Craft idea - felt

Options
Hi, I’m not a crafter but I need an idea of what to do with felt. I have a small felt heart which is a keepsake. I want to put this in a photo box frame to display. I’m don’t want to use glue as I don’t want to damage it. Someone had suggested small Velcro sticky spots. Has anyone any other ideas?
Thanks!

    If it’s going onto a cardboard backing, could you use needle and thread to sew it on (almost as if it was a button but not through the top layer) 

    a single thread will be easier to remove than anything sticky.

    When bin ends of the thread are through the backing you can just tie it.

  • Thank you. I’ll maybe try that. Just worried that the card would look pulled at the back where the thread is.

    It would depend a bit how thick the backing card is when you try and push a needle through.

    alternatively you could sew the heart to a smaller square of card that would be hidden behind it and then carefully glue that piece of card onto the backing.  Making sure no glue escapes onto the heart ;) 

    The felt heart could still be snipped free from the thread attaching it, if you changed your mind at all.
