Then all the elements are carefully cut with scissors, and the tree is attached to the background paper with PVA glue. Next, there will be painstaking work on cutting out leaflets in the shape of a heart. Here it is necessary to use one template so that all elements of the tree of hearts are the same size.

Drawn tree with volumetric leaves
A tree with hearts with your own hands can be made in the following original way. On a large piece of thick paper, draw a black gouache tree with ornate branches. It looks interesting in love with a pair of birds sitting opposite each other in the center of the crown. Even branches grew around them in the shape of a heart.
Then, separately cut out a lot of hearts from double-sided thick red paper. To make them look voluminous, they are not attached to the sheet itself, but to a low stand. It can be a plastic bottle cap, a piece of foam sheet or corrugated packaging board. To attach such elements use a glue gun.

The next version of a tree made of paper hearts looks original due to the beautiful arrangement of details on the crown. The tree itself is painted or cut out from plain paper. The main work remains on the leaves.
They are created from hearts of different sizes. Since this is a flowering tree, the first thing they do is make large flowers. Each petal is assembled from two hearts folded in half and alternately glued with the lower half on a sheet and on top of each other. The remaining petals are formed in the same way.
There are round-shaped flowers in the picture, but there are also semicircles and details consisting of 2 or 3 elements. The voids are filled with individual small hearts, and it is clearly necessary to arrange a round crown. You can complement the picture with a couple of birds, in which the wings are also made of a heart folded in half.
