I am jumping on the Valentine’s bandwagon with this sweet little heart pocket, a traditional Scandinavian craft.

I’ll show you a magazine page and fabric scrap version, but you could also greeting cards to make these pockets to hang on a Christmas tree, too.

I’ve drawn up a pattern in the hopes you can print it out in its full size, to save you a bit of work drafting your own.

Start by finding magazine pages full of the colours you want:

Cut the pattern out of two contrasting page colours, folded in half:

For the technique, see the fabric version below.

Cut two 3″x11″ strips of contrasting fabric. 

Glue strips to heavy-weight paper with iron-on fusible web or glue.

Fold the strips in half, then cut the pattern from them, including the slits as marked on the pattern.

Weave as in the photographs:

Glue on a hanger or embellishments, fill with treats or flowers, and hang on a tree/mantle/w.h.y.
