• Cut a heart out of paper and use a marker to draw dots along its outline on the wood.
  • Hammer short nails into the dots.
  • Wrap the first piece of wire around a nail and secure it with a knot.
  • Now move back and forth in a zigzag pattern—from side to side, from top to bottom, and so on.
  • Until you've used up all the nails.
  • Cut the thread generously and tie a knot around a small nail.
  • Cut the thread short and, if necessary, put a drop of glue on the knot.
  • Cut a heart out of cardboard.
  • Secure the end of the Flaxcord or string to the heart with tape.
  • Place the Flaxcord or string over the heart. Repeat this several times, moving the Flaxcord or string as you go to completely cover the cardboard along the edges.
  • Thread the last piece of string through the center at the top of the heart and tie a knot.
