Next, cut a small hole out of the top of each heart. Tie twine pieces of different lengths to each heart.
Cut out a long strip of twine to whatever length you want your banner to be. Then, tie each heart to the banner.

- Twigs from outside
- Foam hearts from the craft store

The first thing you’ll need to do is find all your branches and place them into your vase. Move them around and cut them down until you like the way they sit together.
