Making a braided heart
Choose a suitable braided heart template and print it out. Now you can get creative and design the unprinted side of the heart with Seccorell. Let your creativity run wild and design the heart individually to suit the occasion. Decorate it with flowers, for example, or design it in the favorite colors of the person who is to receive the gift.
Step 1
Fold the sheet along the marking in the middle so that the lines are visible on the outside. Now cut out the heart halves and cut along the solid lines. Open the heart again and fold it so that the printed lines are now on the inside.
Step 2
Place the heart halves on top of each other in a heart shape, taking the first strips to the top.
Step 3
Insert the blue strip into the loop of the yellow strip.
Step 4
This is what the heart should look like now.
Step 5
Take the second yellow strip and put it through the loop of the blue strip.
Step 6
The heart should now look like this.
Step 7
Insert the blue strip into the loop of the third yellow strip.
Step 8
The first blue strip is now completely braided.
Step 9
Braid the second blue strip in the opposite direction, i.e. first pass the yellow strip through the blue loop and then pass the blue strip through the yellow loop. Repeat the alternate braiding until you have reached the end of the strip.
Step 10
Weave the third blue stripe in the same way as the first.
Step 11
Now the heart is ready and can be filled with sweets or a nice little gift.
