Dab some clear drying PVA glue along the love heart half and stick it to the side of the peg, the point of the heart should be pointing towards the end of the peg that opens to peg on the line.

When the glue is dry, you need to paint the middle part of the peg with red paint to make the love heart look complete. When the first side has dried, paint the back of the peg. Again leave to dry before pegging out the washing.
