Step one is to download the printable (find the link below) and print the PDF. You can print on to cardstock if you want the pieces to be a little sturdier. You can also just use black and pink construction paper to cut out some hearts. I also provide the PNG file for Cricuts.

Whether you download and print or draw hearts on construction paper you can now use your scissors to cut each of the shapes, then cut the large heart in half.

Lay the large popsicle sticks on a flat surface and glue the small stick to the back to hold them in place.

Glue the two halves of the large heart to each side of the popsicle sticks to make ears.

Turn the medium-sized heart upside down and glue it to the bottom of the popsicle sticks.

Glue the small heart to the tip of the black heart as the dog’s nose.

Glue two eyes between each ear.

Use the marker to draw dots on each side of the nose and you are all done.
