Wow its so pretty
I used up all my red and pink leftover yarn to make a few of these hearts. I added a handle to them and they turned out very cute. My kids stuffed these pouches with Valentine’s Day chocolates and tied a gift tag to the handles. Tomorrow they will pass them out to their friends in their Sunday School class.
Very Cute! Very Simple! THANKS! Kath
I made 40 of these for our senios citisens group and passed them out today at our Valentine’s Party. I filled them with candy. I also added a loop at the top of the heart so they can hang them on a hook. They were a really big hit!!!!! Thank you for your really unique crafts and ideas in your magasine. I tell people about Country Woman magasine.
Sincerely,
