Woodworking Challenge - Heart-shaped planter box

I have a major crush on these heart shaped wooden succulent planters. This dude makes them in the US, I can't find any instructions on how to make a heart shaped wooden succulent planter. This is completely beyond me but how would you tackle this?

P.S. This would make an AWESOME Christmas gift for any females in your life. If you manage to make it be prepared for a major boost to your popularity blokes :laugh: 

(or if you happen to be a female woodworker tackling this challenge you will be my new girl crush :D)

Re: My take on the heart shaped planter "challenge"

@Bundaboy Can you please give some tips on how to make it the size as yours? I’m wanting it to form an edging for plants on a double gravesite (this as a frame with plants planted in the middle and white stones on the outside)

@JoeAzza @Jason is it possible for you or someone to do step by step instructions for this. This will be my first go at building some so would appreciate some step by step instructions

Hi @Zaza166 , 

I had a look on the internet and found this, hopefully this will give you some idea on how to make a timber heart shaped planter, you will need to scaled up to the size required, you will probably need a mitre saw to cut your angles, looking forward to seeing your project.
