What to Do With All Your
Practice Hearts


One of the sweetest parts of every Feltie Kit is the Practice Heart. Each one comes in a surprise color, so if you’ve made a few kits, you might just end up with a rainbow of squishy little hearts!  And while they’re perfect for practicing your felting skills, we love that they turn into keepsakes you can actually use.

Here are some of our favorite ways to turn your practice hearts into something beautiful (and maybe even a little sentimental):

Pop them in a jar or bowl

Tuck your hearts into a clear jar or a pretty bowl for instant decor. They look so sweet on a shelf, desk, or nightstand—and every time you see them, you’ll be reminded of all the cute Felties you’ve made.

Make a heart garland

String your hearts together with twine or ribbon to create the most darling garland. Hang it above your craft space, in a kiddo’s room, or even across your mantel for a cheerful pop of color.

Turn them into ornaments

Just add a loop of ribbon, and you’ve got yourself the cutest little ornament. These are perfect for the holidays, Valentine’s Day, or honestly… just to hang anywhere you need a little extra love.

Add to a gift

Tie a heart onto a wrapped present or gift bag for a handmade touch that feels oh-so thoughtful. It’s like a little love note in 3D form.

Share them as tiny tokens

Slip one into a lunch bag, leave one on a pillow, or surprise a friend with a colorful heart on their desk. Pair it with a sweet message, and you’ve just made someone’s day.

At the end of the day, your practice hearts are more than just a warm-up, they’re tiny treasures full of love, creativity, and happy little memories.

We’d love to see what you do with yours! Share your rainbow of practice hearts with us at @FeltieKits, it seriously makes our hearts skip a beat every time we see your creations.
