Fasten the thread and cut.

Wrapped thin wire (you can take a floral) with double-sided tape, and then with a white thread. Instead of tape, you can take a hot glue gun.

At the end of the wire bend a small loop – so the wire will sit denser in the heart.

Insert the wire into the heart. On the loop you can apply little glue.

For decoration tie a bow on the heart. You can decorate it with braid, polybutene, ribbons and so on.

Instead of wire, you can use a wooden stick.

Experiment with materials, colors and design:)

The heart is ready.

I give these hearts to my Teddy bears and cats.
