Materials

  • yarns
  • scissor
  • cardboard (sturdy)
  • needle (plastic)
  • ruler
  • fork
  • pen

Here how i made it:

  1. Draw a line measuring one inch at the edge of the cardboard on both opposite sides. (This will serve as your guide point.)

B. Draw a vertical line measuring 1/4 inch above the lines. Then cut a slit in each line.

C. Draw a heart shape at the middle of the cardboard (this will be your guide creating heart shape in the middle).

F. Start at the middle using red yarn following the heart shape guide. Begin warping by going under and over the lines.

(use a fork or ruler to push up. But not too tight so it stays in shape)

G. skip one line on each side as you approach the bottom of the heart

(If you would like to change color or have just ran out of thread, just leave a 2 inches allowance of the last thread, and start your next thread.)

H. Once heart shape is done, secure your lose thread through back stitch.

I. Start warping around the heart using white thread by going under and over the lines

J. Remove the thread from the loom one at a time. Cut in the middle and do a double tie.
