Step by Step

  1. First you will need 2 sheets of construction paper. For this we used a dark and a light blue sheet.

  2. Measure and cut 1.5 inches wide strips (3.5cm) down the page.

  3. Cut these lengths into 2 x 4 inches (10cm) dark blue, 2 x 6 inches (15cm) light blue, 2 x 8 inches (20cm) dark blue (you should be able to get these strips from the leftover on the 4 inch strips), 2 x 12 inch (25cm) dark blue

  4. line them up as shown below, in size order so they step down to the center and then up again.

  5. Then stack them on top of one another in the same order for the 2 shortest are on top (facing up) in 2 piles

  6. Lastly bring these 2 piles together so that the longest to are together and the shortest 2 are on the outer sides of the pile

step 6

7. Staple all the pieces together at the bottom, where all their lengths meet.

8. Then bring same length pieces down to meet each other to form the 'heart' shape and staple together until all the hearts are formed

Hang this from a tree, hand it to someone you care about or appreciate or make more of them and join them together to make a garland of hearts.
