Method
- Take 3 Adhesive Foam Sheets of different colours.

- To make the feathery end of the cupid arrow – layer progressively smaller hearts together, one above the other (as shown in the image).
- Stick these 3 hearts together.
- Glue the hearts to one end of the lollipop stick placing it exactly at the centre of the hearts, as shown in the image.
- Stick another set of similar three hearts on the back to create a sandwich around the stick. This completes the feather end.
