I saw new Valentine Chair Backers which I thought were too cute looking like an envelop and all. I thought they would be simple enough to make, so I tried. I made them for my daughter's class and since they are only small toddlers I thought it would be okay to try going very simple with the project. I planned on the kids decorating them so I just used some felt for the the envelop and practiced my stitching. I want to make things when I practice instead of just using scraps and not seeing anything in return to know how it will really look.
All I did was cut felt and sewed it all together. I put some velcro for the strips to connect to the back of the envelop and attach over the chair. I measured the chairs in the classroom to get the sizing right.
I used:
2 pieces of 12 x 9
1 piece trianglar that was 12w x 4.5h (7.5 on sides)
2 strips of 13 x 1.5w
I just sewed all of the edges with a very simple stitch, and went back with sharp sizzors to clean up the edges. The felt harts and letters were packets that I could buy all different.
