How to Make Heart-Shaped Guitar Picks

How to Make Heart-Shaped Guitar Picks thumbnail
The essentially heart shape of the guitar pick makes it easy to create your own heart-shaped picks.

Heart-shaped guitar picks can be used as a signature for guitar players, by a female or male guitar player as a stage statement, or even given as gifts to your favorite guitar player. Since guitar picks are nearly heart shaped to begin with, you can make your own custom heart-shaped guitar picks with guitar picks of your choice, simple tools and a small investment in time.

Instructions

    • 1

      Choose a guitar pick. Red or pink work well for heart-shaped picks, but you can make a heart-shaped pick with any color or design you prefer.

    • 2

      Hold the guitar pick up with the narrow tip between your thumb and forefinger. The narrow bottom is the point of the heart. Use scissors to cut a small "V" shape in the top of the pick. Turn the scissors inward as you make this cut to help round it out.

    • 3

      Cut a small, rounded sliver from each top corner of the pick to create the rough heart shape.

    • 4

      File the top corners of the pick until they are smooth and well-rounded. A fingernail file works well for this. File away excess plastic from the "V" area you cut from the pick to ensure the edges are smooth and rounded.
