Need help with heart decoration

13 years ago

I'm trying to make a huge lighted Valentine's decoration. I had the idea to maybe make one or more huge hearts out of chicken wire and wrap white or Christmas lights through it so I can have a visible decoration. Now I'm trying to figure out how to make a heart shaped form so I can just staple a layer of chicken wire over it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Try "bender board" and plywood. You can cut two hearts out of plywood and then put the bender board between them around the edges. It will make a heart shaped box. Bender board can be found at any lumber yard or big box store that sells lumber.
