Cut each felt piece in thirds length wise with pinking sheers. (the zig zag sissors) Sew a button on the top middle of each peice.
Fold about 1/3 of the felt on itself. With the button on top. Sew the sides with a zig zag stitch. (I back stitched all of the ends because a zig zag stitch isn't strong.)
Cut the top of the pouch with pinking sheers like an envelope. Stuff the pouch with goodies. Attach a tag to the button. (I had Alexis write all the kids names and her name on each tag before she went to bed. I put the tag on before I closed them so the tag wouldn't come loose.)
Cut little hearts out of a different color. Cut a slit in the middle of the heart and the top part of the pouch for the button to fit in. The blog I saw had sewn button holes on the pouch and the heart. It wasn't necessary. Felt is so thick.)
The finished product. 34 in all and I'd do it again.
