2 . Fold the red construction paper and use your template to draw the half heart shape , then cut it out . You need 4 paper hearts to make one 3D heart .
3 . Glue a string down the middle of one of the hearts . Apply glue on half of that heart ( the one with the string ) and glue on another heart . Repeat . Now apply glue both on the last heart you glued on and on the other half of the first heart and glue on the last heart .
