Make a last-minute hanging heart for Valentine's Day - from almost nothing!

Forgotten
to buy, or make, a card? Running out of time? No craft materials on hand? I'm not necessarily saying any or all of the above apply to me, but I'm on holiday in Vietnam, I didn't bring a card with me, and Valentine's Day isn't celebrated here. I did have an old newspaper, scissors and thread, so I made a hanging heart. 
I folded a piece of paper, cut a heart shape on the fold, then used that as a template to cut more.
I stitched them together up the centre line, leaving a long length of thread to hang the charming finished item.
Went down rather well.
