Align the hearts carefully and use paperclips to hold them together after you glue them.

Starting with the heart set shown on the left side of the picture: glue the blue heart of the first set to the pink heart of the second. Glue the orange heart of the second set to the green heart of the third.

Glue the purple heart of the third set to the yellow heart of the fourth. Allow drying time.
