There are only a few days left until Valentine's Day. As you know, on this romantic holiday, it is customary to give valentines.
Traditionally, these are small postcards in the form of a red heart. Of course, beautiful postcard can be purchased at the store. But if you are a creative person, then you can make a gift with your own hands. Especially, handmade better convey the sincerity of your feelings to the addressee. There are many options, the most, in our opinion, interesting, we offer you.
1. "Sweet Valentine"
To make this valentine, you will need colored paper, scissors, thread with a needle or a stapler, a pencil, a felt-tip pen or a colored gel pen and, of course, the “stuffing” itself (M&Ms or Skittles are good).
First you need to draw a template in the form of a heart. On one side, write a declaration of love or just something tender, and on the other - the words "break here", "open me" or "look". Cut out.
Next, we sew (or fasten with a stapler) two parts of the heart on one side (the inscriptions should be outside), pour in sweets and fasten along the remaining side. Sad valentine is ready!
2. "Valentine - breakfast"
Another yummy valentines day. We need 2 sausages, 2 eggs, sunflower oil, toothpicks or matches, salt, pepper (optional).
To begin with, cut along the sausage, but not completely, leaving about 2-3 cm from the edge.
We put the hearts prepared in this way in a baking sheet greased with sunflower oil.
In the middle of each heart, carefully pour a raw egg so that the yolk remains intact.
Bake in the oven until browned (about 30 minutes at 200 degrees). Don't forget to take out a toothpick from the finished hearts 😉
3. "Valentine - breakfast number 2"
For this valentine, we need sunflower oil, eggs, bread, salt and pepper (optional).
Take a piece of bread and cut out the middle in the shape of a heart.
Fry some bread in a frying pan on one side.
Flip over and pour the egg into the heart.
Salt, pepper. Fry and cut out hearts. Valentine is ready!
Breakfasts are best decorated with vegetables, lettuce, ketchup or mayonnaise - for which you only have enough imagination!
4. "Valentines for tea"
Who doesn't love drinking tea?! The main thing is to know the preference of your loved one, which one he prefers. We will need colored paper (or cardboard), a thread with a needle (glue or a stapler), scissors, a pencil and tea bags.
To start, draw hearts the size of tea bag labels (twice as many as tea bags). Cut out.
Next, we glue (fasten or sew) hearts on the tea label on both sides so that they close this label (if you use a stapler, you can attach it to the thread by removing the label). We got fancy tea bags. You can write something gentle on them if you wish, for example, just "With love". In addition, you can decorate the whole box by pasting it with colored paper or paper with painted hearts (in principle, you can cut them out and stick them on top, it will turn out even more interesting).
5. "Valentines - chocolates"
Everything here is very simple, but it turns out interesting. We will need small chocolates (for example, Alyonka), colored paper, scissors, ribbons and beads (optional).
We just take a chocolate bar, wrap it in paper and decorate with cooked little things: glue ribbons, beads, cut out hearts and attach them. In addition, you can write tender words to your loved one or short statements about why you love him or how much.
6. Volumetric Valentine
It is important to understand and be able to distinguish different types of lines on paper: solid, dotted and dotted with dots. We cut through with a blade solid lines. At the same time, we do not touch the dotted lines. The heart also needs to be cut out not completely (2 “ears” should remain uncut from above).
Now extrude slowly the image of lovers from yourself, bending the contours dotted lines. Glue the cut out red heart on the main image. Now take thick paper or, if there is none, then purchase any postcard that does not have inscriptions inside.
Paste the created insert into this postcard. Valentine is ready!
7. Origami Valentine
A simple valentine's card, for the manufacture of which you only need a sheet of paper. Using this method, you will get a beating heart valentine:
8. Valentine card with a secret
A very interesting valentine card that simply cannot leave your soulmate indifferent:
We congratulate you on Valentine's Day and wish you great mutual love! We hope that you will be able to choose the most suitable valentine for yourself from the valentines offered by us, and your loved one will be satisfied! 🙂
We offer you several master classes on creating a variety of valentines by February 14th. Here we have collected best ideas, schemes, tips, templates and step by step instructions. From this article you will learn how to make valentines with your own hands from various materials: from paper, felt, beads, threads (we will crochet), salt dough, jewelry, etc.
In this collection you will find both very simple and at the same time original hearts, as well as those that take a little more time to create. That is why some of the crafts will be described briefly (you will just have to look at the photo to understand how to make a Valentine), and we will dwell on others in more detail.
Paper valentines
Let's start with the obvious - paper hearts. To create them, you will need cardboard, colored paper and a glue stick. In some cases, additional decor will also be needed - it can be added at will to any of the presented crafts.
Postcard with a three-dimensional heart
This is a very simple and at the same time spectacular homemade valentine card, which will be a pleasure to receive on Valentine's Day for a person of any gender and age.
We will need:
- rectangular base cardboard;
- colored paper for decorating a heart;
- glue;
- stencil.
The template can be anything you like, but we suggest you cut and fold a ready-made heart. It looks like this.
It needs to be cut out and the folds marked on it.
Fold the heart in half and bend the sides to it.
Fold the cardboard base in half and attach to it the heart that you cut out of colored paper using a stencil. Mark the place where you will glue the heart. Circle its contour and glue the side parts (small hearts) with glue.
Glue the paper to the cardboard behind the little hearts.
You have a postcard with a voluminous paper valentine. You can write a wish directly on it, and decorate the gift cover by February 14 with felt-tip pens or rhinestones. You can also place another valentine on the cover, instructions for making which you will find below.
Valentine card from paper strips
This beautiful and neat valentine can be a great addition to a Valentine's Day gift. It can be attached to a box or bag with a surprise for a loved one.
We will need:
- paper strips of the same width and different lengths (several colors);
- stapler or rivets;
- glue;
- threads and colored paper for cutting hearts.
Ornamental, corrugated, velvet and any other beautiful paper or cardboard can be used as the main material. It's great if this paper has an interesting decor.
The strips should differ in length by several centimeters - it depends on the size of the desired valentine.
Fasten the paper strips together at the base: short - closer to the center, the closer to the outside - the longer the strips.
Then fasten the strips together in two and bend them to the center, forming a heart.
Additionally, you can attach a paper loop to the valentine and make a pendant from a thread and small hearts.
Great idea- write a wish or declaration of love on each strip. Do this from the inside and invite the recipient to take apart the valentine.
Volumetric 3D paper valentine
An easy way to cut and fold a valentine with your own hands. The postcard will be original and very touching. The decor looks complicated, but this heart can be made out of paper or cardboard in just a couple of minutes.
We will need:
- cardboard or colored paper;
- stencil or ruler;
- paper cutter;
- lace.
Cardboard or paper is better to take double-sided. If this is not at hand, just glue two sheets together, painted on only one side. Just make sure that all parts of the future gift for February 14 are tightly glued to each other - otherwise it will come out sloppy.
Take a sheet and draw a heart on it. Then we apply a stencil to it or make markings at equal distances. Please use this template for your convenience.
You can print it out or just sketch it out.
Then we simply cut out a valentine from paper and go through the cutter along the marked strips. We bend them one by one: we push the first strip forward, the second - back, the third - forward again, etc.
The craft can be completed with a cord or thread. Attach a valentine to a gift or give it just like that.
Paper valentine in the form of a box
A Valentine card is not always a standard postcard. You can give your loved one a box in which you can hide sweets or any other surprise.
We will need:
- cardboard;
- stencil;
- glue stick;
- satin ribbon.
The stencil for cutting out a valentine box looks like this.
Print it out or draw it. Sizes can be customized to your liking. In this case, the box is made up of a standard A4 cardboard sheet.
We cut out the image of the heart, having previously marked the fold lines on it.
We fold the box, making the necessary cuts (look at how it looks in the photo) and fastening small parts with glue or double-sided tape.
You can attach a satin ribbon bow to the finished box.
Decoupage valentine boxes look very nice. If you have decorative napkins, consider this decoration.
Quilling paper valentine's card
We will need:
- cardboard;
- Super glue;
- any decorations;
- satin ribbon.
Cut out a heart from cardboard. If the cardboard is too thin, make it double or even triple: we will stick massive decorations on it - it is important that the material is durable.
It is better to lay out the composition in advance, and then simply glue the decorations with superglue and tweezers. You can choose a color cardboard or pre-paint it.
For inspiration, take a look at some valentine assembly ideas.
Finish the festive composition with a ribbon, and write a wish on the back. Such a romantic gift will please anyone.
Beaded heart
If you have enough time and you like to make crafts from beads, the next master class will suit your taste. This voluminous valentine can be a complete gift for a loved one.
In this video tutorial you will find all the necessary instructions. Even if you do not have much experience in beading, you will surely master this master class without any problems.
Such a heart for Valentine's Day will delight your soul mate for a very long time, because this gift can be put on the shelf and look at it every day.
Fabric valentine (embroidery)
And here you will find some beautiful patterns for embroidery. Each of them can be easily repeated. All you have to do is print or draw the pattern and run it on canvas or any plain fabric that makes it easy to calculate stitch spacing.
We will need:
- plain fabric;
- threads for embroidery of several colors (preferably floss);
- ready-made scheme in the form of a heart.
Please note that embroidery can be done not only on a napkin or towel, but also on a pillowcase, and then place a small pillow in it - you get a beautiful and practical Valentine's gift.
Choose any of the presented patterns for embroidery and create unique valentines by February 14th. By the way, embroidery can also be done on cardboard if you prefer standard postcards, but at the same time you want unusual design solutions.
Gypsum, polymer clay and salt dough valentines
These postcards are divided into one subcategory according to the principle of manufacture. Any of the presented crafts can be done as from polymer clay(cold porcelain), and from a gypsum mixture or from salt dough.
We will need:
- main material;
- broken glass, buttons, beads, openwork stencils and other decor;
- braid.
These postcards are difficult to sign, but they turn out very beautiful, so it's worth trying to make them.
If you need a DIY salt dough recipe, you can get this.
The easiest way to cut out hearts is to use cookie cutters. If you don’t have them, roll out the mass for modeling, from which you will make a valentine, and put a cardboard heart on it, and then circle it with a needle and cut off the excess with a knife or spatula.
Decorate the heart with openwork details, buttons, beads and other decor. Bake the valentine in the oven, having previously made a hole in it for the braid.
If you want to add a wish to a homemade Valentine, write it on a cardboard heart and tie it to a ribbon. In addition, a heart made of gypsum, polymer clay or salt dough can be painted with paints or special markers and write the name of a loved one on it.
Felt valentines
One of the most popular cards for Valentine's Day is felt hearts. They turn out gentle and touching, and even an inexperienced master can sew them.
We will need:
- felt of any color;
- threads for embroidery;
- cotton wool or cotton pads.
Draw a standard heart on cardboard and then attach it to the felt. You need to cut two identical pieces.
Make beautiful embroidery, sew on beads or beads and sew the details together. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to make a secret seam - the exterior finish also looks beautiful.
Stuff hearts with cotton wool or cotton pads - plump felt valentines look even more beautiful.
Here are some ideas for inspiration.
