This mini heart cut-out wallet is the perfect size for your Valentine. Tuck a few chocolates inside, or a love letter. Personally, I like putting gift cards inside of these mini wallets for my kid’s teachers. They deserve nice Valentines for sure!  I use them as a business card holder, so they don’t get banged up in my purse. Or as a mini wallet when I’m going to an event or amusement park. The free sewing pattern come with SVGs for Cricut and PDFs for people who prefer to hand cut. 

This adorable heart wallet is a cinch to make. It sews up so fast that you’ll cut out another right away. Not into hearts? Check out the bee honeycomb design.

The free download includes SVG files for the Cricut, and PDF Sewing patterns for hand cutting. They also include full directions. Plus I have two video tutorials, one for materials that fray and one for materials like faux leather.  Download zip file from the Free Resource Library. 

The instructions below are for using your Cricut, but you can always cut these pieces by hand.  Three of the four pieces are rectangles and easy to cut with the included pattern pieces or with rotary cutter and ruler. The main body piece has lots of beautiful cut work, also called reverse applique. 

The rest of this post is about using materials that don’t fray, like faux leather. If you are using materials that fray, like quilters cotton, for any part of your wallet, head over to the bee wallet post and video. You can still make the heart design with other materials, but you will want to use the techniques in the Bee video.
