Draw one half of a curvy heart on paper.
Choose two straight Equisetum shoots that are long enough to follow the shape generously, with some length to spare.
Press a wire into the hollow cavity of the shoot
See the Tutorial below for more detailed information on how to wire Equisetum
Curve the shoot to follow the half a heart shape
Let the stem extend so that it can be in water. Also make sure that the part of the stem that will be in water is not wired so that your container is not stained with rust.
Match the two shoots and glue it into a heart shape.
Secure it with butterfly clips while the glue sets.
Add a bit of glue to the bottom where the shoots connect and glue.
Lean the hearts against the lilies.
Fill the shallow container with water to keep the shoots hydrated and remove the clips.
