HOW TO
(1) Cut out heart and arrow templates. Trace these to the backside of the gold glitter and red foil cardboard. You will need six hearts and six arrows.
(2) Place three hearts and three arrows flat on your worktop with the backside facing up. Using the 450 glue, evenly place the glue on the backside of the heart or arrow. It is important to do one swizzle stick at a time as the glue sets quickly.
(3) Place the blunt end of the skewer halfway down the heart/arrow. For the heart make sure it is upside down with the point at the end of the stick. Now you can position the second heart/arrow on top of the first. With your fingers press the hearts/arrows together making sure they stick. NB: when you stick the arrows together with your fingers mould the sides of the arrow so they are raised as per images.
(4) To complete the arrow, with the scissors following the angle of the arrow cut halfway down the side of the arrow to create a fringe like effect. Once you have completed them you can go back and tidy up the hearts and arrows with a pair of fine scissors trim any backside (white) that is showing.
In all things beautiful,
