- Start by drawing one half of a large heart shape and one half of a small heart shape! on the piece of white paper. Cut out each shape and set them aside. You now have a hassle-free heart template OR use our free template!
- Fold a piece of colored paper in half as if you are making a card!
- Place the large half heart shape on the center fold of the paper and trace around it with your marker or pencil. I like to use a different color than what I use for the small hearts
- ut along the line you just created. You should be able to open the colored piece up and see a full heart now!
- Using another color of construction paper, trace the smaller half of a heart and cut it out. This should create another full heart once you unfold it. Repeat this until you have five small hearts!
- Glue one-half of a small heart to the corresponding side of the larger heart. Then, glue the other side to another small heart. Attach all of the small hearts to create a little fan in the center of the larger heart.
