Instructions:
Cut a variety of heart shapes out of tissue paper. In a small container, mix one part glue with one part water. Use a paint blush and spread glue on a piece of construction paper. Arrange the tissue paper hearts on the glue as desired. Make the hearts overlap each other! Add the glue and hearts to a small section of the paper at a time.

Once your hearts are placed on the glue, add a thin coating of glue as needed so the hearts are completely covered. When done, set aside and let the glue dry.

When the glue is dry, cut the white paper around the hearts. Leave about 1/4-inch of white showing around the edges. Mount your picture on black, pink, or purple paper.
