A handmade heart is an excellent gift option for Valentine's Day, a relationship anniversary, or a birthday. It also looks good as a design element in a girl's room.
The presented product, in the form of three-dimensional hearts, attracts with its simplicity of the work process and affordable materials that do not require large financial investments. Despite this, it looks attractive and interesting. To make flowers, you can use corrugated paper, but based on the price category, ordinary napkins look no worse, but are several times cheaper.
Materials for production:
- cardboard;
- scissors or stationery knife;
- glue Moment transparent Crystal;
- stapler;
- pink table napkins;
- acrylic paints, brush;
- glitter;
- rope or ribbon for hanging.
Manufacturing process
1. Draw a heart on cardboard for the base. In this craft, a composition of three hearts will be made, one - 30 cm, two - 20 cm at the widest part.2. Cut out the hearts with scissors. A more convenient option is a stationery knife.
3. Paint the back of the hearts with paints. Here we use pink paint to match the color of the napkins. If pink is not available, it can be obtained by combining red and white.
4. Immediately, before the paint has dried, sprinkle it with glitter. They will stick directly to the paint without requiring additional adhesive. We decorate the back if the heart will be given as a valentine, or hung in the center of the room or on the windows. In the case where the heart is hung on the wall, it is possible to skip these steps and focus on the design of the front part.
5. Leave the hearts to dry completely.
6. The front of the hearts will be decorated with flowers. To make one flower you need two napkins.
7. Cut the napkins into single-layer squares.
8. Fold the resulting 8 squares like an accordion, one side measuring 1 cm.
9. Secure the accordion in the middle with a stapler. If it is not available, you can tie the accordion with thread. But this will require additional time and, possibly, the help of another person.
10. Trim the corners on both sides. You can, by cutting, make a sharp corner to obtain a flower, such as a dahlia or chrysanthemum. You can cut it in a semicircle, then the flower petals will be softer, like a rose.
11. Open the accordion. Gradually, carefully lift all layers towards the center.
12. Fluff the flower randomly to give it a finished shape.
13. Prepare the remaining flowers in a similar manner. For smaller hearts you will need, on average, 13-15 buds, and for a large one about 25 will fit.
14. Before attaching flowers, take care of the hanging hole. Make it using scissors or an awl, stretch a ribbon or string in advance for the loop.
15. Apply Moment glue to the entire surface of the heart.
16. Starting from the bottom, fill the entire area with flowers. Moment glue is good because it quickly secures parts, important factor For this use the first firm pressure is applied.

Bouquet of hyacinths made of corrugated paper
We will need: corrugated paper of different colors, wooden skewers or sticks, glue and scissors.
Step one. Cut the paper into equal strips. We fold each strip in several layers and cut it into thin strips (not all the way!), as shown in the photo.
Step two. We wind each strip of the resulting fringe onto a wooden skewer, which we then remove. As a result, we will get curls along the entire length of the paper tape, which we wrap around a skewer to make a hyacinth inflorescence. Before doing this, we dip the tip of the skewer in glue. To make the inflorescence more magnificent, it is better to use two stripes with curls.
Step three. We cut thin strips of green corrugated paper. We drip glue onto the lower part of the inflorescence and from this place we wrap the skewer with a green stripe to the end of the stem, where we secure it with glue.
Step four. We cut out two green rectangles of different sizes, and from them we cut out leaves, giving them a convex shape. Next, glue the leaves to the stem.
Step five. We make the rest of the flowers in the same way. Inflorescences can be made from two multi-colored stripes. The more colors we use, the more interesting the composition will be.
A luxurious bouquet of hyacinths, made by yourself, is ready!
Topiary “Heart” made of corrugated paper
We will need:
- pink corrugated paper
- trimming pencil
- tree pot
- cardboard, foam, glue and scissors
- tree trunk - any stick of suitable size
- elements for decoration
Step one. Cut the pink corrugated paper into equal squares and cut out a large heart from the foam. Next we design the heart using volumetric applique in the cutting technique. To do this, press the pink square to the blunt tip of the pencil and press it down, as shown in the photo. We have a tube-end.
Step two. Apply glue to the tip of each end tube and glue the element onto the heart. We continue to attach the formed pieces of paper elements until we cover the entire surface of the heart. We try to place the end tubes very close to each other.
Step three. We trim the finished heart with scissors so that it looks even and neat. We fill the pot for the tree with any filler. Next, we cut out a circle from cardboard along the diameter of the topiary container with a hole for the trunk, decorate it using the trimming technique with green corrugated paper and install it in the pot. We also cover the trunk with green paper strip, fix it in the pot, and glue the other end to the heart.
Step four. We decorate the tree with birds and satin ribbons. Decorate at your own discretion and flower pot. You can make such a wonderful souvenir with your own hands and give it to your loved ones or friends on Valentine's Day.

Cut squares from colored paper. We choose the size depending on the size of the heart, but the finer the details, the more delicate the finished work looks. The heart itself is also cut out.

3D HEART MADE OF CORRUGATED PAPER. MASTER CLASS
Even before the New Year, I purchased a small roll of bright pink corrugated paper from a craft store. Just the other day a roll caught my eye and I decided, what an idea for joint creativity?! Moreover, to do volumetric heart made of corrugated paper, there is no need to purchase additional materials. Everything that is required, I am sure, is in every home.
MATERIALS FOR MANUFACTURING A VOLUMETRIC HEART
- corrugated paper of suitable colors;
- cardboard;
- scissors, a stationery knife or a special knife for cutting paper/cardboard;
- glue stick;
- regular pencil or pen, felt-tip pen with a flat bottom.
HOW TO MAKE A 3D HEART FROM CORRUGATED PAPER?
1. Cut out a heart from cardboard. In my case, I made a cardboard heart frame by cutting out the core from the template.
2. Cut the corrugated paper into rectangles measuring approximately 1.5 by 3 cm;
3. Now comes the most important and rather painstaking work. We glue rectangles of corrugated paper to our cardboard blank. But first I let the child thoroughly tinker with the paper, and when it was my turn to bring our craft to fruition by February 14, I threw myself into work for half an hour. The principle of gluing rectangles is that we wrap paper on the flat end of a pencil, pen or felt-tip pen,
coat the workpiece with glue and glue the rectangle directly from the pencil to our heart.
To be honest, it takes longer to write than to do. The main thing in this matter is the progressive transition from one end of the blank heart to the other. And after half an hour, the volumetric heart made of corrugated paper is ready:
The use of such a voluminous heart can be very diverse: this is the decor of the room, and the use of the heart in a photo shoot, and even as a frame for a photograph of a beloved baby or for a family photo, or even for a baby’s hand made by . Looks bright and beautiful!
I hope I have inspired you to build such a heart. Older children will get to work with ease and enthusiasm, and the baby will be given all possible help.
Everyone is in a great mood!
