12 Tin foil heart



Every year, my husband made a gag gift for my mom. One year, he saved and saved and saved every scrap of clean tin foil from our house (I think he bought a couple-twenty rolls without telling me, too), wrapping them into a basic rectangle shape. He eventually took the pile to a metal shop and had them use a press to squish down the foil until it was this thickness. He used a band saw to cut out this shape... the shape of a heart... a REAL heart, complete with valves. He wrapped it in a single sheet of foil (to finish off the edges) and topped it with a cut-out piece of Christmas card. My mom saved every one of these stupid gifts. When sorting through her things, I chose to keep this one. It makes a darn handy weight as its about 4 pounds!
