Hershey’s Heart Tutorial UPDATED

The Hershey’s Heart was the second Hershey’s tutorial that I designed. At the time I was still learning how to make them and I wanted to come back with an improved version. Three changes that you will note are: you can use 8-½” x 11” card stock, the card stock is no longer doubled over and the kisses fit tighter. I recommend using Stampin’ Up Card Stock (for stability) and Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue (for longevity) for my Hershey’s tutorials (supplies available for purchase below).

I hope you like my updated tutorial and that you will be able to use it to spread some love this Valentine’s Day!

Hershey’s Heart Tutorial Revised

Step One

1. Start with a 11” x 1” piece of card stock. On the 11” side, score at the ¼”, 5-½” and 10-¾” marks

Step Two

2. Draw a pencil line at the 1-3/8”, 4-½”, 6-½” and 9-5/8” marks.

Step Three

3. At the 1-3/8” and 9-5/8” marks, cut slots half the width of the strip, by cutting on either side of the pencil mark and then nipping of the little strip that remains. Note: The slots should be approximately 1/16″ wide. One slot goes up and the other slot goes down.

Step Four

4. Fold the strip along the THREE score lines as shown.

Step Five

5. Use your bone folder to slightly curl the strip.

Step Six

6. This is what the strip looks like when it has been curled.

Step Seven

7. Put some Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the left tab end.

Step Eight

8. Bend the left side of the heart towards the right side, adhering the tab to the right side. The score line should line up with the pencil mark.

Step Nine

9. Put adhesive on the other tab end.

Step 10.

10. Bend the left side of the heart towards the right side, making sure to interlock the slots. Adhere the tab to the right side. The score line should line up with the pencil mark.

Step Eleven

11. For the insert pieces, start with a 5” x 3” piece of card stock. On the 5” side, score at the 1”, 2”, 3” and 4” marks.

Step Twelve

12. On the 3” side cut into 1” strips.

Step Thirteen

13. Fold ALL THREE strips as shown.

Step Fourteen

14. Place the three strips into the heart in the open spaces.

Step Fifteen
