For several years now, this day has ceased to be just a holiday for lovers. “Valentines” are already given by children: to girlfriends and friends, parents, grandparents, teachers. There is nothing wrong with our children learning to express their feelings from an early age. This day has been celebrated for a long time. This holiday is associated with a touching and sad story. In the III century AD. Roman emperor Claudius II issued a decree forbidding people to marry. He believed that marriage kept men at home.

You can make it in a fashionable combination of pink and black or in a gothic style - using black and red hearts. The size of the hearts can also be chosen differently - so the wreath will turn out to be more voluminous and textured.

If along, then horizontal - such a garland can be hung on a wall, decorate a bed, a window with it, or drag it across the entire room under the ceiling.

It is even easier to make a garland with clothespins. Then it is better to cut out hearts from thicker paper so that they do not deform due to clothespins. And of course, you can attach romantic wishes, favorite photos, memorable candy wrappers and tickets to such a garland.

Remember when we were kids growing crystals on sticks in a saline solution? Try to make such crystal hearts by February 14th!

And so they buy the most expensive gifts, do the craziest things, put on real shows in order to please their loved one.

The art of making valentines does not require abstruse skills or expensive materials. It is enough just to make an almost naive heart-shaped card, but be sure to put a piece of your soul into it. From such crafts, your beloved heart will open to meet your feelings, better than from a love potion. So do not hesitate for a minute and get down to needlework.

From small pieces of colored paper, twist the “buds” and arrange them like a bouquet on a white sheet of cardboard.

And yes, do not forget about a bouquet of fresh flowers)

So, the easiest and, at the same time, quite creative way to create a heart card is a button mosaic. By the way, this material is adored by many lovers of needlework. They are especially convenient for making applications. And postcards decorated with buttons are especially cozy, because they show the features of cute childish touchingness and warm sincerity. You can do it in the simplest way by laying out a heart appliqué from buttons of the same color. Or you can make a rainbow heart from multi-colored buttons: first lay out a small heart in the center of three scarlet buttons, and then make a circle around a row of light buttons of the same color, for example, white. Then another one is drawn along this stroke, but already from red buttons. So you can continue until you have enough time, strength and buttons. And if you wish, you can make a valentine card in the form of a real button tree, the trunk of which you just need to draw on the card or cut it out of cardboard, or you can even lay it out of ropes or vines.

Here is such a prospectus card, made in several techniques at once: quilling, scrapbooking, mosaic and photo collage.

If you make the card small, you can carry it in your wallet.

It also looks very cute Valentine with a bouquet of buttons. First you need to put the smallest button on top of the big one, and then stretch the wire through both pairs of holes, decorate this center with the outlines of petals cut out of cardboard, pierce the cardboard in the center with the same wire. The ends of the wire are twisted, resulting in a stem for the flower. If desired, sheets of paper can also be put on this leg.

Children's Valentine will look so harmonious in a heart-shaped envelope.

And this is how the envelope itself is made in the shape of a heart.

Very beautiful cards for Valentine's Day are obtained from beads strung on a wire and attached to a cardboard base. For such a homemade product, you need to string beads of various shapes and sizes onto a fishing line or wire, while adhering to the same tone, with a slight deviation. The wire with strung beads must be bent in the shape of a heart and glued. True, one cannot do without romantic inscriptions on a postcard.

Such a card with voluminous hearts is within the power of real loving craftswomen.

We will need scrapbooking paper, a patterned hole punch, scissors, an envelope and a sewing machine.

Use a hole punch to make hearts.

Now we attach two hearts.

Machine sew hearts.

Cut off the threads.

Fold over the top hearts.

Here we have such a wonderful postcard for Valentine.

Now is the time to sign the postcard and pack it in an envelope.

You can make an incomparable valentine card with a sprinkling of beads. To do this, glue should be applied to the designated place and sprinkled with beads. After the glue has hardened, the extra beads are shaken off the valentine or swept away with a soft brush. But if there are gaps, then you need to drop glue on them again and sprinkle with beads.

The pinnacle of craftsmanship looks like a valentine made of plastic, which can be purchased at stationery. By the way, mastic is outwardly similar to plasticine, but differs only in that products from it can be baked in the oven, as a result of which it will turn into hard, durable plastic. Believe me: most molded fridge magnets are made from this material - plastics. It is very convenient for needlework, so cute hearts are easily molded from it. They can be studded with beads, rhinestones, buttons and any other little things suitable for such a design. The craft is baked in a non-hot oven for about 3 minutes. And when the heart has cooled down, you can safely attach it to a postcard. And one more secret: to make the heart look shiny and smooth, it should be polished first with fine sandpaper, then with a denim rag, and at the end - varnish the product. Any varnish is suitable for this: yacht, furniture, manicure varnish or even hairspray.

And here is another wonderful postcard with confetti from newspapers and colored paper.

For such a postcard, do not forget to make a red envelope.

And how to make such a postcard will tell the video.

A postcard for Valentine's Day, or just a Valentine's Day, is one of the main symbols of Valentine's Day. That is why many truly put their soul into its creation. A hand-made valentine's card is a symbol of tender and reverent attitude towards a partner, care and attention to him. Couples who have been together for a long time or have a great sense of humor can add fun elements to the love theme. But most lovers on this day prefer romantic motives. For those who do not know how to make a Valentine's Day card with their own hands, there are many ways and techniques, from elementary to requiring certain skills and abilities.

Paper valentines

A paper valentine is the most common type of card for this holiday. There is a huge variety of techniques in which you can create a real masterpiece with paper, glue and scissors.

Application

One of the simplest and most time-tested methods for creating a valentine is appliqué. It does not require artistic skills, while allowing you to show individuality. To work in this technique, you will need cardboard for the base or interesting scrapbooking paper, glue, as well as elements for gluing. These can be ready-made stickers bought from a bookstore or ordered online, images taken from the Internet and printed on a color printer, or your own collections of pictures. The advantage of the application is that the valentine is practically unlimited in size, and in order to surprise a loved one, it can be made up to A3 format.

Valentine envelope

This version of the postcard combines the features of the envelope and the message itself. For its manufacture, a large heart should be cut out on paper. In its center on the back, place a confession and fold the edges of the heart so that it takes the shape of a rectangle, and the message is hidden inside.

Volumetric valentines

Despite the apparent complexity of such designs, with a template, they are no more difficult to implement than any other option. To do this, it is necessary to transfer the contours of the elements to a sheet of cardboard, cut them out and connect them together. Volumetric hearts, as well as heart-boxes look very impressive.

Flowers valentine

This is one of the options for voluminous valentines, made from small flowers. You can make them yourself from colored double-sided paper or buy ready-made ones. Traditionally, red roses are considered a symbol of love and passion. It's quite easy to make them. To do this, on a sheet of red paper, you need to draw a spiral and make a cut along the line. The resulting tape is wound around a pencil or thinner base, starting from the outer end. Peeling the paper off the pencil produces a miniature rosette that is easy to attach to a heart-shaped base. Instead of roses, you can make carnations in a similar way, and decorate the finished valentine with ribbons or beads.

Origami

The ancient Japanese art of creating three-dimensional figures from paper is applicable to valentines. By folding several of these open, you can create a whole composition dedicated to the holiday.

Creative Options

Of course, there is always the option to just give a bouquet or candy as a congratulation, but for those who want to surprise their soul mate, there are also many interesting ideas.

fluffy valentine

To make such a postcard, you will need a thick sheet of cardboard and a ball of red woolen thread. From cardboard we cut out the contour of the heart 3-4 cm wide, depending on the size of the valentine itself, and wrap it with threads in several layers. The thicker and fluffier the thread, the more cute the card will turn out. A declaration of love or a joint photo can be attached to such a soft heart with a pin.

wicker valentine

You can weave a card for Valentine's Day from any more or less flexible material. It can be paper, cardboard, macrame threads. Production can take a long time, depending on the complexity of the model, but the result is worth it.

In addition to all the options proposed above, a Valentine can also be made:

• from wire, pulling it on a hard workpiece in the shape of a heart;
• from beads and threads, embroidering a message or a picture on the fabric;
• from buttons, creating a semblance of a mosaic and selecting buttons by color, shape and size;
• from ice. To do this, you need to prepare a mold in the shape of a heart, put decor elements in it and fill it with clean water;
• from smooth stones, painting them with water-based paints;
• from felt. There are many models for this option;
• dipping fingers or palms entirely in red paint, folding them in the shape of a heart and leaving prints on a piece of paper;
• in quilling technique.

Another original way to create a valentine is to order in a photo workshop. You can not only transfer the desired image with romantic symbols or a joint photo to a mug, T-shirt or pillow, but also order a whole collage.

The appearance of each handmade valentine will be completely individual, and its design is limited only by imagination and the desire to surprise and please your loved one.
