BUNCH
YOU’LL NEED:
'o hearts
2 Pink 30cm strips of card (or longer if you want a bigger frame) 12-24 strips of paper in different lengths for filler hearts Stapler PVA glue Paintbrush 30cm piece of ribbon
WHAT TO DO: 1. Start by stacking the two strips of card on top of each other and stapling together at the very bottom with a horizontal staple. (Prior to this first staple, put a piece of ribbon between the strips of card and staple all three bits together. I forgot to do this!) 2. Now open the bits of card outward and curve them down and together to form the bottom point of the heart. Secure with a horizontal staple. (The ribbon should be dangling out from the top of the heart.) 3. With the other assorted lengths of strips make more hearts by folding the strip in half, making a crease for the inside V of the heart, and curve the strips out and down to make the bottom point of the heart. Secure with a horizontal staple. (If your hearts are all ending up the same size, put the staple up higher and snip off the excess paper.)

4. Pour some PVA glue into a plastic cup and use a paintbrush to apply glue onto the outside of the small hearts wherever they touch another side. 5. Once your hearts frame is full, if there are still some small gaps, we made curls out of strips of paper to fill the holes. 6. Hang your heart and feel the love! 108
