Supplies You’ll Need:
- Red Felt
- Fiber Fill
- Warm Glue Gun and glue sticks
- Pastel-colored paper cups
- Foam conversation heart stickers
To make my plush hearts for ammunition,
- Cut hearts out of red felt – 3 pairs of felt hearts
- *I didn’t worry about measuring. I aimed for hearts that would fit easily in little hands, but large enough to knock paper cups down.
- *I varied the sizes – They ended up being about 3 inches wide at the top and about 3 or 4 inches tall
- Use the glue gun to glue the pairs together 3/4 of the way around, leaving a space unglued to push the stuffing into. Let the glue set for a few minutes
- Then, stuff the hearts in the little space you left open with Fiberfill, and glue them the rest of the way around
To make the cups,
- Tip the cups over facing upside down and stick the foam stickers to each one
- Done!
When you’re ready,
- Stack the cups up and knock them down with the little plush hearts!
