    Now for the backbone of the card I cut out a rectangular sheet of paper and folded it in half.

    Step 7

    Stick the two ends of the spiral on the two sides of the card. When you are done, you should be able to close the card easily with the spiral closing within itself and not getting creased.
    For this you should first keep the spiral cutout on any one side of the card and glue any one end of it to that side. now close the card and see where the other end rests on the opposite side of the card; glue it right there.

    Glue the cut out hearts along the spiral. I glued three spare hearts on the card too.
