• Make a small hole at the top of heart and insert a ribbon or string.
• Cut crepe or tissue paper into 2 x 2 inches / 5cm x 5 cm.
• Using the round end of the Japanese chopstick, twist a square of crepe paper around it and hold it. Some participants may prefer to use a pencil with eraser tip.
• Still holding it, dab a little glue on the crepe paper.
• Take it to the edge of smaller heart and gently release the chopstick. (See video).
• Continue doing this until all the edges of the center heart are complete.
• Then fill in the center of the heart by the same process.
• Repeat the above to fill the borders of the heart and then continue to fill in the other parts.
