In the spirit of Valentine's Day...

How can I build a two-dimensional LEGO heart? Here is an example of the shape I'm looking for.

Perhaps the model should be built from the bottom upward? I would prefer that some Red Slope 45° 2 x 2 bricks (and their inverted counterparts) be used to achieve this.

Red Slope 45° 2 x 2

The size of the finished model should not be much bigger than one's hand.

  • Feel free to add or change tags as appropriate; I wasn't sure which ones would be best. Additionally, the first link is to Wikipedia: go ahead and switch that for the image listed there if it would be easier to read.

If you live near a LEGO store you might have enough time to pick up the seasonal Valentines set 40004-1: Heart:

If you're short on parts, you can build a basic heart out of 2x2 and 2x4 bricks for a truly brick-style:

You can always smooth out the edges with red 2x2 sloped tiles and a few cheese slopes:

  • That is probably the only heart necklace I'd ever wear. :)

  • ♥ You could swap the four cheese slopes (54200) for two 2x1 double-sided slopes (3044) ♥

  • True, although I liked the subtle change in angle the cheese slopes give, with a slightly more rounded top.
