Using the hearts as templates, cut three cellophane hearts (one of each size.)  Cut the cellophane slightly smaller than each heart's OD.  Then spread a thin layer of glue to the back of the corresponding size heart.  Don't worry about ripples and wrinkles in the cellophane; they make interesting light patterns.
