YASBT - Yet Another Shaped Bokeh Tutorial
If you wanna freshen up on the shaped bokeh technique, Makezine has an thorough video tutorial covered by a text article that you can follow through off-line. DIYP has a kit that takes the work out, but it always amazes me how quickly you can make one of those to win a another effect in your box o' tricks.
If you are still having questions after watching the vid, (yea, you never know just how big that hole should be....) there are some great tips on the Removing The Mystery From The Heart Shaped Bokeh tutorial.

I did it f 3,5 with 18mm on a Canon Eos 500D, but the only result is the normal picture with a grey vignette in the shape of my cut-out heart. With f 5,6 and 55 mm it was the same, but a lighter vignette. With this lens (my only one) I can't choose a smaller opening. What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for help :)
Take the f5,6 at 55mm and
Take the f5,6 at 55mm and focus on something very close say 1-2 meter in front of your camera. When there is a candle light or other lights out of focus lets say in a distance of at least 5 meter or more, these ligths should have the requested bokeh.
love how this is made simple, but what if you
really love how this is simple and as soon as i fix my tripod i am going to try it, but i have a question
what happens if you cut multiple designes onto one bokeh effect? would it just be to cluttered?
Re: multiple holes
Should be interesting. On the Bokeh masters kit we have a smily which has multiple holes (a smile and two eyes)
It shoes as smily on the bokeh, so I assume you'll get the shapes side by side
