Repeat this in every other st along the entire triangle piece.
PUFFY HEART:
Take your felt and cut a heart any size you would like. Place it on the center of your bandana and with yarn (or thread) sew it in place. Before you sew the entire heart on, take a little bit of poly-fil stuffing and stuff some in there. Then continue closing up the heart.
