i pencil sharpened them to death, and then pressed the shavings between pieces of waxed paper with an iron...
then i cut them into hearts...
then i sewed all of the hearts together...
and now they hang in the front window, casting funny shadows on the walls.
Love! This reminds me of school crafts, but yours look waaaay better than mine did. I love the hearts!
