Step 4
Apply a good layer of glue on the back side of the heart…
… and place it on the middle of the folded paper.
Step 5
Take the toothpick and use it to paint with black paint the eyes and the mouth on the Heart.
We use a toothpick because with it we can make more thin traces and it will give us accuracy.
Now draw the hands with black paint on the heart.
Step 6
Apply a good layer of glue on the back side of the hat…
… and place it on one hand of the heart.
Step 7
Write with red “Be my Valentine”.
How could someone resist this cute heart?
