  • Now cut along those two lines.
  • Fold it out and you should have a heart inside a circle! Magic!
  • Now express yourself: paint it, colour it, crayon it, you could even glitter it!
  • Punch a hole in the top and loop the pipe cleaner through to create a hanger for your gorgeous Valentine’s artwork.
  • Give it to Mum. Go on, you know you want to.
