  Step 1

  Aluminum flashing (any hardware store)
  Serrated edge scissors
  Glaze Coat (2 part epoxy resin)
  18 gage wire
  Flat plastic (top of a takeout container will work)
  Aleene's Tacky Glue
  Jewelry pieces
  E-6000 Glue
  Clothespins
  Needle nose pliers
  Book pages or music sheets
  Latex gloves, plastic cups and stir sticks
  Chain to hang your hearts (www.ChainGallery.com)

  Step 2

  Cut 3/8" wide strips of aluminum flashing with serrated edge scissors
  (I got serrated scissors in the kitchen department at the dollar store)
  Bend into a heart shape
  Glue the edges together with E-6000 and then clamp with a clothespin until dry
  Trace the metal heart on a thin sheet of clear plastic
  *I use the tops of takeout containers
  Cut out and glue the metal heart to the plastic using Aleene's Tacky Glue
  Add more glue around the outside edges so that it's air tight

  Step 4

  When dry, cut out book page hearts and fill with beads and jewelry pieces
  Mix equal parts of Glaze Coat and stir for a few minutes
  Fill the hearts and pop the bubbles with a long arm lighter
  Let dry overnight in an unoccupied part of the house or outside under a box
  Create "S" hooks with heavy gage wire and glue on the back with E-6000
  When dry, hang from a chain
