Hold the two paper towel rolls together so that they make a corner.

Duct tape them together. The duct tape will be the handle of your bow.

Use clear tape to tape the pink streamer to end of one of the paper towel rolls. Wrap until you reach the duct tape. The paper towel roll will be covered. Do the same to the other paper roll.

Hole punch the ends of the two paper towel rolls. Tie your yarn in both holes tightly to make your bowstring.

To make your arrow, take a plastic wrap roll. Tape the end of the pink streamer to one of the ends of the plastic roll and wrap it until covered.

Cut a 2 by 2 1/2 inch piece of red paper. Fold it in half. Make half a heart shape on the folded end. Cut out, when you unfold it should look like a whole heart. Tape your heart to the end of the plastic wrap roll, so that the end of the heart is pointing out like an arrowhead.

Tape four black feathers to the other end of your arrow.

Place your arrow with your bow. Now you'll be able to send some love. <3
