I made it within 10 minutes:) The finished heart is about 8-1/2" - a good size for home decorations. This is also a great way to use some of the pretty paper we've been hoarding collecting. I used my favorite V Day collection of all time: With Love by Pebbles.
Cut paper to 4" x 12". This is the front of the paper I am using.
Step 1. On the back of the paper, score at 6" and make a small mark at 2" as shown:
Step 2. Flip paper, align the 2" mark and the bottom of the 6" score line we made in step 1 along the 4-1/4" line, score.
Step 3. Fold as shown.
Step 4. Mark the corners and fold back to form the heart shape.
Clip it to the twine and you are done! :) Have fun!
