The inner point of the heart needs to be wide enough for the twisted bar to pass through.
Testing the fit.

Then form the rest of the heart.
Then form the rest of the heart.
Bending the stock into a precise shape is typically an iterative process.
Heating only part of the metal at a time, to limit where deformation occurs, is helpful.

The final part of the toy requires making a loop large enough for the inner point of the heart to pass through.
