Curled Heart

These hearts make great decorations, especially for Valentine's Day (all though this is a little late for that). They are simple, but neat looking, easy to make hearts.

Materials:
-String and needle
-Paper (I used both card stock and printer)
-Hot glue

1) Cut a strip of paper from your sheet, long ways.
2) Fold your strip in half
3) Starting at each end, roll up your paper until you get to the center, like this:
4) Put a dab of hot glue on the insides of the curls, to connect the two ends and make the heart shape. Make sure it is heart shaped (which should happen without having to shape it too much) and do your best to make the two sides even.
5) Once you have made as many as you want, pull your thread through the center of the bottom/point of each of your hearts, and again through the center of where you curls meet. Also, put a small dab of glue under each heart, so that they don't slide down to the bottom of your string.
