First, fold the square in half in the lateral direction. Photo 2.

Then we unfold the square, placing it so that the fold is vertically located. After that, we make a small fold at the bottom. Photo 3.

Now we fold the workpiece in half. Photo 4.

Expand it so that the half with a narrow fold is on top. And let's start forming the heart. To do this, we will first make a fold on the right side. Photo 5.

Fold down symmetrically to the left. Photo 6.

Expand the resulting triangle 180 degrees and make folds at the corners, bending them up and to the sides. Photo 7.

Let's straighten the folds just made, we needed them in order to outline the guidelines for subsequent work. Photo 8.

To the places of intersection of the resulting folds with vertical lines, we make new additions of the side corners. Photo 9.

Bend the corners located below from the inside up and to the right. Photo 10.

Now they need to be hidden. To do this, put the bent corners in the previously created pockets. Photo 11.

It remains to work on the final shape of our heart. Therefore, we make small folds at the corners. All of them are located on the seamy side of the workpiece. Photo 12.

Carefully inflate our heart through the hole located below. At the same time, we slightly bend it in the upper part. Our 3D paper heart is ready. Photo 13.

Option 6. Layered card with hearts

Cut a sheet of white cardboard in half along its length and fold it with an accordion 4 times.
Cut out rectangles from colored paper (4 pieces) that fit the side of the accordion in size.

We glue them 2 pieces on each side of the paper strip. Preparing stencils for three hearts of different sizes.

On the first sheet we cut out the largest heart, on the second - a smaller one, on the third - the smallest, and the fourth side remains intact.

This is how the work looks from the other side.

We fold the accordion and get a multi-layered valentine.

If you expand it, then all the hearts are clearly visible through the holes.


Option 7, in the spirit of "yin-yang"

We prepare a stencil in the form of two hearts connected by a curly part in the center.

Cut out a blank from double-sided colored cardboard using a stencil.

We bend along the line of joining the lateral hearts. And in the center we glue a beautiful openwork heart.

We connect the side hearts to each other. Decorate with small hearts.
The result is a multi-layered valentine in the form of a booklet.

You can use 2 adjacent shades. To do this, cut out the middle part with one heart from pink double-sided cardboard, and let the second heart be red.

Glue the red heart to the side. Place a beautiful multi-layered heart in the center. We bend the side parts in the middle.

We connect the halves and decorate with flowers. This valentine looks more original.

These multi-layered valentines can be made using stencils from colored cardboard and paper. Some of them even resemble a puzzle, so they will be interesting not only for an adult, but also for a kid.

Openwork valentines

Openwork paper hearts look gentle, like a weightless cloud or a pattern of a skilled artist. It is very easy to do them, and the result exceeds all expectations. Here are several options for openwork hearts.

Option 1

First, cut strips about 1 cm wide from pink paper.Their number must be even.

Now we put all the blanks one on top of the other, in a pile. On one side, we fix the stripes with a stapler or PVA glue. And on the reverse side, we shorten them trampled. In the center, 2 long ones remain, each subsequent one (symmetrically on both sides) becomes shorter by 1.5 cm.

Divide the strips in half and bend them down so that the fixed ends remain in the center of the work. We trim all the edges and again fix them with a stapler or glue.
An openwork heart comes out of stripes.

If you connect the upper edge of the stripes with the lower one, then an equally beautiful heart will come out.



Option 2

Cut out a heart from colored paper on a stencil. Fold it in half and draw a beautiful pattern. You can depict a tree with fruits in the form of miniature hearts.
Cut out with sharp scissors according to the graphic pattern.

We open the resulting blank and see that the pattern on the left and right is the same. In general, it is a branched tree. This technique is called.

It remains only to glue the openwork heart on a sheet of colored cardboard in a contrasting shade. The valentine card is ready.



Option 3

Using a stencil, cut out a blank from white paper and a heart of the same size from red. Draw openwork patterns on white paper that are closely intertwined.

Now we fold the red and white hearts and begin to cut out the extra fragments of the pattern with sharp scissors.

This is how a heart with a beautiful pattern looks so beautiful.

We glue it on a yellow rectangle to make the drawing look even better.



Option 4

Draw a small heart on a sheet of pink paper using a stencil. The paper must be double-sided.

In this heart we draw a spiral line that follows the contours of the image.

Fold the sheet in half and cut out two hearts according to the graphic pattern.
They turn out like a long spiral.

Fold the white sheet of paper in half and circle the palm so that the little finger is on the fold line of the paper. We cut out and get such a blank.

In the center we glue two openwork hearts, glued together with the middle.
A valentine is coming out entitled "Our hearts are in your hands."



Option 5

Again, cut out the heart on a stencil on a sheet of double-sided colored paper.

Fold it in half.

And starting from the bottom corner we make cuts, we try not to reach the upper edge by 0.5 cm. The distance between the cuts should not be too large (up to 1 cm, depending on the size of the base).
When we come to the semicircle of hearts, you need to make an additional fold and make incisions.

Then we unfold the workpiece to its original position. It turns out a heart with horizontal stripes.

Now all the stripes need to be alternately bent to the right and left sides so that the heart gains volume.

Weightless clouds are obtained in the form of openwork hearts. Smaller hearts look no less original.

If you attach a pink thread or fishing line to them, then the crafts can be hung on the chandelier.
Such openwork hearts are quite easily made from ordinary colored paper.

The bottom and right corner of the triangle must be bent towards the top. Bends the left and right parts of the figure itself to the center.

It is celebrated on February 14, Valentine's Day, which is considered the patron saint of lovers and loved ones. The symbol of this date is the heart. It is given to each other and such gifts are called valentines.

You can buy the attribute of love in the store. But this will mean that thousands more boys and girls will receive exactly the same gift. Most people think about how to make a heart with their own hands. Then you can be sure that only one person in the world will have this gift - your beloved.

Festive symbols are invented from different materials. They prepare salads and bake heart-shaped cakes. The presentation and decoration of the holiday depends on the desire and capabilities.

From paper

This is the most affordable material for making crafts. How to make a paper heart? For this, apart from desire, you will need very little:

  • paper,
  • scissors,
  • glue.

When designing paper products, a huge number of its types are used:

  • white,
  • colored,
  • cardboard,
  • newspapers,
  • magazines,
  • corrugated,
  • velvet.

There are many options for paper valentines. To prepare them, you can use the following techniques:

  • quilling,
  • origami,
  • applique,
  • cutting out,
  • papier mache,
  • weaving.

Before you start creating, you should decide on what technique you want to apply.


Quilling

Quilling - paper curling. To do this, the sheet is cut into narrow strips, which are wound on a rod object: a pencil, a toothpick, a knitting needle, a thick needle. The resulting spirals are glued to the base prepared in advance to form the conceived figure. The thinner the object on which the strips are wound, the more delicate the final work will be.

For Valentine, cut a large heart out of cardboard. You must first draw it or use a template.

Cut strips 1 cm wide from paper and make spirals. Pick the color yourself, but do not forget that the heart in love is glowing with bright colors. The paper should be colored on both sides. To do this, you can use old glossy magazines.

Lay out the spirals on a cardboard blank as you like. They can be placed symmetrically on both halves or form an abstract pattern. Glue the curls to the cardboard.

Application

To make a valentine using the applique technique, you need to cut out one large heart from thick paper or cardboard and many small ones from colored ones. Small blanks need to be pasted over a large one. If you use material of different textures, the heart will turn out to be more original. It can be pasted over on both sides with clippings from newspaper and magazine pages, flowers, photographs.

Small hearts can be folded in half and only glued on one side. Then, under the other half, there will be a place for wishes and warm words.


Origami

Origami is the folding of paper in certain ways to form a conceived shape.

In order to make a valentine using this technique, you need a square sheet of paper. Having conjured with a sheet, giving it the desired shape, you yourself will understand how to make an origami heart. There are a lot of options. As a result, you get an original, your own origami.

Decorate the resulting figurine in any way. For example, glue a satin ribbon bow or paint with gouache.

Volumetric heart

A voluminous heart looks especially impressive, and many try to make just this for a significant day. If the question arises of how to make a voluminous heart, you must first decide what it will be. They are made from different materials:

  • paper,
  • fabrics,
  • thread.

The easiest option: cut a heart out of paper, make a small incision in the upper part, fold the incised places, giving the figure volume, and glue it together. A more difficult way is to apply the modular origami technique.

The heart is sewn from fabric and filled with special materials:

  • cotton wool,
  • synthetic winterizer,
  • holofiber,
  • foam rubber,
  • feather,

You can put fragrant herbs inside. Then she will become the “aroma-heart”.

Any fabric is suitable for sewing a love attribute. Small pieces are great from fleece, drape. For large ones, choose bright shiny satin or silk. Crafts made of chintz, flax, coarse calico are good. Such fabric does not stretch and it will be very convenient to work with it.

In order to make a voluminous fabric symbol of love, you need to prepare a paper template. Cut two parts from the fabric along it and sew them. When stitching, be sure to leave a small gap in order to fill the inside with filler. After filling the heart, carefully sew the "pocket".

Fabric that does not peel off can be sewn on the right side. This will give the product originality. The edges of very loose material must be processed very carefully.

Instead of fabric, you can use a knitted fabric or a present can be knitted or crocheted and also filled with soft material.

They decorate a room with fabric and knitted symbols for a holiday, give them to each other. You can make whole "heart":

  • beads,
  • earrings.

After the valentine is ready, it definitely needs to be decorated. Use for this:

  • beads;
  • beads;
  • silk, nylon, satin ribbons;
  • decorative cords;
  • different embroidery.

Having dressed up a gift in festive accessories, you can be sure that the one for whom it is intended will like it.


Salted dough

Salted dough is an easily accessible and plastic material. You can mold absolutely any figurine from it.

The dough is prepared as follows: a glass of flour and fine salt are mixed with a glass of water. First you need to dissolve the salt in the water and then add the flour. You need to knead the dough until it becomes soft and sticky. For the strength of finished products, sometimes a little PVA glue or wallpaper glue is added to such "plasticine".

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and shape the objects into molds. You can shape them by hand. The finished products are dried naturally or in the oven. Then, having shown all your creative ability, you need to paint them. If you add gouache or food coloring directly to the dough, the creations will immediately be colored.

Box

If the gift for Valentine's Day is not in the shape of a heart, then be sure to create the appropriate packaging for it - a box. First you need to think carefully about how to make a box-heart: there are many options. Try making a paper one.

Thick paper is suitable for the box. Very thick cardboard will be inconvenient to bend and glue, but the packaging will be stronger. Choose the right paper for the heart box yourself.


The box will consist of two parts: the main part and the lid to it.

  1. First, cut the heart out of the paper. This will be the bottom. The size must correspond to the size of the gift for which it is intended. Do not forget when cutting out the bottom of the box that you need to provide small parts around the perimeter of the whole heart, to which the side part will subsequently be glued.
  2. For the "walls" you need to prepare a strip, the width of which will correspond to the height of the box. The length of the strip is equal to the length of the perimeter of the heart.
  3. The strip must be connected to the bottom of the box, gluing it to the parts cut out with the heart.
  4. You can use tape or a stapler to glue the bottom and sides of the package. Then you have to decorate the sticky tape and staple clips.

The lid to the box is made in a similar way. Only the lid should be slightly larger than the box itself in order to easily close the package. Therefore, the top of the lid must be made several millimeters larger than the bottom. Accordingly, the side strip will be slightly longer, but narrower.

Decorate the box in any way you want. You can pre-paste all the parts with a cloth or bright self-adhesive paper.

Making a heart with your own hands is not difficult at all. You just need to show a little imagination and have a great desire to bring joy to your loved one. Even a lover, far from needlework and creativity, is able to make a Valentine's card for a romantic holiday.

The heart symbolizes love, tender feelings. Decorating a room with hearts of different shapes and colors does not lose its relevance both for romantic evenings and holidays, and on ordinary days. A handmade heart is a great gift for Valentine's Day, for an anniversary of a relationship, for a birthday. Also looks good as a design element for a girl's room.
The presented product, in the form of voluminous hearts, attracts with the simplicity of the workflow and affordable materials that do not require large financial investments. Despite this, it looks attractive and interesting. For making flowers, you can use corrugated paper, but based on the price category, ordinary napkins look no worse, but at times cheaper.
Materials for making:

  • cardboard;
  • scissors or clerical knife;
  • glue Moment transparent Crystal;
  • stapler;
  • table napkins pink;
  • acrylic paints, brush;
  • sequins;
  • a tourniquet or tape for hanging.

Manufacturing process

1. Draw a heart on the cardboard for the base. In this craft, a composition will be made of three hearts, one - 30 cm, two - 20 cm each in the widest part.

2. Cut out the hearts with scissors. A more convenient option is a clerical knife.


3. Paint over the back of the hearts. It uses pink paint to match the color of the napkins. In the absence of pink, it can be obtained by combining red and white.


4. Immediately sprinkle glitter over the paint while the paint is still wet. They will adhere directly to the paint without the need for an additional adhesive base. We decorate the back if the heart will be given as a valentine, or hung in the center of the room or on the windows. In the case when the heart is hung on the wall, it is possible to skip these steps and focus on the design of the front part.


5. Leave the hearts to dry completely.




6. The front of the hearts will be decorated with flowers. To make one flower, you need two napkins.
7. Cut the napkins into single-layer squares.




8. Fold the resulting 8 squares with an accordion, one side equal to 1 cm.


9. Fasten the accordion in the middle with a stapler. If it is not available, you can tie the accordion with a thread. But this will take extra time and possibly the help of another person.
10. Trim corners on both sides. You can, by cutting, make a sharp corner to get a flower, such as a dahlia or chrysanthemum. You can cut it in a semicircle, then the flower petals will be softer, like a rose.





11. Open the accordion. Gradually, gently lift all layers towards the center.
12. Fluff the flower at random to give the finished shape.
13. Prepare the rest of the flowers in the same way. For smaller hearts, you will need, on average, 13-15 buds, and for a large one you will need about 25.
14. Before attaching the flowers, take care of the hanging hole. Make it with scissors or an awl, stretch in advance a tape or string for a loop.
15. Apply Moment glue to the entire surface of the heart.
16. Starting at the bottom, fill the entire area with flowers. Glue Moment is good because it quickly fixes the parts, an important factor for its use is the first firm pressure.
