camera straps, photography inspiration

valentine treat pillow pocket

February 12, 2012

Felt is my friend. Whenever I’m looking for a quick and easy way to create something it tends to be one of the first things that I reach for. It’s easy to work with, and I don’t have to worry about finishing any edges. It’s also a pretty sturdy material to work with {and not too pricey, either! Always a PLUS.}

It was so fun to put these treat pockets together for our boys for Valentine’s Day! I’ll be making a few other treats on the side that won’t fit into the pockets – I’ll have to post photos of the red velvet cake balls, sugar cookie cutouts and rum truffles that I’ll be dipping!

The finished size for these is roughly 5″x7″ – but you could make them any size that works for you!

Cut a piece of felt that’s roughly 7″x10.5″

 

Fold the edges inward and overlap in the center:

Open the pocket, and keep the folds marked. Cut two hearts out grade school style {fold felt in half and cut, then open} and layer in the middle.

Stitch up the middle of the layered hearts:

Fold. Overlapping the felt in the back:

Here’s a better photo of the overlap:

Stitch along the outer edges:

Stuff with treats:

Ready to surprise the boys for Valentine’s!

    […] We had lots of treats around here, especially since I filled a treat pillow pocket for each of them. I need to snap a photo of the second pocket. I did a blue one with red and white […]
