tracing.

While the heart is drying, make the stuffing for your heart by tearing
Kleenex into strips and crumpling them gently.

When the heart is dry, gently push the shredded Kleenex between the boxboard
and fabric heart. Add enough stuffing so your heart looks puffy.

To decorate your heart use your imagination. Beads, artificial flowers,
ribbon and lace all add something special to this craft.

To finish, glue your last fabric heart onto the back of the boxboard.

Pin a little note on the puffy heart for your valentine. |
