Seriously, all you need is some paper plates, scissors, a hole punch and some yarn and you are all set to make this simple heart sewing craft.

    Your projects are wonderful! I was just wondering what brand of yarn did you use on this project? The colors are perfect.

      Thank you so much Sharlene! I love using the multi-colored yarns on projects like this! This particular one is Red Heart brand and I think it’s called Fruit Punch. Here’s a link to it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2iHSzwl (affiliate) for reference but I usually purchase it at Walmart.

    How did you cut out the heart and what kind of plates?

      Hi Erin! The red and pink paper plates I used were smaller plates, more of a dessert size plate about 7-inches diameter. I found mine at Target. Any size paper plate will work though. After I traced a heart onto the center of the plate, I slightly bent the middle of the plate so that I could make a cut with my scissors. Then I put my scissors in the slit and was able to cut out the heart. You could also make a slit with a craft knife first. I hope this is helpful!

    Just wondering what length should the yarn be cut to?
    Thanks!

      Hi Kathie! Unfortunately I didn’t measure the actual length that we used. I’m sorry! I’m going to guess that about 40-48 inches will be plenty.

    Where do you find a large enough hole punch; mine won’t reach very far inside the plate?😩

      Hi Karen! What you have to do is cut the heart out of the inside of the paper plate first. Then you punch your holes from inside the heart, not from the outside rim of the plate. I hope this makes sense. To cut the heart out, I bent the paper plate slightly in the middle to make a cut and then put my scissors through that slit to cut out the outline of the heart in the center of the plate. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

        So clever to cut the heart out first. I never thought of that! LOL!

    Do you have to use a yarn needle, or would say the hole punches would be large enough? I’m looking for crafts for my daughters 1st grade class to do. 🙂

      Instead of using a needle I would suggest wrapping the very end of the yarn with a piece of masking tape. This will make it sturdy so the ends of the yarn won’t fray. I am doing this with my daughter’s class too for Valentine’s Day. 🙂

        what age is this better suited for? I have 6,7,8yo. and would probably have to punch the holes and cut the wool. How many stands of wool are used?

          I think it’s perfectly suited for elementary-age children. I made this with my daughter’s Kindergarten class and some did have some trouble with it but they were able to manage with some assistance.

    This looks great. I’m going to try it tomorrow for my son’s first grade! Plates have been pre-cut, holes pre-punched and yarn will be pre-measured. Hope it’s a success!!
