My camera is broken but Kimberlee has pictures of her Sacred Heart project.
In addition to using the paper hearts for the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, Kimberlee suggests keeping the hearts around the house as a prayer reminder for July, the Month of the Precious Blood.
Another idea is to hang the hearts as a garland or a 3D String of Hearts.

Cutting and pasting some ideas from Mary Vitamin
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Visionary of the Sacred Heart
“One Friday, during holy Mass, I felt a great desire to honor the sufferings of my crucified Spouse. He told me lovingly that He desired me, every Friday, to adore Him Thirty-three times upon the Cross, the throne of His mercy. I was to prostrate myself humbly at His feet, and try to remain there in the dispositions of the Blessed Virgin during His Passion.”
Activity for children: Children can cut 33 paper hearts. Brainstorm prayer ideas to be written on hearts. Eleven ideas are sufficient. Place hearts in a small basket in front of an image of the Sacred Heart. Encourage children to pick a heart and make a prayer.
Brainstorm ideas from the Glories of Mary by St. Alphonsus di Liguori
~Saint Antoninus, "while other martyrs suffered by sacrificing their own lives, the Blessed Virgin suffered by sacrificing her Son's life, a life that she loved far more than her own.
~"Whoever then was present on the Mount of Calvary," says Saint John Chrysostom, "might see two altars, on which two great sacrifices were consummated; the one in the body of Jesus, the other in the heart of Mary."
~Mary heard her Son exclaim, "I thirst," but she could not even give Him a drop of water to refresh Him in that great thirst. She could only say, as Saint Vincent Ferrer remarks, "My Son, I have only the water of tears.
~Jesus meek and humble of heart make my heart like unto thine.
~Yesterday’s MV from St. John Eudes
