If not then sew them in strips right sides together over and over until you have one or several large pieces.

Step 2: Trace a Heart Template

Starting from one edge of the paper, trace the circle 2/3rds of the way around and then either use a ruler or freehand draw a line to the edge of your paper for the bottom of the heart.

Fold your fabric over at one end, just folding it enough so the template covers all the fabric when the straight side is placed along the fold.

Use scissors or a rotary cutter to cut around your template but don’t cut along the straight edge where you started and ended your drawn half a heart.
