Instruction macramé heart
First cut 6 x 50 cm from the cord.
Gather the first piece of cord in the centre and loop it onto the key ring with a lark's head knot.
Secure the carabiner to the work surface with a piece of masking tape so that nothing slips during knotting.
Now take another piece of cord and place it centrally behind the previous cord ends and tie a square knot.
The next piece of cord is placed diagonally (from top left to bottom right) over the left of the four previous cord ends. Fasten this with some masking tape if you like.
Then tie rib knots around the diagonal cord with the two left strands.
Repeat the same in reverse on the right side of the pendant and finish with a third rib knot that closes the heart shape at the top.
Now loop another piece of cord around the leftmost and rightmost strands, each with a lark's head knot.
Omit the two outer strands on each side and tie a square knot with the four remaining on each side, followed by another square knot centrally under the other. These three square knots form the inside of the heart. This is then bordered by further rib knots, first by placing the outer strand diagonally over the others to the centre on the left side. This is followed by the rib knot with the second strand around the first. The row is then continued following the shape of the heart. Knot around all the previous strands so that they finally converge at the top of the heart.
Repeat in reverse on the right side.
Tie all the strands together with a wrap knot and then shorten to one length.

Instruction card
Fold the kraft card into a matching card using the folding board and round off the corners with the punch provided.
Punch holes in the card with the hole punch to attach the key ring and the bouquet. Thread the jute cord through them to close them with a bow at the front.
For the top lace, cut a corner off the paper lace and glue it into the top corner.
Write a letter/greeting of your choice on the ivory paper. Stick this onto a piece of pink cardstock with 3D adhesive pads to finish by placing everything on the card.
