INSTRUCTIONS:
Trace out two heart shapes and set aside. Cut strips of cardboard about 1/2 to an inch or so in thickness and set aside. Heat up your glue gun. Once glue is hot enough take one of your heart shapes cardboard side down (image facing you) and start glueing one of your strips down a few centimeters in around your heart shape. ( it is best to start from the top middle of your heart and work your way around. Once you have the strip fully around your heart shape so the same thing to your second heart cut out only this time glue the strip further into this heart shape so it can fit into its partner shape to give you a box effect. Once you have all your pieces together and dried you can start decorating it and filling it with sweetness!
