What do you think is given in most cases on this day? Of course, small and cool paper valentines that resemble postcards, but only they are made in the shape of hearts and decorated with love and care.

Nowadays, you can easily go to the store and buy such beauty, but still there is nothing more beautiful than making such original pictures and giving them to your loved ones.

Do you know where this holiday came to us from, write your stories below under this post? I think so, so I won’t dwell on this question, but will immediately start with the most important and basic, teach you and show you step by step different ideas crafts for Valentine's Day, let's get started.

You can, of course, knit such creations, or even sew them; I recently saw how they made a heart out of beads and even felt. By the way, for those who are interested felt toys I suggest you take a look at this one

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

I suggest making the first option for two halves at once, for example, a husband and wife, and hanging such a decoration above the bed.

We will need:

• sheet of paper
• paints
• ribbon
• scissors

Stages of work:

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

2. Cut with decorative scissors and thread ribbon through.

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

We will need:

• red colored cardboard - 1 sheet
• 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 from pink colored paper you have to make thin strips, which you cut as if you were making grass or something similar, twist each strip on a pencil.

2. Glue flowers onto the layout and you can optionally decorate it with sparkles and something else to your taste. The result is a slightly voluminous and at the same time elegant craft, which you can happily give to your mother or sister and tell them how much you love them.

And a similar idea that also captivated me also uses interlacing strips of paper:

But that's not all, if you use your imagination, you 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 handle 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 stencils in enlarged form. By the way, such crafts are called intertwined paper hearts.

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

And if you still haven’t 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. Anti-stress drawing, or as it is called coloring.

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

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

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

Manufacturing process:

2. Now take the paper pink color and cut into thin strips. They need to be cut in half in the form of “grass”.
3. Using wooden stick, wrap pink paper to make a flower.
4. Now cover the base of the heart with paper flowers and write a message inside.

You can also make a big heart. To do this, take cardboard as a basis, for example from any box, and stick a lot of small hearts of red, pink or scarlet on it.

Or, for example, you can create a whole picture. Take white sheet paper, stick hearts different shapes, bend some of them and insert them into the frame. Everything is brilliantly simple.

Or make a voluminous valentine. To do this, cut out several hearts different sizes, then glue or sew the small one to the large one, and so on, decreasing in size, bending it in the middle. Everything is ready!!
