Edible 8-bit Heart

In this instructable I will show you how to make an edible 8-bit heart sure to please any video game fan or candy fan, out of just one 14 oz bag of starburst candy and a hot glue gun.

Materials/ Tools needed:

One 14oz bag of Starburst candies, FaveReds are preferred due to the pink/red color palette.

Hot glue gun

I think it is best to begin by Knolling all of your candy into columns. You may want to skip this step if you just want to make a quick heart that has no color scheme. You will need a total of 68 starburst for the heart so you will have extras, but don't eat any just yet.

Your first gluing task will be to create 34 "cubes" by gluing two starburst together on the broad sides. I put cubes in quotation, because they are not quite perfect cubes, although they are very close. You can choose to glue your starburst in a pattern as you make cubes, or you can glue them randomly.

As you make the cubes it is helpful to begin arranging them in a heart formation as you go. The above template should just be used for the general shape. It is very random as to what colors you will get in a bag of starburst. I suggest improvising and trying to make a pattern based on the colors you get.

After you make the cubes begin by gluing columns of cubes together. I find it best to hold the cubes on a flat surface while gluing them to make sure the columns are straight.

Should be self explanatory, no one wants a heart covered in hot glue webs. After cleaning you are done!
