     2. Remove the Stem: Cut off the stem end of the strawberry at an angle, creating a V-shape.
     3. Split and Shape: Carefully slice the strawberry in half, then gently angle your knife to shape each half into a heart.
     4. Finishing Touches: Trim any rough edges to perfect your heart shape.

4. Visuals, Visuals, Visuals! Each step should ideally have a corresponding photo or video. This is CRUCIAL. Seeing the process makes it 100x easier to understand.

5. Tips and Tricks: Include a small section with extra tips for each method. Things like:

   • "Choose strawberries that are firm and ripe for the best results."
   • "If your strawberries are rolling around, slice a tiny piece off the bottom to create a flat surface."
   • "For a more dramatic heart shape, try using a slightly curved knife."
   • "If your strawberry heart is too big, you can cut it in half to make 2 smaller heart shapes."
