Now I’m typing slowing for the hard of understanding... (Chris – can you hear me okay? x)
Materials
Card or paper (at least A4 – you can get 2 out of this size)
Sellotape or double sided tape
Thread
Staples, glue or double sided tape
How to
Cut the paper or card into 1” wide strips in the following lengths
1 of 11 ½”
1 x 9"
2 x 7 ½”
Lay 11 ½” strip down flat. Take thread, fold in half and tape to piece between 3” and 4” from one end.
Place 7 ½” piece 3” from end of strip
Place 9” strip on top
Carefully turn strips over and place remaining 9” piece at same 3” point. Staple (or glue or double sided tape) all strips.
Fold two strips down on each side and ensuring all ends meet, staple here too.
Viola!
More Ideas
Decorate each strip with sequins, glitter, buttons.
Make them bigger or smaller by using longer or shorter strips.
Add more strips.
Punch a hole in the area first stapled and thread ribbon through. This could then act as the securing strip enabling a bigger heart to be made by not limiting the first strip size to the length of A4. Like this.
Punch a hole in the area where the second staple is and thread a ribbon through or even beads.
