Yay for holidays! As we wrap up Christmas, we quickly move on to Valentine’s Day… actually, I couldn’t believe that BEFORE Christmas, our local Walmart had all of their Valentine’s Day candy out. That kinda made me sad, why must we rush the holidays? We’re decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving these days. Sigh.
Oh well, I have no say in retail {hee-hee}, but I do like to wait until after Christmas to start sharing some Valentine’s Day crafts. There’s no better time than the present, right? So, how about some super sweet and simple Handmade Heart Gift Tags?
I love having some crafting fun with felt and kraft paper — and they just happen to be the key supplies for today’s project. YAY! Remember my DIY Stitched Heart Valentine Tags?
Supplies for Heart Gift Tags:
Kraft Cardstock
Circle Punch
Red Felt
Scissors
Hole Punch
Glue or Glue Gun
Sewing Machine (or needle and thread)
Hemp Twine or Bakers Twine
(1) Make Circle Tags.
Cut or punch out your circles. I used the Fiskar Squeeze Circle Punch in X-Large (2″). You could also purchase 2″ Circle Kraft Tags.
(2) Cut Felt Hearts

Great post, love your adorable tags, so cute, easy to make.
Our HL had Christmas out already in June of last year, took up half the front part of store with all the “stuff” they had out. Seems I wasn’t only one thinking it was bit much and too early, heard other people commenting also.
I’m ready to make a few Valentine things. Found some I’d made last year, was pleasantly surprised at what I found. Maybe I’ll have to make some for gifts.
Happy days Kelly
