On Valentine's Day, it is customary to please your loved ones with pleasant little things. Of course, a small gift that expresses your feelings can be purchased in the store, but it is much more effective to make a “valentine” with your own hands, especially if it is original.
It is necessary
- - biscuit
- - glass jar with a lid
- - colored cardboard of different colors
- - scissors
- - glue
- - red ribbon
- - shiny paper
Instructions
Step 1
Bake heart-shaped shortbread cookies. Find the right jar with a wide mouth and screw cap. Wash it and rinse it with a vinegar solution to remove odors. Tear off the label as much as possible and boil the jar and lid for 5-10 minutes.
Step 2
Wipe well and dry the jar. Cover the jar with shiny paper. Use a photo or picture of love as a label. Decorate the jar with colored paper cut hearts. Tie the neck with a beautiful ribbon.
Step 3
Place the cookies in the jar. Close the jar with a lid.
Step 4
Cut two half rings out of thick cardboard and connect them into one ring so that the jar can fit inside this ring.
Step 5
Cut out many hearts of various shapes from colored paper of shades of red.
Step 6
Glue the hearts onto the cardboard ring so that the cardboard is not visible. In this case, the hearts should not be completely glued, but should touch the cardboard with only one of their edges. The result should be a real fluffy wreath of hearts.
Step 7
Place the jar in the middle of this wreath. Cut one large heart and two smaller hearts out of pink paper. Draw another small heart on the same paper, drawing a trunk to it from below, and cut it out. Cut out the same hearts from cardboard, stick paper hearts on them. Turn the big heart upside down, stick a heart with a trunk on it. You will get the body and head of a funny elephant.
Step 8
Glue two smaller hearts to the head. These will be the ears. Cut a small ponytail out of the same pink paper and cut the same ponytail out of cardboard. Glue them together. Glue the ponytail at the back so that it serves as a support for the pink elephant.
Step 9
Place the funny elephant next to the cookie jar.
Wait for your loved one.
As you can see, making a "Valentine" card with your own hands is not difficult at all.
