Procedure

Step 1: Cut Out Multiple Shapes From Different Sheets Of Paper

Take multiple sheets of paper and cut them into different heart shapes. Be patient around the edges, might take some time. Shapes range from big, medium, small to very small. One big, one medium, two small, two very small. Use a different colored sheet for the last two sizes. Additionally, also cut two petal-shaped pieces out of the chart paper, two small strips of a white sheet, and a comparatively bigger strip of colored sheet. Finally, cut two very small circles and color them black in the middle to make eyes or you can simply use googly eyes.

Step 2: Adding The Rodent Teeth

Take the medium-shaped heart and paste the two small strips at the spot where the two halves of the heart which look like mountains meet forming a small valley. They should be positioned at the same spot on both mountains near the valley, not very far away.

Step 3: Pasting The Two Hearts Together

Now, paste this heart on the big heart covering only the bottom-right part of the heart in such a way that the bottom V of the heart sticks out of the surface of the big heart.

Step 4: Adding a Pair Of Ears

Take the cutouts of the petals you made earlier and paste them on either side of the V of the smaller heart to make ears.

Step 5: Pasting Some Hearts For Love

Complete the process on both sides. You can also add the smallest hearts you made to them by pasting them on the middle of these ears.

Step 6: Give It a Pair Of Eyes

Add the cutouts of the eyes you made earlier or stick googly eyes if you have a pair.

Step 7: Adding More Hearts For a Little Blush

To top it off, paste the smaller hearts on its cheeks to make the mouse prettier.

Completing The Figure By Adding a Tail

Finally, use the bigger strip to give it a tail. To do that paste the end of the strip to the right side of the bigger heart. With that, your mouse is ready to play and steal some cheese from you

Today, we learned to make hearts and strips of different shapes and a very important thing, eyes, a peak into one’s soul, and when used in art, it becomes a doorway to the soul of the art.
