Gooey, glue-y hearts

We are tired of snow man art projects around here and , since Valentines day is less than a month away, we have moved on to hearts! Here we are making gooey, gluey hearts:

1/4 c corn starch
1/2 cup water
Mix together and heat until nice and "gooey"
8-12 inch pieces of yarn
Food coloring ( optional. We used "red" since we were using boring white yarn)

You know it's really messy when even Mack wants to wash her hands!
Wipe any "extra" goo off of the gluey yarn and put it into the cookie cutters:
They needed a day to dry:
And here they are :
