How-To: Make a Heart Out of a Cigarette Package

Here I want to show you how to create a heart out of the plastic film which seals a pack of cigarettes. A nice thing to do if you're hanging around bored in a pub.

Step 1: Pull the Plastic Off

Pull of the plastic foil about 1,5 cm

Step 2: Turn It 90 Degrees

Turn it around 90 Degrees, so 2 "flaps" are formed

Step 3: Melt and Fold Them Down

Now take a lighter. Melt the edges of the 2 Flaps and fold them down to the middle.

Step 4: Repeat

Repeat the last step 3 times.
Then pull of the plastic completely.

Melt down the pieces of plastic which are standing out of the square. First the two small sides, the the bigger ones.

Step 5: The Square

now you should have a pretty decent square.

Step 6: The Notch

Now melt a notch to one of the corners. User a lighter to push it down.

Step 7: The Edges

Now round up the edges. User the bottom of your lighter.

Step 8: Finish

Now your heart is finished and ready to be given to the one you love :-)

Caution: Hot plastic cane hurt you, and gases may be toxic!
