By Noreen 17 Comments

A heart pattern is one of the easiest patterns to make.

Fold a piece of paper in half and draw half a heart next to the fold.

Or a lot. Open the cut heart and re-cut one side.

Indent more or less.

Trace the finished heart onto cereal box cardboard to make a sturdy template.

If you want the cardboard heart to be the same size as the paper heart, cut just inside the traced line.

    Fun takes on the traditional heart shape. I like how you showed how to make the lower part wavey and whimsical.

    Do you sleep ever, seems like you’re always coming up with best ideas. Love your blog and what you make. I don’t have coke cans but do have some of art metal so might try to make some good hearts out of that. Love your little lights, so darned cute.
    Happy New Year Saving this tutorial, great.

    Popping over from Treasure Box Tuesday =) Great idea! I made hearts in picmonkey, printed them out on cardstock and used that as a template.

    I never thought about making a deeper cut once you unfold the paper. I know I will be doing that now. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

    This is an excellent tutorial. I bet it could be used for other shapes as well. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope to see you again next week. 🙂

    This is what I do. If I want a pattern to cut out of fabric I draw it on freezer paper. Then you iron it to the fabric and it adheres. Makes it easy to cut out without pinning. Then you just pull it off. It can be used over again quite a few times before it will no longer stick. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
    Jann
