mine a little tight, but not too tight to where I couldn’t move it from side to side. Seal the end with a glue gun for a smooth finish.
Wrap the yarn around the heart shape, moving in different directions. Continue wrapping until you have covered enough of the open areas. Tie it off when you’re done and tuck the remainder under the strands of yarn. You can use the tip of your scissors, if needed.

I like how this project came out. I will make it just to see how I do. Love the little hearts. I want to make some little hearts to put into a fancy glass jar for Valentines Day.
