Paint
the paper plate pink on one side and let dry. Then paint the
other side red and let dry.

Now
cut the plate along the edge and continue cutting into a spiral until
you have reached the center of the plate. Leave enough of the
plate to punch a hole and hang the mobile.

 |
Place several heart stickers on the
spiraled plate.

 |
Cut out several pink and red heart shapes
with the card stock. Hang the hearts from the mobile with
ribbon. Make the hearts hang at different lengths.

ribbon and mobile, but you can use regular glue if needed.

half way down the middle.

Cut small triangles out of the hearts where
