That is probably the only heart necklace I'd ever wear. :)

♥ You could swap the four cheese slopes (54200) for two 2x1 double-sided slopes [(3044)](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3044) ♥

True, although I liked the subtle change in angle the cheese slopes give, with a slightly more rounded top.

<p>If you live near a LEGO store you might have enough time to pick up the seasonal Valentines set <a href="http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=40004-1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">40004-1: Heart</a>:</p>

<p>If you're short on parts, you can build a basic heart out of 2x2 and 2x4 bricks for a truly brick-style:</p>

<p>How can I build a two-dimensional LEGO heart? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Heart_coraz%C3%B3n.svg" rel="noreferrer">Here</a> is an example of the shape I'm looking for.</p>

<p>Perhaps the model should be built from the bottom upward? I would prefer that some <a href="http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=3496-1" rel="noreferrer">Red Slope 45° 2 x 2</a> bricks (and their inverted counterparts) be used to achieve this.</p>

<p>The size of the finished model should not be much bigger than one's hand.</p>

Feel free to add or change tags as appropriate; I wasn't sure which ones would be best. Additionally, the first link is to Wikipedia: go ahead and switch that for the image listed there if it would be easier to read.

# How can I build a LEGO heart?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-02-14)

In the spirit of Valentine's Day...

How can I build a two-dimensional LEGO heart? [Here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Heart_coraz%C3%B3n.svg) is an example of the shape I'm looking for.

Perhaps the model should be built from the bottom upward? I would prefer that some [Red Slope 45° 2 x 2](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=3496-1) bricks (and their inverted counterparts) be used to achieve this.

![Red Slope 45° 2 x 2](https://i.sstatic.net/HraMn.gif)

The size of the finished model should not be much bigger than one's hand.
