Materiales

Pasos a seguir

Draw a big heart (at least 10cm width) in the carbon paper. Write LOVE in the center. Turn the carbon paper and put the sheet of plastic with its matt side upwards. Reproduce the heart in the plastic.

Colour the heart and cut it out.

Make a hole in the top

Bake the heart following the instructions of the retractable-plastic maker. As a general norm: put the heart on the aluminium foil and bake it at 150º C during 2-8 minutes. Keep an eye on the oven because the plastic tends to roll up.

Leave the heart to cool with a weight on it, so it is flat. Put the ring of the key ring.
