Valentine heart

Two layered perspex heart with a light source inside it, to signify your burning love.

Step 1 The pattern

First, you need a pattern for the heart. Draw half a heart on the left half of a sheet of paper, then darken it with a soft pencil.

Fold and rub along the line so that the carbon from the pencil lead transfers to the other side. This gives you a symmetrical heart.

Darken the faint outline, too, so that it is easily visible. Make any corrections as needed.

Now you have the paper pattern for the heart.

Opaque plastic would diffuse the light making it look more glowy - but nice! = )

You could always etch it to produce a more defused look or even etch a valentines card message onto the heart.
