Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Prepare your workspace: Clear a clean surface and gather all ingredients. Sort heart candies if desired.
Attach the arrow tip: Take one heart candy and gently press a pretzel stick into the top center of the heart, applying steady pressure until the pretzel sinks about ¼ inch into the candy. Pro tip: Warm the candy in your palm for 10 seconds first to prevent pretzel breakage.
Create the feather piece: Take a second heart candy and carefully cut off just the rounded top to create a flat edge. (Adult supervision recommended for young children.)
Attach the feather end: Press the cut heart candy onto the opposite end of the pretzel stick, with the flat edge against the pretzel and the pointed end facing out.
Repeat: Continue assembling until you have the desired number of arrow cookies.
Serve or package: Enjoy immediately or package in cellophane bags tied with ribbon for Valentine exchanges.

Notes

For gluten-free version, use Snyder's Gluten-Free Pretzel Sticks
Brach's Cinnamon Jelly Hearts work best for sticking to pretzels
Regular jelly hearts are softer and easier for young children
