Step One: Find a frame you like (I went to the Range and found the one in the picture for approx £5).

Step Two: Find a book of Maps. Because all of my hearts were based in the UK it didn’t cost me a fortune buying a map. I found one for the Works for £2 down from £7.

Step Three: Find a heart stencil (or draw it from free hand) and cut out the areas on the map in the heart shape.

Step Four: Work out the exact design you want. I wanted 4 hearts as I like the symmetry but it also coincided with my parter having a say in the hearts. He chose his home town and where we live now, I chose my home town and the University we went to. So it just fitted nicely.

Step Five: I needed to have something written on the poster as the hearts weren’t big enough to fill the frame I had chosen. I settled on ‘Home is where the heart is’. Chose a font from the computer and traced it out. This was easier said than done so I’d recommend finding a pen that can do thin or thick styles and trace it in pencil first. It took me a couple of attempts!

Step Six: Once happy with the font, align the hearts where you want them to be and glue.
