Description

This took a while, but its cute, and well worth it :)

Instructions

  1. Small dsci0420 1301627832

    You will need all of the following you see in the picture. I forgot to put tape in the picture haha, you'll be needing that :)

  2. Small dsci0422 1301627926

    next, take some music paper, you can make your own.. and draw some random music notes!

  3. Small dsci0423 1301627939

    Take the cover of a magazine, draw a heart and cut it out. This will be your tracing heart you'll be needing later...

  4. Small dsci0425 1301627979

    Now on your music sheet, trace 21 hearts.

  5. Small dsci0427 1301628045

    And cut them out...

  6. Small dsci0429 1301628119

    Now do the same exact thing with magazine paper. You will also need to cut out 21 hearts.

  7. Small dsci0431 1301628175

    Here they are!! :)

  8. Small dsci0432 1301628147

    now take two pages from a magazine, and something equivalent to a chopstick.

  9. Small dsci0433 1301628308

    Roll the pages up!

  10. Small dsci0435 1301628308

    And tape it in place. remove the chopstick.

  11. Small dsci0436 1301628321

    Do the same thing to the second page.

  12. Small dsci0438 1301628330

    Now take thread and tape it to either a magazine heart or a music heart.

  13. Small dsci0439 1301628399

    You'll also have the thread taped to the rolled up magazine page.

  14. Small dsci0440 1301628426

    Then, with the thread taped on one heart, attach the other heart. you should have a two sided heart. One of the music, and one of the magazine.

  15. Small dsci0443 1301628498

    It will look like this :)

  16. Small dsci0444 1301628479

    I taped it to a piano stool to show the layout. You should have two short strings on the ends with two hearts. Then the string next to it will be slightly longer, having three hearts. Finally, the middle string with be the longest and also have three hearts.

  17. Small dsci0445 1301628545

    Connect the two rolled up pages of magazines in a criss cross fashion and on the second one, you should have two strings on each side. Having two hearts on each. Again the outer strings will be shortest.

  18. Small dsci0446 1301628626

    So there should be five strings on one magazine stick and four on the other. attach a string on the top and hang it up. I hope this wasn't too difficult to understand. But it's really cute, and I hope you enjoy. :)
