    I taped it to a piano stool to show the layout.
    You should have two short strings on the ends with two hearts.
    Then the string next to it will be slightly longer, having three hearts.
    Finally, the middle string with be the longest and also have three hearts.

    Step 17

    Connect the two rolled up pages of magazines in a criss cross fashion and on the second one, you should have two strings on each side. Having two hearts on each. Again the outer strings will be shortest.

    So there should be five strings on one magazine stick and four on the other. attach a string on the top and hang it up.
    I hope this wasn't too difficult to understand. But it's really cute, and I hope you enjoy. :)
