pretty easy valentine

These days, easy is ultimately what I'm looking for when it comes to crafts and it doesn't get much easier than these simple stamped fabric Valentines.

Here's how you can make one (or a dozen) too:

♥ Cut a heart shape out of paper to create your pattern. If you're no good with freehand cutting, I made a PDF pattern for you that you can download here:

♥ Pin the paper pattern to any fabric of your choice (I used linen).

♥ Stamp out your message with ink and letter stamps.

What will you do with your so-easy-it-should-be-a-crime fabric Valentines? I think I'm going to add mine to a the paper Happy Valentine's Day garland that I made for our mantel and then make a bunch more to send out to friends and family. ♥
