Heart-Shaped Crafts

Hi Friends,

Dazzle your beloved with hearts made from paper, wire or roses with these easy-to-follow projects.

Hearts That Shine

Materials and Tools:
origami or any smooth paper with a different color on each side
glue
tooling foil, 38 gauge
scissors (regular and pinking)
metallic-ink pens
ballpoint pen

Steps:

1. Cut the paper and fold it to form a square.

2. You can decorate the cover of the card or cut a heart in the center so that you can see the second color inside the card.

3. Cut out small tooling foil hearts. (Foil comes in a variety of colors — brass, silver, copper, red, blue and green, and it is easily cut with scissors.)

4. To emboss, press on the opposite side of the heart with a ballpoint pen. We made dots, spiral and hatch marks.

5. Glue the hearts to the paper.

6. Decorate the cards with metallic-ink pens.

Happy Valentine's Day!
