Materials

  • Clear glue (easy to find and versatile)
  • Food coloring (for a splash of color; optional)
  • Wax paper or a silicone mat (for easy release)
  • Scissors (to cut shapes, optional)
  • Heart-shaped templates (optional for those who prefer guided shapes)
  • Small bowl or container (to mix colors, if desired)

Instructions

  • Prepare your workspace with wax paper or a silicone mat. Notice the cool, smooth texture beneath your fingers.
  • In a small bowl, pour a generous amount of clear glue. Observe its clarity and how it glistens under the light.
  • If using, add drops of food coloring, swirling gently with a stick. Notice the way the colors dance and mix in the glue.
  • Outline heart shapes on the wax paper using the glue. Let your hand flow freely, enjoying the fluid motion.
  • Once you have your hearts, add additional glue layers if desired for a more dimensional look. Feel the smoothness beneath your fingertips.
  • Allow the hearts to dry in a warm space, letting the colors deepen and the glue take on a new texture. Listen and enjoy the quiet while you wait.
  • Carefully peel the dried glue gems off the wax paper. As you lift them, notice how light catches on each surface.
