What kind of hearts are you looking for?We are looking for hearts of all types, as long as they are homemade and with love, we are happy to accept them. The only thing we ask is that you don't use dark colors like browns/blacks... we want to keep the theme upbeat and happy. Some of our volunteers use wood, foam, quilting and some use yarn to make crocheted or knitted hearts, there is a pattern to make yarn wrap hearts, if you are unable to crochet or knit, there is a pattern that has been provided which allows you to 'wrap' yarn around a cardboard (can use things like diaper boxes to cut out of). The link is located here: http://www.uber-craft.com/home/2012/2/9/yarn-wrapped-heart-valentines.html

~We are hoping to get people talking about these issues.
~We would like to show people that their life is worth living and that every life matters.
~We want to help end the stigma that is often associated with suicide.
We also accept any handcrafted heart of any medium. Sewn, foam, wood, whatever you can dream up. The idea is to send hope with a heart attached, therefore, as long as the hearts meets the required size 2-3 inches... anything will work. Please remember to leave a hole punch to attach a ribbon for hanging.
