DIY Heart Ornament for Valentine's Day

Hello, and welcome! Here is a fun idea with multiple possibilities - you can use it to decorate your home for Valentine's day, you can make it as a gift or party favor, or you can even use it as a gift tag:  

It all started with this punched wood pieced shaped as a heart, from a set I bought years ago on Amazon:

Wood Shapes for
Counted Cross Stitch

Instead of full cross stitch, I opted to fill in the heart with just a half stitch. I used some leftover yarn I had around and it was too bulky for the full cross stitch: 

 When all the stitches were done, I glued the back of the heart to a bit of felt in a matching color... 

...adding a bit of lace all-around and a folded piece of ribbon at the top for hanging: 

Then I just needed to trim the felt to shape in the back of the heart:

I could have just left it there, but finally decided to add a small resin flower to embellish the heart:

And that's it: one very cute Valentine's day ornament finished in next to nothing (and with materials I already had at home)!

Have fun and Happy Tuesday,
