This sweet little Valentine’s Day craft kit is a great option for kids or adults who want to practice their hand-sewing skills. We used our Cricut cutting machine to cut our heavy cardstock into the heart-shaped lacing cards. If you do not have a cutting machine, you can simply trim the cards by hand and use a 1/8″ hole punch with the printable template download below. For best results, make sure the holes line up.
Choose your favorite heavy cardstock colors and coordinate them with a pretty yarn. Make sure your yarn is not too thick to go through the holes. We found that worsted or sports weight yarn works best and you can find a great selection of colors at Knit Picks.
I found that all of the designs here can be made with less than 4 yards of yarn, which easily wraps around the printed pattern card. Once you have picked your cardstock and yarn, gather the tools and the other materials below. Then follow the simple steps to create your heart lacing card Valentine craft kit that you can hand out to friends during craft night.
If you love this holiday, take a peek at our other Valentine’s Day projects on the site. We’ve got décor, cards, plants, and more for you to DIY. Also, if you have any suggestions for what we should make next, just comment below. Happy crafting! ~ Lia and team

Leave a CommentCan I use a silhoette to cut, instead of a cricut? I am new in this cutting machine thing.
Yes! We have a class for Silhouette users! You will love it. https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/a-crafters-guide-to-the-silhouette-cameo/
Good to know that it’s a do your own design. I almost re subscribed my membership to get the design directions on these cards. I can figure out my own but my not so crafty friends would have a hard time if I gave them the kit without the directions 😂. If it’s updated to include the design directions I’d love to know. Thank you for all your awesome craft ideas!,
This is actually a download where you can cut the hearts on the cutting machine. You can be a member for all of the files or I guess you can make up your own version. 😉
These are awesome! Really no need for directions. I mean… we didn’t need directions as kids when we did lacing cards! It’s not rocket science! (I laughed at the comment about no directions. 😄)
Indeed! Just have fun and get creative, right. 😉
I literally subscribed to find out how to sew these for an activity with about 40 ladies.. and you don’t even tell how to actually sew the designs?
Hi Bekah! This was designed for the Valentine recipient to create their own design. But we always take requests from members into consideration, so we’ll work on a design guide to add to the project download! Just give us a few days 🙂
Did this with my preschool teacher colleagues and we all loved it! Thanks!
So wonderful to get these printable.
So glad you like them Rosemary 🙂
