Creative Ways to Decorate with Heart Templates

1. Construct hearts of various sizes and layer them to achieve a layered 3D heart. Crafting them with foam tape adds an exquisite 3D touch, bringing depth to your wall art or unique boxes. Cut numerous hearts from paper, string, or any other material to create a lovely heart shape. Goes well for Valentine’s, Birthdays, Weddings, or any Celebrations.
2. Personalized Messages: Add a personalized message into sweetheart shape for custom greeting cards or invitations. Simple yet caring.

Pro Tip: If you plan to use the hearts for decorations or preserves, we recommend using heavy-weight cardstock (around 300gsm) to make the hearts extra stiff.

Tips for the Best Results

• Selecting The Correct Paper:
  • For more durable crafts, thick cardstock (about 300gsm) is ideal.
  • For lighthearted crafts or children’s activities, A4 paper is adequate.
• Printing Guidelines:
  • Open the PDF in any viewer, we recommend using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  • To achieve the sharpest results, set the printer to “high quality” mode.
  • To avoid scaling issues, set the scaling on the printer to ‘None’ or ‘Actual Size’ for precise measurements.
• Cut and Create:
  • Use scissors or a craft knife for those clean edges. Then get creative: markers, glitter, stickers—anything goes.
