Step 2
Trace the heart onto a piece of foam board; cut it out with a crafts knife.
Step 3
In six paper or plastic cups, mix red paint with increasing amounts of white to create six shades. Divide about 170 corks into six groups, varying the number of corks in each. Paint the tops of each group a different color. Let dry.
