Danish woven paper hearts

These Danish hearts are one of my favourite projects. Here is a picture of two heart baskets I had made many months ago. Next to the hearts are paper 3d stars made from glitter paper.

http://permo.homepage.dk/xmsheart.htm is a very nice site with detailed tutorials on how to weave Danish paper hearts (heart baskets, actually).
As I understand from the site, woven paper hearts are a traditional craft of Denmark.

Use a softer paper for making them or else the paper will tear by the time you reach the end of the heart. First try a simple heart with newspaper to get a feel of how it is to be done so you don’t waste your good paper.
I tried these hearts with something called felt paper/velvet paper (it is a very thin layer of felt stuck on paper).
We could also use felt for making these hearts – felt will not tear like paper, so that should be good.
