  4. Put a heart at the bottom of the strip and mark at its top, as shown in picture 7.

  5. Mark at intervals of 1cm, eight times, because you have eight hearts, pictures 8 and 9.

  6. Fold and make a crease at all the intervals horizontally, picture 10.

  7. Paste each heart in each interval (only the curved part), picture 11.

  8. Keep pasting the hearts until you reach at the end, fold the remaining strip behind, pictures 12 and 13.

  9. Cut another 4-inch long and 1cm wide strip from the black paper, picture 14.
