Fold aluminum into long strips & make into hearts.
You'll need 1 cup flour, 1 cup water, 2tbsp acrylic paint.
Mix together.
Make brains! I mean get your hands dirty make sure all the twine is covered.
Wipe off excess mix off the twine.
Bake at 200 for 1 hr.
Turn off the stove after an hour and wait an hour before pulling the hearts out.
Remove the aluminum & work original plain twine through hearts.
Hang your hearts!
Things I wish I would've known before this: This crap gets everywhere. Make sure do it on a table with some plastic down. And thank goodness I had Allix wear an apron. Everything is pretty easy to clean, I would just make sure to clean it sooner than later. The more defined the heart shape the better. Also leave the twine more billowing than smushed in there. It might also be better to use shorter lengths of twine and put multiple in one heart.
Saying that. Allix loved making this craft. She got to get her hands dirty, wasted some time, taught her about measurements and it ended up pretty darn cute.
Thanks Pinterest for the idea!! This is the original link:http://www.weknowstuff.us.com/we-know-stuff/2012/01/intertwined-hearts.html/
