Felt Valentine Holders are quick to make with some basic sewing skills! These DIY felt Valentine pouch holders tie to the back of a chair and can be filled with Valentine’s cards, candy, or other treats.
All you need for these felt Valentine chair pockets is felt, ribbon, and a sewing machine.
(Technically you could sew these by hand, but they’re so much faster with a sewing machine.)
I made seven of these Valentine’s card holders (one for each member of my family). This is one of those crafts that I decided to do on a whim, and it actually turned out successfully!
I was amazed at the wonderful response these Valentine chair pockets received from my family.
DIY Felt Valentine Holders
- 8″ or 9″x 12″ craft felt sheets (like these) in whatever color you would like to use. I used a bright pink for the girls and red for the boys. You’ll need two sheets for each holder.
- Ribbon (it takes quite a bit if you’re making as many as I did (7) !
- Sewing machine and thread, or you can use embroidery floss or twine if you’d like to use the blanket stitch to bind the edges. This takes longer, so I used my sewing machine for all but one.
- Scissors
- Lace, buttons, or other embellishments
I used a straight stitch on my machine and sewed backward and forward several times to tack them in place.
Tie To Back of Chairs
After you finish making them, simply tie them to the back of your dining room chairs (or wherever else you’d like to tie them).
These have been so much fun. So much love and creativity has been shared because of these!
I have a pile of lovely cards my children made for me as well. My oldest daughter said “Let’s make the most for Mommy, because she deserves it.” So sweet!

I love using felt to make my own creation. I love what you’ve done, pinned and tweeted. Have a wonderful day!
Felt is so fun to work with! Thanks for sharing, Linda!
What a lovely idea Joy and you made 7 of them. WoW!! And your daughter is just too sweet, getting everyone to make extra notes for Mom. She’s right, you do deserve it.
Thank you, Michelle! They’re super easy to make!
Joy, these are so adorable!! I had so many wonderful plans for this week, but then we all got hit with the flu. 🙁 I will definitely file this away for next year though! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Angela! Oh, I feel for you with getting the flu…we got it the week of Christmas, and it prevented a lot of fun things I had planned, too. I hope you're feeling better!
Adorable! Many of our children sit on a bench, but this is a GREAT idea!
I've always wanted a bench! 🙂 You could still use this idea and tie the bags to something else. Or, make a different kind of handle, and hang it on hooks or something maybe. Thanks so much for your comment, Cheryl!
