I have become obsessed with arrows. I don't know what it is, I just love them! If you missed my DIY love shirt {with arrows} you can see it here. As a follow up to that, I decided to take some dowels that I had in my craft supply box and used some supplies I had on hand to create these felt and washi heart arrows.
I started by painting my dowels white.
I had all of this washi tape on hand. I've been hoarding it for awhile and just now I am finally getting around to using it. I used it to make these Dr. Seuss night lights and it was perfect for decorating these dowels.
Once I decorated the dowels, I cut out pieces of felt. You will need two heart shaped arrows for each dowel and one long rectangle.
I used my hot glue gun and put a long strip of glue down the center of the rectangle. I laid the dowel about two inches into the felt and folded the felt on top.
Then I used my scissors to cut the angles into the felt at the base and the "feathers" into the edges.
I used hot glue to glue to heart arrow tips on and pressed the two pieces together to close them.
I made all six of these arrows in under an hour.
I love how they turned out. They would make great party favors!
