On the eve of Valentine's Day, it's time to think about beautiful and touching declarations of love. And also take care of the gifts that you present to your soul mate. The traditional heart-shaped boxes of chocolates and red roses, which are traditional for such occasions, are no longer a surprise to anyone. A completely different matter - valentines made by hand and donated from the heart.
It is necessary
- - scissors (stationery and curly);
- - colored cardboard and paper;
- - felt;
- - fittings.
Instructions
Step 1
Use the simplest valentine. Buy colored cardboard from a stationery store. In addition, you can buy self-adhesive pebbles, beads, hearts, ribbons, lace, etc. In general, everything you need to create a unique valentine.
Step 2
Cut a heart out of colored cardboard and decorate it with whatever materials you decide to purchase. When creating a valentine from paper, the decor fades into the background. The main role is played by the meaning that your card carries.
Step 3
Use ordinary buttons, ribbons, pins, clothespins, etc. to decorate your Valentine. In a word, turn on your imagination and do not be afraid to use even those things that, it would seem, do not belong at all on a greeting card.
Step 4
To create a fabric gift for your loved one for Valentine's Day, use felt (dense fabric that does not require overlapping). Use curly scissors to trim the edges of such a valentine, and it will immediately take on its original look.
Step 5
Come up with an original interpretation of the valentine. For example, place a pretty candle in a box of hearts, or use a message trick in a beautifully decorated bottle.
Step 6
Master the origami technique and create a valentine in this style. Such a postcard will be quite simple, as well as economical to perform. In addition, even a person who has never been fond of origami before can make it.
Step 7
Take a sheet of double-sided, square-shaped colored paper and fold it diagonally. Lay with the fold line at the bottom and mark the second fold line (in half). Bend the bottom corners of the resulting triangle to its top. Turn the craft over and fold its top layer in half towards the bottom. At the edges, fold the two top corners that remain. Fold the folded corners and turn them over. As a result, you should have an origami valentine.
