• Cut a small rectangle from the one end and shape the eyes.
• Fold once again to shape the body.

 How to make the heart:

• Make small cuts at each end of the ribbon, but make sure they are opposite each other (see how at the picture).
• Insert one of the cuts into the other to close the shape and then break it.
• Use your fingers to shape the heart. You may apply some glue to make it firmer.

Now you have to stuck the heart onto the body.

The L.O.V.E snail – well, it is not that difficult, as it seems. It is made out of 4 ribbons, cut out of an A4 sheet of paper.

Start with the О, V, E letters. Then stuck them onto the last ribbon, closer to its end. Finally shape the letter L with the remainder of the ribbon.
