Although the exact origin of the hearts is unknown, the oldest existing example was made by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen in 1860. Whatever its origins, they are very popular throughout Scandinavia and are traditionally made with white and red paper. Two pieces of paper are woven together in such a way as to create a pocket inside the heart. Perfect for wee surprises and to hang on Christmas trees.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Swedish Heart Basket Materials<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>red and white <a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B003W0PBR2\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B003W0PBR2\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">construction<\/a> or <a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B003A2I4V2\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B003A2I4V2\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">cardstock paper<\/a>*<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B00RSAF6NQ\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B00RSAF6NQ\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">packing tap<\/a>e (optional)<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B00ATJLLC8\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B00ATJLLC8\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">glue stick<\/a><\/li>\n<li>scissors<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/swedish-heart-basket-web-pattern.pdf\">pattern<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>*The softer the paper, the easier it is to weave. Construction paper is easier to work with and recommended for younger children. People sometimes even use heavy wrapping paper.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: The weaving of the traditional Swedish Heart Basket will probably be too difficult for most 6 &#8211; 8 year olds. For that reason, we have created a glued version that is easier to do. We have also included the traditional woven Scandinavian Heart Basket following the glued method for parents and older siblings to try.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Swedish Heart Basket Directions &#8211; Glued<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make a <a href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/swedish-heart-basket-web-pattern.pdf\">copy of the pattern<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the pattern piece with packing tape before you cut it out. Although this is an optional step, we highly recommend doing it. It makes it far easier to trace around the template and it can be used over and over again. Cut out the template. Cut along the two lines that will create your strips for weaving. Note: If you plan to make several\u00a0Swedish Heart Baskets, cut out 2 templates. Do not cut out along the strip lines. Use this template for tracing around the pattern. Cut the strip lines on the second template and use it for marking lines.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18084 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-1-780wm.jpg?resize=780%2C585&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Swedish Heart Basket Tutorial\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-1-780wm.jpg?w=780&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-1-780wm.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-1-780wm.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-1-780wm.jpg?resize=425%2C319&amp;ssl=1 425w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-1-780wm.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18085\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-2-780wm.jpg?resize=780%2C585&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-2-780wm.jpg?w=780&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-2-780wm.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-2-780wm.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-2-780wm.jpg?resize=425%2C319&amp;ssl=1 425w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/scandinavian-heart-basket-2-780wm.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pick 2 contrasting colors for your heart.
