Remembering a project I made many years ago, I decided to make one on my own. Here's what I did (click on a photo to enlarge):
Using my husband's help, we shaped a heart out of a wire hanger. It's the only wire hanger in the house, so only one chance to get it right!
I then cut fabric about 8 inches tall (folded in half makes it four inches tall), and cut it in 3 inch wide strips.
I then looped these strips around the wire heart.
Here's how to loop through:
I then cut two more colors of fabric at the same height but I did each strip at 2 inches wide.
And two more colors at 1 inch wide:
Using the same looping method, I put these strips in an order around the heart. I really had to tug and pull to get the last few strips to fit, but I like how fluffy and tight it looks!
I looped one last strand through the inward peak at the top and tied a knot so that I would have a way to hang it on the door. If there was any more room, I'd have added even more colors!

That's super cute, Anna! I don't have the time/patience for it this Valentine's... but I think it would be a fun craft to do with an older child as well, since cutting and looping fabric isn't too complicated. :) Maybe we will do it next year. Thanks!
