⇒ Step 2. Make a small cut in the upper part of the figure, slightly bend the edges inward. Apply a small amount of PVA glue to the edges.
⇒ Step 3. Using your fingers, grab the edges with glue and press them well together on the back side of the heart.
⇒ Step 4. Hold the glued edges for a couple of minutes.
⇒ Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining hearts.
Hearts can be glued to the sheet firstcardboard, and then hang the composition on the wall. Or attach directly to the wall using double-sided tape. If the convex shape of the heart prevents you from securely attaching it to the wall, stick a corner of paper on the inside, like this:

Hearts in the form of boxes
How do you like these hearts made in the formboxes? This technique can be used to make holiday wrapping for a small gift. However, even as an original craft, such hearts look very interesting, reminiscent of pixel art.
Necessary materials and tools:
- thick paper (for gift wrapping - cardboard);
- scissors;
- Ruler.
⇒ Step 1. Print or draw the template onto paper.
⇒ Step 2: Cut it out with scissors or a utility knife (X-Acto knife). Fold over areas to be glued. To make it more convenient to bend thick paper, help yourself with a ruler.
⇒ Step 3. Bend the main part of the heart along the lines, helping with a ruler. Fold the figure into one whole. Apply a thin layer of glue to the corresponding protrusions and glue the heart together.
If you are making a box, then bend the protrusions for gluing inside the box, and you can attach a tab to the side of the “lid” to easily open it.
