Finishing Touches
This is probably the most time consuming step. Take the heart out of the mold and get ready to sand away. Depending on how perfect you want to make it look and what types of abrasion tools you own, you will have a variable amount of time before the heart is done. I had some missed spots that I filled with instant spackling, but that isn't necessary if you are careful in the previous step. The food coloring probably won't be evenly distributed, which gives it a nice tonal effect. You could mix the plaster more to get the food coloring better integrated, but that is up to your personal taste.

After the heart looks like you want it, load it up with the data you want (you could have done this before if you wanted). Wrap it up and give it to someone who deserves your heart. I recommend combining this with a dozen duct tape roses. Enjoy!
