How to make a heart with your own hands: amazing ... simple

I have prepared for you as many as three dozen ideas, so there will be clearly plenty to choose from.

Balloon heart

You can make an amazing heart with your own hands if you prepare two long ball(from which different animals are still twisted), thick threads, scissors and silicate glue (you can try experimenting with other glues, the main thing is that they are transparent).

The process is simple: inflate the balloons, as in the photo and wrap them with threads soaked in glue. You can apply several layers to make the design more weighty. After the glue dries, the balls need to burst and get them out of the finished frame. The tubes then need to be glued together, slightly cutting one. All that remains is to hang.

paper heart

Gentleman

This is a two-in-one craft: you can make a designer box or leave it as a valentine. Perhaps it can even be called almost voluminous postcard due to the presence of an intermediate box between the two halves of the hearts.

You will need cardboard or thick paper, scissors, glue, satin ribbon and decorative elements. Cut out all the details according to the photo and connect. If you want to make a box, then make it as well (numbers 6-7). Glue everything together.

The envelope

A very simple idea. A heart shape is cut out of paper, in which the side, and then the lower edges are bent. The corner becomes a closing element. If the edges are loosely fastened, then on the heart itself you can write wishes in advance and only then fold.

Heartfall

To implement this decorative idea you will need several dozen hearts, in each of which make an incision in the center and glue. Such a composition can be placed not only on the wall, but also on the panel.

Tip: you can decorate a pillow with such hearts if you make them from felt.

The unusual shape of this souvenir is achieved by repeatedly folding the cut circle with an accordion. After that, you just need to fold in half and glue.

The heart of a loved one with your own hands

Undoubtedly, all previous options fit perfectly into this category. But I want to highlight a few romantic patterns in particular for this occasion.

From felt

A classic, but such a cute heart that can become both a separate souvenir and an element interesting project. For her, you just need to cut out two parts and connect them with a “forward needle” seam. Before finishing, fill the souvenir with padding polyester and sew to the end.

Tip: decorate a hearty gift with beads, sequins or buttons - then it will sparkle with new colors.

clip

And again wire fantasies. This time the heart is for the ear. It is only necessary to twist the wire so that it forms, as it were, a clamp consisting of two hearts.

Paper origami heart

PLUSH INFLATABLE.

Here in the photo below we see a beautiful paper heart from paper, which is filled with air and due to this it turns out plump like a donut.

The basis for this origami heart is a regular square of paper - red on both sides. Office crane paper is suitable. We fold the square in half twice - vertically and horizontally. We get a strip (a square folded in half) in which the line of the previous fold is visible in the middle. Now we raise the corners of this strip - not reaching half a centimeter to the center line (fold).

Turn the craft over so that it lies with the top of the triangle up. And now we raise the edges of the lowered sashes up - flush with the sides of the triangle.

Now lower the newly raised edges of the flaps again. We lifted them only to get the fold lines. And now we bend both corners of the triangle (left and right) with a sharp edge to the beginning of this fold line (which we just got). We get the upper triangular ears.

Now you need to raise the corners - sticking out below the ears. Bend these corners up. And then hide under the upper ears.

The finishing touches of this simple origami paper heart craft are left. We see that the craft resembles a pentagon with sharp corners on the sides. We need to smooth these sharp corners and therefore we knead them slightly with our fingers (as shown in the photo of a paper heart).

Now turn over our heart craft front side up. And we notice that at the bottom of the sharp tip of the heart we have a hole. It is necessary to blow into it - so that our heart straightens, fills with air and becomes lush like an airy soufflé.

HEART ORIGAMI

WITH WINGS

From red and white paper.

For this craft, we need paper that is painted red on one side only.

Here's an easy way to make this origami paper heart with one side dyed red.

We take an even square of paper as a basis. We bend the square in half - 2 times, vertically and horizontally. Then again we straighten the square with the white side up - it turns out 2 fold lines - cross to cross.

Raise the bottom edge of the square to horizontal line fold in the middle. And immediately turn the craft over with the colored side up - so that the fold line of our edge is at the top. And now we bend 2 corners down to the middle vertical line - the right corner and the left corner below - it turns out as in photo 2.

We turn the craft with the white side up - we get the position as in photo 3. And then something that I could not decipher begins. No matter how I twisted the module, I could not understand what to do with it in order to get picture 4 from picture 3. Maybe I'm stupid, but you bright head and you will be able to understand how to make such an origami heart. I am publishing this step-by-step puzzle for those who like to brainstorm.

I have Another way out of this puzzle... Below we see a heart that can be made with wings. If we go through this master class, we get just the stage of a heart with a piece of white paper behind. This white part can be folded into an accordion in the form of a fan and decorated as wings.

  • Repeat this action for the second "X".

  • Bend the free corners to the center, perpendicular to the fold, lift the resulting triangle. Pressing on the central axis, straighten it so that the square comes out. Repeat for the remaining three triangles.

  4. For the new row, put on the modules as before, but now add two more modules without fixing between the three modules to make the origami voluminous. Do the same on the opposite side. Insert two more modules to the additional ones on both sides.
  5. The assembly process for the next row is normal.

To create a figure as in the picture, paper is taken rectangular shape. To begin with, the base should look like a diamond with triangles, so the corners bend until they absolutely fit the bottom end, straighten out and bend from the other end.

To create a three-dimensional triangle, as in the picture, it is squeezed in the middle. Repeat from the other end. Next, the corner of the created triangle is taken, by pressing on it a small rhombus comes out. The edges from below bend towards its center and straighten.

A loop is created for hanging hearts. Hearts are strung on a thread and the decoration is ready!

Fourth way

Garland only made of paper. The paper is cut according to the template (width 1 cm, length 6 cm). The two ends of the paper are stapled together on one side. On the other hand, the ends are bent and fixed with other cut pieces of paper. Gradually, the garland is built up in this way.

Option five

The decoration on the finger with a heart is also made of paper.

To make a gift, paper is taken in the shape of a square and folded in half. Important: one side is evenly divided into 4 strips.

If the paper is not double-sided, then it lies on top with the non-colored side, 1 strip is folded inward. The paper is flipped and folded vertically. Then it unbends, the ends fold into the shape of a triangle. The top of the triangle is taken and folded down.

The edges are straightened, as in the picture.

Even a beginner can weave a heart out of paper. To create such a gift, A4 paper of two shades is taken. It bends in the middle, turns over and bends again.

Then it is cut into strips (width 15 cm) and the shape is rounded by carefully trimming the edge. From the fold to the rounded edge, the paper is slightly incised and the strips are threaded alternately.

You can decorate the heart in the form of a pendant.

This option is perfect for making gifts with children.
