an empty, clean juice or vegetable can

Glue a painted heart to the can, then glue the remaining hearts to Popsicle sticks. Cut picture in heart shape a little smaller than the one on can, and glue inside of it. Press a small amount of clay into the bottom of the can. Then tuck a small amount of red tissue into the can, and then insert the sticks through the paper and into the clay.
