How to make your stuffed

Valentine's Hearts:

1. Gather all your materials

2. Choose a piece of stock paper that you want to make your hearts out of.

3. Depending on how big or small you want your hearts to be you may have to cut your paper in half like I did.

4. Once cut, slip each folded have into each other. This will give you the two sides you need to stuff your hearts.

5. Draw half a shaped heart as in the picture and cut your hearts out.
6. Place your hearts flat and hole punch a hole in the middle where you'll put your string through.

7. Next get your glue or any form of sticky tape (I use one for scrap booking) and put glue around the edges of one side of your heart. Make sure to leave a little room without glue to stuff your heart.

8. Once you have your glue around the edges, get your other side of your heart and press them together. Again make sure you leave a space without glue open to put your tissue paper through.

9. Tear small pieces of tissue paper and make into balls. Stuff your hearts with the tissue paper using the opening you didn't put glue on. Once finished glue the part closed. Get your string and cut as long or short as you want. Feed through the punched hole you made earlier and tie a knot.

10. Hang all your stuffed hearts on your Valentine's Tree and the finished product will look like this!

You can also add other items to your tree as I did by simply cutting out hearts and stringing them. You can also put pink glittered pines cones to added a flare to your tree. The skies the limit!
