2. Lay out a three-foot length of ribbon.
3. Glue the hearts to both sides of the ribbon, so the hearts have fronts and backs.

4. Insert a safety pin in the back of each heart.
5. Bake the hearts at 250 degrees, 2 to 3 hours (until firm). Allow to cool completely.
6. Let the kids decorate their pins using acrylic paint or permanent markers.
