Anyway, hope you get some ideas and tips from the video. Some parts are speeded up.

NOTE: This is the wheel you can use to make heart shapes for Valentines! See this post for details.

The oval Spirograph gear produces a sort-of heart shape when you use the holes near the pointy end.

It produces 8 points or petals with the 144/96 ring, and 7 with the 150/105 ring.

Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought I’d play with it a bit. I used the 144/96 ring and combined the oval with wheels 84 and 60, which also give 8 points.

If you have a kid in grade school, you could quickly produce enough valentines for the whole class! Try some fancy paper or cardstock and add sparkles or other embellishments.
