What’s included with the free Printable Outline Heart Templates
This free printable PDF includes a variety of heart outlines in different sizes. You’ll find small hearts that work well for detailed projects, medium ones for general crafts, and larger heart templates that are perfect for bold designs or decorations.
Each heart is clean and simple, which makes them really versatile. You can leave them as-is or decorate them however you like.
Ways to use these heart templates
One of my favorite things about heart outlines is how flexible they are. I’ve used these in a few different ways already, and I keep finding new ideas.
- You can use them as coloring pages when you want something quick and relaxing. Just print a sheet and start filling them in with markers or pencils.
- They also work really well as a stencil. I like to cut out the heart shapes and trace them onto other materials like scrapbook paper, fabric, or even cardboard. It saves so much time compared to trying to draw a perfect heart by hand.
- Another fun idea is the plastic bag method. Draw with washable markers on a plastic bag, then lightly spray it with water. Press your paper with the heart template on top onto the bag to transfer the color. It creates a soft, blended effect that looks a bit like watercolor, and every piece turns out slightly different.
Tips for printing and using
I’ve found that printing on slightly thicker paper makes a big difference, especially if you plan to reuse the templates as a stencil. Cardstock holds up better and is easier to trace around.
If you’re cutting out multiple heart outlines, a small pair of scissors or a craft knife can help you get smoother edges. This is especially helpful for the smaller sizes.
