February means the saddest excuse for a holiday, is upon us. Valentines day. If your heart is as jaded as mine, then perhaps you will enjoy my craft project for this Make Monday. A little black heart pin for you or one of your mutually bitter single friends.
you’ll need:
- a saftey pin
- black felt
- scissors
- pins
- embrodery floss
- sewing needle
- stuffing
start by cutting two identical hearts out of felt.
pull the string though one heart
anchor the string with a knot
sew part of the safety pin to the heart, starting with the circle part
don’t bother cutting the string
pin the second piece of felt 
sew them together
before closing it, fill it with some stuffing
stitch it up and give it to someone you love, despite Valentines Day.

Ha, what a coincidence– I made one of these last month. Except it was red.These are so damn cool, though, that I think it’s time to buy some black felt…
