Corrugated Cardboard (cardboard box)

Do you see how corrugated cardboard has holes inside of it?  Remember this because you will be using these holes later.

Step 2

Step 3

Cut heart out.

Like this.

 

Step 4

Cut our red paper hearts a bit bigger than the cardboard heart.  Glue them on.

 

Step 5

Cut out different sized hearts.  Tape to pipe cleaners… cut to different sizes.

 

Step 6

Cut a piece of cardboard about the width of the heart vase.

 

Step 7

Cover cardboard with red paper.  Cut slot in center of board.

 

Step 8

Stick heart flowers into holes in heart vase.  This is where those holes in step 1 get used.  Stick heart vase into cardboard rectangle’s slot.

If heart vase doesn’t stand on own you can reinforce it like this…. Cut a strip of cardboard and bend it and tape to back of red heart and bottom of rectangle board.
