How do you make a heart shape on a map?

You can make a heart shape on a map by tracing around a heart template or foam heart on a selected map area and then cutting out the shape.

Here's a step-by-step process, according to the reference provided:

1. Choose your Map Section:

   • Select an area of a map that you find interesting, or print a map image.
   • This part of the map will form your heart shape.

2. Trace the Heart:

   • Place a heart template or a foam heart over the chosen map area.
   • Use a pencil to draw around the template, marking the heart shape onto the map.

3. Cut out the Heart:

   • Carefully cut out the traced heart shape from the map.

4. Prepare Background:

   • Cut out a rectangle from a plain part of the map.

5. Assemble:

   • Stick the heart cut-out onto a card or other chosen surface, slightly above the center. The plain map rectangle can be used as a background on the card for the heart to be placed on.

This process allows you to create a decorative heart shape using a piece of a map, as suggested in the reference. The example cited is used to create a map heart card, but the same technique can be applied to use a map heart in other crafts.
