You can always make a huge heart out of paper or a garland of felt hearts yourself. Even if you don't consider yourself creative person, capable of creating masterpieces in the origami style, you can rest assured that making a figure from a suitable material is not at all difficult. Of course, this takes time, but as a result you will get very beautiful product, which can be added to any gift.
If you decide to give someone a heart as a gift, but there is not much time left, then paper is the simplest and most suitable element for such a craft. It will be convenient for a beginner to work with thick paper: it does not deform, holds its shape and lends itself easily.
There are many options for creating a paper heart.
First, pay attention to the simplest and most understandable examples.
Creating a Valentine card with a 3D heart. The first thing you can do is draw a sketch of your heart by hand. If you are not sure that your heart will turn out symmetrical, then you can use templates that are available on the Internet. You can print a suitable template on colored paper or cardboard.
Think in advance whether you want to make several large hearts or many small ones. By the way, you can make both a postcard and a homemade painting from small hearts. An example is shown in the photo below.
You can glue the hearts only with the “roots”. To do this, you first need to bend each heart in half and apply a small drop of glue to the heart itself. If you apply glue to the painting canvas, it may be visible in the future.
Since we are working with small products and the surface to be glued is small, it is better to use instant glue in small tubes so that you can easily adjust the amount of glue on the paper. In this case ready product It will be very strong and neat.
When you start making a heart or several hearts, imagine what you want as a result: a postcard, a product that can become a collage or wall decoration, a hanging figure, or another format. In this case, it will be easy for you to use your imagination and create, since from any number of hearts of any shape you can create something very airy and beautiful.
One of the most “airy” options for such crafts is a garland. You can make it long shape and use to decorate a chandelier or window. You can also place the hearts more closely together, as if creating a cloud shape. Such a garland will look beautiful, for example, on a lit wall. The main thing is not to make the garlands very thin and long. Such garlands usually get tangled and, as a result, are short-lived.
Hearts can be of different sizes and colors, and perhaps your garland will consist of heart blanks of the same size. In this case, to save time, it is better to immediately draw or print on paper required amount hearts, so that during the process you are not distracted by “finishing the drawing”.
Garlands are usually attached to threads or fishing line. If your garland is “light”, then it is better to use transparent fishing line. If you want to make something like a “New Year’s wreath” from hearts, then such a product will stick very well on a wire or a circle made of thick cardboard.
Volumetric hearts can become separate subject interior Look especially impressive volumetric products large sizes. Such a fake can become a bright accent in your living room or, if you make volumetric heart small, decorate greeting card.
The technique that we will now talk about has its own name.
Quilling is a “paper rolling” technique, due to which your hearts will turn out to be very light.
You will need glue, scissors and double-sided construction paper of any color. In fact, a heart made of paper of several colors changing into each other looks very beautiful. For example, the range from burgundy to pink. It all depends on your preference.
You can deform the paper regular pencil. By pressing the paper against the pencil and twisting it, you secure the shape of the paper.
This fake does not require a preliminary layout. Instead, you take a piece of paper and cut it into equal strips. Wind each strip onto a pencil according to the pattern described above. As a result, you will get a certain number of paper spirals.
Now you must glue them together starting from the center. You choose the size yourself. Such volumetric hearts made from paper with your own hands can be a substitute for postcards or serve as interior decoration.
You can not only make a soft, voluminous heart out of fabric, but also use fragrant fillings. For such a fake you will need suitable fabric. On it you draw a model of a heart and cut it out in duplicate.
The larger the heart, the easier it will be for you to sew it. You apply the sides of the future love symbol to each other front side and stitch along the edges with suitable threads. Be sure to leave a small hole in order to pour filler or foam into the resulting case. If you don't have either, you can use leftover pieces of fabric or cotton wool.
Your heart will probably be made of a solid color fabric. Perhaps you will sew on your heart decorative elements and ribbons. Show all your imagination. If you sew a small loop to the heart, then the heart can become a decoration for your man’s car, and you won’t need to pick out a gift for.
According to the principles of creation, crafts made from felt are not much different from other materials. You can also sew a 3D heart or create a garland. In addition, from felt hearts you can sew a whole blanket! Your friend or mother will definitely appreciate this fake. It is enough to cut the required number of hearts and sew them on top of each other, leaving a little space between them. Such a product will become wonderful decoration bedroom or living room.
The advantage of the material is that it does not crumble when cut. Therefore, you do not need to trim the edges of each product.
In such a box you can give a gift to your beloved friend. If you make a box from thick cardboard, you can even store jewelry or small accessories in it.
Making a cardboard box is perhaps a little more difficult than making a garland or a card. The box requires precise calculations and minimal drawing skills.
For example, the photo below shows not the most difficult option heart shaped boxes. You can print out the diagram of the box on a printer and quickly fold it using ready-made lines.
Postcards with voluminous hearts look very impressive.
You will need plain paper or special paper for scrapbooking. Different patterns They will really decorate your card. You can cut out identical hearts and secure them with glue or thread on a card made of thick cardboard.
Hearts need to be attached in two pieces, one on top of the other. The edges of the top heart need to be folded or pre-screwed onto a pencil. This will add dimension to your card.
The difference between a toy heart and a voluminous fabric heart, for example, is that various stripes and appliqués are more appropriate here. If you are making a toy for small child, then you can sew arms and legs to the heart. You can also use colorful pieces of fabric and buttons to make your toy look bright and interesting. The main thing is that all materials should be soft and pleasant to the touch, and there should be more filler so that the product does not lose its shape during play.
