Start placing pieces of mini tissue paper squares onto the contact paper.

Once the contact paper is filled with the tissue paper, carefully place the other piece of contact paper over top. Smooth it out nicely so there aren't very many wrinkles. My best tip for this is to have two sets of hands. One person will line up with contact paper top with the bottom, while the other person holds the other end up. Slowly lay the contact paper down, smoothing as you go, until you reach the end.

Next, punch a hole in each of the hearts. Thread some baker's twine through the hole and tie a knot. Repeat with the rest of the hearts.
