DIY paper hearts: the easiest ways to make a Valentine. Do-it-yourself heart as a way to express warm feelings Do-it-yourself heart-shaped card

The very first big holiday after the New Year is Valentine's Day. Very soon, lovers will begin to intensively prepare for this day: come up with romantic gifts for each other, plan how best to spend this day and, of course, do it first.

It has already become a tradition for Krestik to help you find ideas and inspiration for any occasion, so we will start preparing in advance for February 14th!
Let's see how you can make paper valentines with your own hands, so as not to spend too much time, but as a result, get beautiful and original gifts for your loved ones.

To start making a valentine with your own hands, especially if you are thinking of making it out of paper and in the shape of a heart, you should prepare a template. If you can easily draw a beautiful heart by hand, then go ahead for thick paper and a pencil! If you are not sure that you can handle it yourself, then download the heart templates we have selected, print them on a printer and carefully cut out the heart along the contour.

First make a cut with a clerical knife, then use small scissors, such as nail scissors.

As a result, you should get such a blank, circling it along the contour on a beautiful sheet of paper, and then cutting it out, you will get a neat heart.

So, we figured out how to cut an even and pretty heart out of colored paper. It's time to choose an idea for decorating Valentine's Day.

Super simple valentines

Let's first look at the simplest ways. A huge valentine heart can be made from small hearts, each of which is glued to a cardboard base.

Small blank hearts themselves can become full-fledged valentines if they are cut out of beautiful paper and decorated with buttons.

There is a special place on the Valentine for the name of the addressee or a romantic message.

A complete picture of paper hearts is the height of simplicity and genius!

After watching the video of the master class, you will learn how to make a heart box with your own hands:

Valentine card with a pattern

The beauty of this way of creating a paper heart with your own hands is that it is not at all necessary to be a talented artist, even a child can make such a Valentine.

On a heart of white or any other, but better than a light color, draw simple curls, hearts, flowers and other delights with an ordinary ballpoint pen.

Then, using the usual watercolor paints, paint only a few fragments:

As a result, you will get a one-of-a-kind Valentine!

Such valentines can be given not only to a loved one, but also to friends (because we love them too))

By the way, do you know why foreigners write XO letters on Valentine cards?
In fact, everything is very simple: X conditionally means “kiss”, and O means “hug”)

Valentine's card using a stamp

The method using a heart-shaped stamp is also quite simple and popular when making paper valentines. To do this, you only need to buy one or more stamps. They come in different prints and different sizes:

If you can’t buy it, don’t despair - make it yourself from an ordinary wine cork. Draw a heart and carefully cut it out with a utility knife.

Then apply gouache to the sponge and try to make an impression on a piece of paper.

And now let's see how to make a valentine with your own hands using a stamp.

On a blank for a postcard (you can use a finished one, you can fold a sheet of cardboard in half) using a small piece of masking tape, carefully attach the blank with a heart inside. Then, using a stamp, we fill the entire surface inside the blank with hearts, while the color of the hearts can be different shades of red.

After the paint has dried, remove the paper blank and the valentine is ready!

Master class original

Another idea for making a heart stamp is to give a cardboard cylinder from toilet paper a heart shape, wrapping it with tape for reliability.

With the help of such a stamp, you can decorate a large sheet of drawing paper on which to write declarations of love!

Valentine card with hearts

Lovers of beautiful scrapbooking paper will definitely love the idea of creating a romantic three-dimensional postcard with hearts.

The technique for creating a valentine card is very simple. Using a paper puncher, cut out hearts.

The number of hearts should be 2 times more than what we see on the card, because each heart will be two-layered.

In this version of the valentine, all the bottom hearts are made from the same type of paper, and the top ones are made from different ones.

Take a ready-made card base or make your own, and then mark the location of the bottom layer of hearts and stick them on thin double-sided tape. Just sew the top hearts to the bottom ones on a sewing machine - it's not difficult, the main thing is to be careful.

Master class original

By the same principle, you can make small valentine cards:

And voluminous valentines in the shape of a heart:

If you don't have a sewing machine, sew on the hearts by hand. To do this, first lay the paper on a soft surface, such as a towel or ironing board, and then pierce it with a needle, using a thimble to push the needle through (watch your fingers!)

Ideas for decorating the house by February 14

And finally, get inspired by ideas for decorating your home for Valentine's Day. They also won't take much of your time, but they will definitely create a romantic atmosphere!

romantic wreaths

The wreath of paper hearts is based on a circle made of thick cardboard or a plywood blank. You can glue the exact same circle of decorative paper on top, and then just stick a lot of hearts on it!

It's even easier to make a wreath out of strips of double-sided scrapbooking paper. Bend them in half first, and then glue them on top, giving the shape of a heart. By gluing such blanks to each other, you will assemble an original wreath from them.

The more hearts, the larger the circle of the wreath.

Garland of hearts

In addition to the wreath, you can also make garlands with hearts. A figured hole punch with a heart and a regular hole punch for piercing round holes will come to the rescue.

The garland can also be made from hearts folded from strips of paper (based on the “heart” element, borrowed from quilling)

Of course, we will definitely show you more complex and interesting options for creating valentines with your own hands, but if for some reason you need to make a valentine very quickly, you can always use one of the ideas listed here!

How nice to receive on Valentine's Day, which is celebrated on February 14 and is dedicated to Valentine's Day, a small present in the form of a heart - the so-called "Valentine"! During my youth, such a holiday was unknown in Russia, and we gave gifts exclusively on February 23 - for boys, and on March 8 - for girls 🙂

But the wonderful holiday of St. Valentine, not tied to any political dates and official celebrations, quickly fell in love with many, and became very popular in our country. Give and receive valentines, notice the symbols of hearts everywhere and plunge into the atmosphere of general light insanity - why not?

Appeal to mothers and grandmothers!

If you are young in soul and body, if you are in love, give and accept signs of attention! If you are only young in soul, and the body no longer wants to fit into the atmosphere of a youthful holiday, spit on his grumblings and take glue and paper in your hands - is your body still capable of this ?! Make a beautiful and unexpected valentine with your own hands, show your children and grandchildren a master class, prove that there is still “gunpowder on our street”!

And even though there was no such holiday in our youth, we knew how to make handicrafts better than the current “generation of computer geniuses”. Hands remember!

Of course, you can buy a ready-made postcard. But is it so pleasant for both the giver and the one who receives the gift? After all, spending effort, thinking about who you are preparing a gift for, creating a surprise with your own hands, you experience unique feelings of joy and anticipation - and this is the same, unique atmosphere of a REAL HOLIDAY!

Moreover, such an amazing thing as the World Wide Web offers us many options and ready-made solutions, even in the photo, even on the video, in step-by-step lessons and master classes, with a detailed description and demonstration of the result.

I have prepared such a selection for you today - choose the most interesting version of the Valentine for you and - forward, to creative success!

Do-it-yourself valentine envelope made of paper - we do it with children!

Such funny animals that give valentine hearts can be easily and simply made from plain paper, along with children - I think they will at least not be bored! After all, you can invent and create absolutely any animal - a bear cub, a kitten, a bunny, and even one that no one else has invented before 🙂 Show imagination in the image and accuracy in work - and you will get a wonderful original valentine in the form of an envelope with a secret message for the holiday February 14, and not only!

What to cook:

sheet of cardboard or thick white paper
red paper for a heart
glue
colored pencils or markers or paints
scissors, ruler, pencil

Take a regular sheet of thick paper or white cardboard.
Bend in half, make a fold.
Make a cut along the fold with scissors - we get 2 blanks for our valentines.
Lay out the rectangle as in the photo. Mark with a ruler with a simple pencil 2.5 cm from the vertical edge two points and connect them with a line.
Do the same on the other side. It turns out, a kind of field of 2.5 cm wide.
Now, from above, set aside a line in this way 5 cm from the top edge, putting two points and connecting them with a line.
Everything above the line will be the muzzle of our character. On the side, you need to outline two semicircles - paws with which he will hold the envelope. Draw the paws below the horizontal line, stepping back from it by about 1 cm. Down
Here is such a muzzle and paws of the future dog turned out on a sheet.
We take scissors and carefully cut out all the contours along the lines of the pencil. If you are making a valentine with children, help them cut out difficult places - as in our example, the dog's ears.
We bend the lower part up - corner to corner. We paint the pencil muzzle with colored felt-tip pens or pencils. You can also make an application from colored paper - here only your imagination will tell you how best.
We bend the paws on top and draw claws on them.
From a piece of red paper, cut out a heart of any size you like, and glue it in the center. Be sure to use red - it's traditionally happened on Valentine's Day - for some reason, hearts are always red or pink.
Now we will make an imitation of an envelope - we will draw diagonal lines from the corners to the heart.
Open our valentine envelope and draw lines for writing inside our gift with a colored pencil or felt-tip pen.
You can draw a few hearts - it will be even more interesting. Well, do not forget to write the message itself - after all, any Valentine is a declaration of Love and Friendship!
Here are some funny little animals you can create. Colored parts can be painted or glued with an additional layer of paper of the desired color.

Do-it-yourself volumetric paper valentine - 3D hearts for Valentine's Day.

Very beautiful, voluminous valentine card with 3d hearts. The postcard is beautiful, but quite difficult for possible beginners due to the numerous folds and slots - everything needs to be done carefully, so immediately make sure your hands are clean, press the paper not with your fingers, but with a plastic handle of scissors or another object. You will have to tinker, but we will definitely cope with you, because we have step-by-step photos of the whole process!

To make it, we need to take:

2 sheets of beautiful red paper for hearts
2 sheets of white cardboard (heavy paper) of a standard size
black marker or felt-tip pen for tracing hearts
strips with rhinestones on sticky tape for decoration
a simple pencil, ruler, scissors, double-sided tape (but glue is also possible)

We fold each sheet of cardboard in half, precisely combining the corners so that there is no skew.
We will set aside one cardboard box, we will work with the second - with the base. Lay the folded sheet with the fold toward you and measure a 4 cm high line that is 3.5 cm from the edge. We symmetrically make the same line on the other side. The incision is made exactly along these lines.
Now we remove the concept of two-dimensional space from our heads and move on to volumetric 3D modeling - we bend the fold between the two slots in the other direction. You should get such a design, as in the photo below.
This is the outer side, and on the inside (open our postcard, as you open a book) - it turns out such a step. Did you manage? Wait to rejoice, it's still flowers!
Now let's wrap our step inside the postcard and close it by going to the outside. From the outside, our postcard should look like this. Now we must do a similar procedure with the inner fold of the postcard - set aside from the edges of the fold 2 cm inwards and 3 cm upwards.
We make cuts again along the marking lines.
To make it easier to bend the sheet in this place, attach the ruler to the ends of the cuts and wrap the sheet on the ruler, iron the fold line.

Now open the postcard again and redirect our fold in the opposite direction - to again get a ledge-step on the inside of the postcard.
Do this on the other side - now we should have 3 steps.
At this stage, we could already stop, but we are not looking for easy ways. Let's take another step! Along the inner fold, we again set aside the markings for the last cut - 2 cm from the edge and up.
But we will cut through only one upper fold (and not the entire thickness!).
Thus, we have another upper small step. Phew, you can exhale, then everything will go much easier!
We take our first cardboard box - it will be the outer, front side - we need to attach our “stepped” model to it. It is convenient to do this with double-sided tape, but you can get by with ordinary glue - the main thing is not to pour a lot of it so that our valentine does not wrinkle or warp. We glue both parts and get a smooth cover on the outside and a stepped design inside the valentine. Now you need to decorate it with hearts.
Let's make a heart template - best of all 3 different sizes. Two or three large hearts, many medium and two or three small ones.
Outline our pencil sketches of hearts with a black marker and cut them out with scissors.
Now is the time to show your artistic abilities - beautifully and highly artistically, with the taste of a true designer, you need to scatter our hearts on different levels so that it looks beautiful. If you can’t trust your taste, do it exactly according to the photo, perhaps it will be fine.
It is very convenient to attach hearts to pieces of double-sided tape, but you can also use glue.
Well, this is how it all looks. Everything already looks elegant, but there is no limit to perfection - let's do the last part of the design - decorate with strips of rhinestones.

Here we have such a “heart-strass” splendor! True, there was no place left for text congratulations, but with such an abundance of red hearts, words would probably already be superfluous! What do you think?

“Heart in the palms” is a very simple and quick paper valentine. Can be done with children.

What materials are needed:

red and white paper
glue, pencil, ruler, scissors
pink or red pencil (felt pen)
needle and thread

We take our (or someone else's!) hand with the thumb pressed, put it on a piece of paper and circle it. Cut out the hand stencil.
We bend thick white paper (or cardboard) in half and lay our stencil on the fold line so that the “little finger” is along this line. We cut everything to the fold so that the card can open like a book.
From red, double-sided dyed paper, cut out the same squares, about 6 cm each side. On one of them we make a diagonal fold and draw a half of a heart. This will be our template.
We also bend the remaining squares, fold them one by one and, applying a template, cut out hearts.
We sew the resulting stack of hearts with a fold in the middle onto the inside of the fold of our “palms”, leave a knot of thread on the side of the hearts. Then we will close it.
Glue the halves of the hearts to the palms with glue.
We also glue together the two halves of the uppermost heart, at the same time hiding the traces of stitching.
We circle the “palms” with a pink felt-tip pen, not forgetting to paint on the details inside - folds and lines on the fingers. Everybody! Our voluminous paper valentine is completely ready - you can give your loved one your heart in your palms!

Making this valentine is very simple, but there are some tools that will need to be prepared. In particular, it is difficult to do without a hole punch - to create the same even holes, and special curly scissors, since cutting all these waves by hand on many details is not at all interesting and it will not work out exactly - but the sameness of details and accuracy are important here.

We will need:

pink and white paper
acrylic paints (yellow and white)
glue
green pencil or marker
round head pin
a piece of pretty ribbon
hole puncher
curly scissors

So let's get started!

We “clone” the heart template of the size we need to the number of 7 pieces from a sheet of pink paper.
Glue a pink heart on a larger white sheet.
With the help of curly scissors, we make a beautiful edge treatment, so that a white wavy outline appears around the pink heart, reminiscent of braiding when sewing.
We need 7 pieces of such blanks.
Each heart needs to be decorated with daisies. To do this, take a pin with a round head and, dipping it in yellow paint, draw the centers of the flowers - 3 daisies, as in the photo below. Around each middle, draw white petals in the same way.
With a green pencil we add leaves - two for each flower.
We make neat holes in each heart with a hole punch. We pass a piece of festive ribbon through them.
We tie a bow and cut exactly the edges with sharp scissors.
Our gentle valentine with chamomile mood is ready. It remains to write on the reverse side of the first heart the name of the object of our donation, and on the remaining ones - your wishes, and everything that you would like to convey in words.

Exquisite valentine using the scrapbooking technique - Master class with step-by-step photos.

This is what a closed valentine card looks like.

Turning the paper lever, we open our postcard and there we see a surprise message.

To make this stunningly beautiful and sophisticated valentine, we will need materials that are sold in craft stores or scrapbooking departments (in bookstores). There you can always find all the necessary parts, accessories and tools. It is good that now all this can be ordered directly through online stores.

What to cook:

pink and white paper for scrapbooking (can be used for watercolor, or other thick paper)
semi-beads on a sticky basis
artificial flowers for scrapbooking
piece of lace, piece of lace
rivet with split ends - brads (these are stud buttons with a flat flexible forked leg made of soft metal)
glue and glue gun (can be replaced with colorless superglue)
curly and regular scissors

When everything you need is prepared - the process of creating a valentine heart will not cause us any problems - everything is quite simple.

From plain white paper, we cut out the shape and size of the heart we need.
According to the template, cut out a heart from pink thick paper.
Tint the edges of the heart with a slightly pink pencil, of a darker shade, to visually darken the border.
From red thick paper with a template applied to it, using curly scissors, cut out the blank. Cut out so that the wavy edge protrudes beyond the edge of our template size.
We glue a pink heart on a red blank with a curly edge.
Cut out a rectangle from red paper and glue it on top of the pink layer.
Now cut out a slightly smaller rectangle from white paper and glue it on red.
And on the corner we will glue another small red heart. Our blank number 1 is ready.
Now we will transfer the heart template to red paper with a pencil, but we will not cut it out yet. Our task is to make another red heart, a little smaller than our template. To do this, manually draw another one inside the pencil contour - a little less. On it we will make a crop. This will be the second piece.
This is how it should look like when applying the second blank to the first.
For the second heart, you need to make a decoration-bouquet. Let's start with the ribbon - make two loops and glue them together at the base.
From the lace braid we will make one larger loop and place it at the base, on the bottom layer. Glue this beauty on a heart - place it not in the center, but a little asymmetrically, as done in the photo below.
Now we need 3 flowers. If there is a stalk, cut it to the very root. Attach three flowers to the base of our decoration on the glue gun, covering the cut and fastening points of the braid.
We transfer one half-bead to our heart, gluing them along the edge of the heart.
Now we cut out a “lever” from pink paper - cut a strip of paper in the shape of an arrow, cutting off the corners. Glue on the back side of our second blank.
We combine both blanks and with a sharp knife we make a small hole at the base of the heart.
Pick up our rivet and insert the legs into the hole from the front side.
On the reverse side, spread the legs of the brads to the sides and press firmly against the paper.
So that these legs do not stand out, we close them with an application in the shape of a small red heart.
Check how our "mechanism" works - the top heart should move easily over the bottom, revealing to us a secret message ... Which still needs to be managed to be written on a small piece of white paper. But that's a completely different story... 🙂

Postcard, like a heart, made by hand. Photos of finished postcards.

Valentine cards in the form of hearts have become almost the most popular cards that all couples in love exchange with each other on Valentine's Day. But why not present such beauty to your man or woman on any weekday, showing all your love and warmth of feelings. Such a cute heart-shaped card, presented to your chosen one, can create a wonderful mood in a couple of moments and set you both on a romantic wave. Making such a heart card is not at all difficult. To date, there are many options for the technique of its implementation, and there are plenty of materials from which this attribute of love can be made. If you decide to look at photographs of this kind of postcards, you will be surprised how diverse and fantasy such postcards are.
An easy way to make your own valentines. In this case, it will be a large cardboard heart, on which you stick a lot of small hearts cut out of red and burgundy colored paper. These hearts can have different sizes and differ from each other in their shape, so the postcard will look more original. By the way, it can decorate both a romantic dinner and create a romantic mood in your bedroom with it. You can make a cute felt heart pierced by an arrow. We make an arrow from a cocktail tube. Cut out a triangle from the same material as the heart, which will serve as an arrowhead. We cut one end of the tube in half lengthwise, so that a triangle can be inserted there, it is better to glue it. At the back end of the tube we attach feathers. We make neat cuts in the heart and insert an arrow there.
If it is assumed that your beloved will carry your heart with him, the option with your joint photos pasted on a postcard is suitable. The photos need to be cut out so that only your faces that are nearby, possibly kissing, are visible ... Due to the fact that the size of the postcard is not large, the entire photo will definitely not fit there, otherwise you can make a mosaic from fragments of pictures. Inside the card, of course, words of love should be written, otherwise, why give such an intimate gift.
From two hearts made on cardboard of different colors, for example, red and yellow, and the red heart is larger than the yellow one, we make the following postcard. We glue a yellow heart on a red one, and in the center of the composition we attach a golden ribbon bow, as a symbol of hearts bound forever. You can endlessly fantasize and invent new versions of such postcards. Perhaps after a while your loved one will have a whole collection of such beautiful valentines. Do not stop giving each other your love and care, and your journey together will be long and happy!

Hi all! I want to remind everyone that soon we will have to celebrate the next holiday called Valentine's Day, which is celebrated every year at the same time on February 14th. What do you think is most often given on this day? Of course, small and cool paper valentines that resemble postcards, but they are made in the form of hearts and decorated with love and care.

Nowadays, you can safely go to the store and buy such a charm, but still there is nothing more beautiful to make such original pictures and give them to your loved ones.

Do you know where this holiday came from, write your stories below under this note? I think so, so I will not dwell on this issue, but I will immediately start from the most important and basic, I will teach you and show you step by step various ideas for crafts for Valentine's Day, so let's get started.

Of course, you can knit such creations, or even sew them, I recently saw how they made a heart from beads and even from felt. By the way, for those who are fond of felt toys, I suggest looking into this

It is no secret to anyone that even a child can make paper products, because every home has such material, the main thing in this matter is to approach it competently and do everything as the author recommends. Therefore, watch this step-by-step instruction and repeat, the result will be simply stunning and very beautiful.

I propose to make the first option for two halves at once, for example, a husband and wife, and hang such an ornament over the bed.

We will need:

paper
paints
ribbon
scissors

Stages of work:

1. As you can see, everything is quite easy and fast, dip your fingers into the paint, that is, apply it to the surface of your palms, and then make an imprint that will resemble a heart symbol.

2. Cut out with decorative scissors and thread the ribbon through.

The next way to make a valentine from what you have, so to speak, from improvised materials, is to take cardboard, preferably pink or red, and plus colored paper. You will also need glue, a pencil and scissors.

We will need:

colored red cardboard - 1 sheet
a sheet of pink colored paper - 1 pc.
pencil
scissors

Stages of work:

1. Everything is extremely simple, fold a sheet of cardboard in half and cut out a heart, then you have to make thin strips from pink colored paper, which you cut as if you were making grass or something similar, twist each such strip on a pencil.

2. Glue flowers on the layout and you can also decorate with sparkles and something else to your taste if you wish. It turns out a slightly voluminous and at the same time elegant craft, which you can gladly give to your mother, sister and say how much you love them.

And a similar idea, which also captivated me, it also uses the weaving of strips of paper:

But that's not all, if you turn on your imagination, then you yourself can come up with your own patterns, because there is nothing difficult here, see what can happen. Well, if you think that you can’t do it, then contact me and I will send you stencils that you can use to make these lovely creations.

I really liked these views, there are enlarged stencils. By the way, such crafts are called interlaced paper hearts.

The simplest thing is that you can do this and decorate this ordinary heart with any decorations, letters, rhinestones, etc.

Paper valentine master class for children

Undoubtedly, there is still such a tradition in schools today how to put up mailboxes and throw anonymous wishes there, which everyone then receives. You will agree that it is so cool and tempting, which makes this holiday unique for everyone.

Therefore, most schoolchildren, and just preschool children, love to create magnificent postcards, and then give them to all those they love and adore.

Therefore, if you have children, then you can easily make such a gift with them.

For children in kindergarten and at home, by the way, you can use this type of work as a group to make such a drawing, crumple the shape of a heart from ordinary toilet paper capsules, and then dip it in paint and fill the entire paper. Even a child of 2-3 years old will cope with such a task.

And if you still have not learned how to draw a heart, then you can use this stencil.

After all, children can simply decorate it with felt-tip pens or pencils and draw their own patterns, or use nothing else. Drawing antistress, or as it is called coloring.

You can find various ideas if you want a bunch of such anti-stresses, of course, this work will be more addressed to high school students and schoolchildren. I have several coloring pages in my piggy bank, if you are interested, write.

Or make a bookmark for this topic, cut out paper hearts on your own, and the child should glue them in an example, but something like this.

You can also make origami, because such an activity will certainly please the kids. Make a boat with them, and instead of a sail, a symbol of lovers on a stick.

Original postcard Heart for February 14 with a scheme

While preparing for this article, I found several ways of how you can beautifully and unexpectedly surprise your loved one or loved one. After all, on this day you really want something that will make your head spin. For example, if your betrothed gives you a ring, but not just like that, but in a purse. It will look dignified and at the same time romantic.

You will need to cut out of paper using ordinary sharp scissors two such figures:

And then connect them together, but in advance you will need to fold them in half, where you see symmetry, make a small incision, where the antennae of the butterfly are.

You will get something like this:

Now it remains to stick a ribbon or make it out of paper and put a cherished gift with wishes or a bill.

More difficult, I can offer such a craft, who is familiar with the technique of cutting stencils, it will be easy for him, this is a method of poking with a special knife, as they say among the people of vytynanki. You can get the stencil itself for free, if you write a comment below, I will definitely send it to you.

Also, in a hurry, you can build such a masterpiece using your palms. I think that the process of making such a product is already clear.

Looks gentle and of course with love. Your loved one will definitely be delighted and smile and give you a kiss.

In America and other countries, they often give their loved ones paintings related to this topic, you can use newspaper publications, you don’t need to be an artist to create such a work, see for yourself.

Well, another type is vytynanki, they are also appropriate to apply here. And I will write about them below. To be honest, such a souvenir can be taken to a competition in a kindergarten or school.

Here is her template, cut it out with a cutter or a special sharp knife.

We make voluminous valentines at home

As for such large and seemingly voluminous figurines for this holiday, I suggest that you first go the easiest way and make a heart outline out of cardboard, and then with the help of woolen threads, you can take different colors, or you can use one color. Tie, that is, wrap, as shown in this photo.

In the first version, we made flowers and glued them to the workpiece, you can also do it in this case.

You can also easily and quickly cut out according to such a finished pattern, and then glue the sides, the box.

And then decorate it with all kinds of decorations, such as scrapbooking kits. I found a similar option in this video, I share with you:

While writing this note, one idea came to my mind, and it came to me for a reason, my eldest son was sitting and collecting a mosaic from puzzles, so that's what I came up with. How do you see?

Stages of work:

Take a ready-made heart template, or make it by hand with a compass, or something round. Then attach the stencil to thick cardboard, and cut out the blank. Next, attach the blank to colored paper and make some more stock, as shown in the figure.

Glue on this green cover. Then cut out a heart from red colored paper and glue it on the back of the workpiece. On this side you can write a love note or a poem.

After making figures for quilling, wind strips of paper on a pencil, use a special ruler and a toothpick.

When the puck turns out, leave it in the circle of the same engineering ruler.

Take your love photo and trace it to the desired shape, and then stick it on double-sided tape or tape.

Now it remains to glue all the elements. And that's how wonderful and magical it looks.

Greeting card with corrugated paper roses

Well, now I offer another fairly common option of roses, which are easy to twist if you take the right type of paper, we are talking about corrugation.

There is also a great idea for a very large valentine, which is made in the style of toppiary, looks great, at first glance you might think that such a charming invention is beyond your power, but in fact, believe me, your eyes are afraid, but your hands do.

Now you will see the necessary basics and based on this information you can easily build such a little thing. And after all, it can be presented not only on Valentine's Day, but also on March 8 or Birthday.

Stages of work:

1. Take a regular foam and cut out a symbol of love from it, the thickness should be about 3 cm.

2. Next, take a stick or pencil, barbecue sticks are very suitable for this purpose and stick it into the heart. Hide the stick using a decorative ribbon. After inserting the stick into the jar, you also need to decorate it, wrap the dishes with cloth or paper, in general, with improvised means, you can even use plasticine.

So that the stick does not fall in the pot, fill everything with plaster.

3. Now prepare the following materials for work, this is glue, it is better to take something like liquid nails, it is more convenient for them to work. Then you will need corrugated or crepe paper and a core from a gel pen.

4. Now do the facing. The word at first glance is not easy, but there is nothing difficult.

5. Insert the rod into the middle of the rectangle (cut the paper into small pieces of the same size) and then crumple.

6. Now aim straight for the heart, glue the blank to the foam.

Remember that glue is best applied to the paper blank itself.

Using this method of trimming, you can also make such a fluffy and voluminous postcard on cardboard.

Pictures and templates for printing

So we got to the very last option, it will be unexpected, but also pleasant at the same time. In one magazine I saw such a cool cool novelty for the interior, decor in the house.

I remember that when the new year came, many of you asked me to send them templates for the window, so why not implement it here too, decorate the window with the necessary symbols by February 14, these can be hearts, angels, doves, etc. Like you look at it, see how you can do it in an original way.

And I honestly really liked these images of a girl and a boy. And you? There is also a scheme of cupid and fairy, as in the photo on the window. There is a boy and a girl kissing in a heart in my piggy bank and much more.

Therefore, if you also want to decorate your apartment with your children, then you can request all the schemes and templates for free, as always, I will send them to everyone by e-mail.

Here is a compilation, I hope my findings will be useful to someone. Have a good day, good mood and positive! Bye!

Sincerely, Ekaterina Mantsurova

If you persistently think about hearts, about love, it means that Valentine's Day is approaching. You can express your love, affection, sympathy in different ways, for example, with such a valentine made by yourself.

First of all, cut out a heart-shaped template: fold a sheet of paper in half, draw a half of the part. Cut, straighten - you get a neat, completely symmetrical heart.
Transfer the template onto medium density white cardboard.
Since this heart is a postcard, it is better to immediately write a congratulatory text on a white background. At the end of the work, it will be inconvenient to do this.

For the main part of the work, you will need colored paper napkins, glue (any), scissors, a stapler. Napkins are sold in a large assortment, but it is better to choose thin, soft, the cheapest.

Fold one napkin in half twice. Fasten the middle with a stapler.

Trim the resulting square around the perimeter. You should get a circle (not necessarily a perfect shape).

Take the top layer of paper, press it to the center.

To the first layer, crush the second, then the third and subsequent layers of the napkin. Leave only the bottom two or three layers that will stick to the postcard.

Make 10-15 such blanks of flowers, depending on the size of the postcard template.

The flowers are glued to the base heart tightly to each other. Straighten the crumpled core to fluff the flower.

Different color combinations of elements will look beautiful. To do this, use napkins of different colors.

If you didn’t write a congratulation on a postcard before starting work, then at this stage it’s not very convenient to do it - flowers will come. Although here you can find a way out: write on a separate piece of paper and stick it to the Valentine.

You can fold flowers not only from four-fold napkin squares. If you cut them into four parts, fasten them with a stapler, you will get blanks for even smaller flowers. They can also lay out the surface of a heart, or fill in the empty gaps between large flowers.
