Cut a thin strip from the outside of the edge of the heart. Continue cutting strips from the edge until there is just the small innermost part of the heart left. 

Place the biggest strip on the right side of your dried painted paper. Line up the next biggest strip on the left side. Keep alternating strips until you’ve place them all. Then glue.
