1. Prepare the template

Print a heart shape on paper and cut it out. Naturally, you can opt for another shape as well. Lay the heart on the felt and cut out two identical pieces.

2. Get imaginative with needle and thread

Now you can embellish a felt heart to your liking. Consider a pattern in advance and sketch it on the felt with a pencil. You may also utilize water-soluble embroidery designs. Tailor your heart according to your vision. It appears especially lovely when you mix various embroidery stitches.

3. Join the felt hearts

Place the second felt heart on the back of the embroidered heart and link both with backstitching around the edges. If desired, you could maintain a 4-5cm gap at the top for inserting the manila label later.

4. Finalize the reusable felt gift tag

At last, write the name on the label, thread a loop through the hole, and conceal it within the felt heart. Alternatively, you might simply attach the Manila label to the heart with a loop. And your reusable felt gift tag is prepared! The Manila label can be changed annually, allowing the pendant to travel from gift to gift, narrating a new tale each time.

Tip: Embroidery enthusiasts can stitch the heart with the recipient’s name.

The reusable felt gift tag is a minor project with a significant effect to offer a cherished gift to someone special. And the best part is: The pendant not only enhances gifts but also looks charming on bags and wallets! Enjoy recreating it!
