What you’ll do:

1.    Print out the template and cut out the pieces.

2.    For each rose, cut out four hearts from scrapbook paper.

4.    Place a second heart on top of the first, matching up all the edges and pressing down firmly to adhere it to the glue dot.

5.    Use your fingertips to curl the tips of the hearts.

3.    Cover the book. Slide the front and back of the book into the sleeves you’ve created, then add a little tape to make sure it’s secure.
