3. Place the scissors on the opposite side and press. The marshmallow should look like a half-butterfly and if we turn it will look like a heart.

4.  Cut the top of the wing and then the bottom separately. Then cut between the wings but not through. One side will be wider, we need to cut the excess off. We need to cut off it the same way as we cut wings, separately.
