Detailed instructions:
Start by creating a heart template. Draw a heart of the desired size on paper. Gently cut the pattern. To check the symmetry of the product, fold the heart in half. Pin a paper heart to felt and cut into shape. Repeat to make a second identical half.
Repeat the previous steps and make two more smaller hearts of felt of a contrasting shade. Using textile glue, glue a small heart to a large one. Do the same with the other halves of the hearts. When you have glued together large and small hearts, you can start gluing decorative ornaments. Arrange the jewelry in any order acceptable for you and glue it with textile glue. If you use buttons and other similar jewelry in your work, fasten them on the back with special clips (caps).
Next, cut the required length of the ribbon, fold it and glue it in the place where the holder for the heart will be located. It is better to stick the tape on the inside of the product. Choose a floss of a suitable color and sew stitches along the edge of the heart, leaving a small space so that it is convenient to fill the product with a printed pattern. Fill the product with stuffing and finish the work with stitches..
Wrap each lollipop stick with a satin ribbon. Secure the tape with glue. Using a floss, tie the sticks together. Hang the heart on sticks and gently insert into the cake.
