After having them apartment on the flooring together with organized, I tried to delineate a heart, but no affair what, i side was ever bigger than the other. :/ So, I went within together with on a large folded slice of wrapping paper, I drew the pump together with cutting it out.

I didn't convey a big, sparse wooden board to attach them to. Instead, I used i of those heavy foam posters, cutting a smaller pump shape on it. The moldings were attached alongside hot glue.
