For the second piece: Place both pieces on top of each other and crochet together with single crochet stitches.
In the stitch at the heart's tip: 2 sc, 1 ch, 1 sc.
In the inner edge of the heart (between the two curves): 1 sl st.
Stuff continuously.

If you use a different colored yarn to crochet around it, you will get a beautiful decorative edge.

Finally, you can embroider your heart as you wish and/or use it as a keychain with a key ring.

Your crocheted heart is finished!
