Instructions:
1. Print the template out and trace the shape onto the plywood.
2. Saw the heart out.
3. Cover the heart with paper napkin applique glue and press the wrong side of the paper onto the glue. Smoothen the paper so that there are no bubbles and let the glue dry.
4. Once the glue is dry, cut around the heart shape carefully with a craft knife or scissors.
