How to make it
To make symmetrical hearts, use the side of a pen to roll flat a lump of clay to about 1/8-inch thick.
Cut out pieces with a heart-shaped aspic cutter. For free-form hearts, use your fingers to form or coil individual bits of clay. You can even swirl together multiple colors.
Use the toothpick to make a hole in a corner of each bead and then bake hearts according to package directions.
