The felt returns. Are you excited as I am?!! Over the Christmas holidays, I had a full week of nothing but felt crafts and I kind of fell in love with felt (Ornaments, Tree Wall Hanging, Snowflake Mittens). So I decided to pull out my stash for the love holiday and make a cute Fringed Felt Heart, perfect for the upcoming Valentine’s Day!

How to make a fringe felt banner
I think the game changer for me and felt was the color options. Most craft stores carry Crayola vibrant colors and not much else. So when I stumbled upon Craft Wool Felt on Etsy, I was smitten instantly!
You could easily use a spare piece of cardboard, but I had an empty box of cereal (Yes, I can already hear the comments coming. I know, my kids are lucky I let them eat delicious Golden Grahams) on hand and it was the perfect thickness for this project.
Cut up your cereal box in the shape you desire. I made a heart and it was so quick, I also made two diamonds later. Using your gorgeous ruler (I swear #officesuppliesaremycrack), mark off your basic widths for each color of felt.
Next, cut the strips of felt and fringe away. And finally, using a glue gun, start at the bottom and slowly adhere the felt to your shape.
When you are done, you will be left with a non-descript felt blob. Simply, turn over your shape and cut the felt down per the cardboard edges.
What did I tell you? Are these not the cutest Fringed Felt hearts and diamonds you’ve ever seen?
My daughter is waiting so patiently to hang them in her room, but I’m afraid I might need to lay claim to them first!
Thank you for this idea! I have some felt out, but will make it another day soon. I used your idea and create md a hanging heart using a natural tan ribbon with pale pink lace on each end. I matched up the lace scallops for each strip of lace. I hung it with twine. It turned out so pretty. Thank you for sharing!
Oh it sounds so lovely, Julie!! Thanks for letting me know. 😉
I’m going to combine your project along with another project I did for Valentine’s Day to create a St. Patty’s project. The other V-Day project was a heart felt tree. They turned out gorgeous. I made a tall pale pink and shorter trees in hot pink and white for a total of three trees each topped with a shimmery heart. They were used as the centerpiece for a Valentine’s Tea I hosted for my in-laws. Now, I want to use your felt fringe idea to create a rainbow cone tree. I could use circles, but I’m thinking the fringed strips will look great (as long as I can get the top of the tree nice and neat). I’m starting soon, so if you have any suggestions or other ideas, please let me know.
So fun, Julie! I love your creativity. I made this Valentine’s Day fringe tree a while back but it might be helpful as I did strips of fringe on it. https://www.delineateyourdwelling.com/2014/01/valentines-day-fabric-tree.html
