How nice it is to receive on Valentine's Day, which is celebrated on February 14 and dedicated to Valentine's Day, a small gift in the shape of a heart - the so-called “Valentine”! During my youth, such a holiday was unknown in Russia, and we gave gifts exclusively on February 23rd for boys, and on March 8th for girls :)
But the wonderful holiday of St. Valentine, not tied to any political dates and official celebrations, quickly fell in love with many, and became very popular in our country. Give and receive valentines, notice symbols of hearts everywhere and plunge into the atmosphere of general mild insanity - why not?
Appeal to mothers and grandmothers!
If you are young in soul and body, if you are in love, give and accept signs of attention! If you are only young at heart, but your body no longer wants to fit into the atmosphere of a youthful holiday, spit on his grumbling and pick up glue and paper - your body is still capable of this?! Make a beautiful and unexpected valentine with your own hands, show your children and grandchildren a master class, prove that there is still “gunpowder on our street”!
And even though there was no such holiday in our youth, we knew how to make crafts better than the current “generation of computer geniuses.” Hands remember!
Of course, you can buy a ready-made postcard. But is it so pleasant for both the giver and the one receiving the gift? After all, by spending effort, thinking about who you are preparing a gift for, creating a surprise with your own hands, you experience unique feelings of joy and anticipation - and this is the very, unique atmosphere of a REAL HOLIDAY!
Moreover, such a thing, amazing in its capabilities, as the World Wide Web, offers us many options and ready-made solutions, be it in a photo, at least in a video, in step by step lessons and master classes, with a detailed description and demonstration of the result.
This is the selection I have prepared for you today - choose the most interesting valentine option for you and - forward to creative success!
DIY Valentine's envelope made of paper - make with children!
Such funny animals that give valentine hearts can be easily and simply made from plain paper, together with children - I think they will at least not be bored! After all, you can invent and create absolutely any animal - a bear, a kitten, a bunny, and even one that no one has ever come up with before :) Show imagination in your image and accuracy in your work - and you will get a wonderful, original valentine in the form of an envelope with a secret message for the holiday February 14, and more!
What to prepare:
- a sheet of cardboard or thick white paper
- red paper for the heart
- glue
- colored pencils or markers or paints
- scissors, ruler, pencil
- Take a regular-sized sheet of thick paper or white cardboard.
- Fold in half, make a fold.
- Make a cut along the fold with scissors - we will get 2 blanks for our valentines.
- Place the rectangle as in the photo. Using a ruler, use a pencil to mark two points 2.5 cm from the vertical edge and connect them with a line.
- Do the same on the other side. The result is a kind of margin 2.5 cm wide.
- Now place a line on top in a similar way 5 cm from the top edge, putting two points and connecting them with a line.
- Everything above the line will be our character’s muzzle. On the side you need to outline two semicircles - the paws with which he will hold the envelope. Draw the paws below the horizontal line, stepping back from it about 1 cm down.
- This is the face and paws of the future dog that appeared on the sheet.
- Take scissors and carefully cut out all the contours along the pencil lines. If you are making a Valentine card with children, help them cut out difficult places - like in our example, the ears of the dog.
- We bend the lower part upward - corner to corner. We color the pencil face with colored felt-tip pens or pencils. You can also make an applique from colored paper - here only your imagination will tell you how best.
- We bend the paws over the top and draw claws on them.
- From a piece of red paper, cut out a heart of any size you like and glue it in the center. Be sure to use red - this is traditionally the case on Valentine's Day - for some reason the hearts are always red or pink.
- Now let's make an imitation of an envelope - draw diagonal lines from the corners to the heart.
- Open our Valentine's envelope and use a colored pencil or marker to draw writing lines inside our gift.
- You can draw several hearts - it will be even more interesting. Well, don’t forget to write the message itself - after all, any Valentine’s card is a declaration of Love and Friendship!
- These are the kind of funny little animals you can create. Colored parts can be painted or pasted with an additional layer of paper of the desired color.
DIY voluminous paper valentine - 3D hearts for Valentine's Day.
Very beautiful, three-dimensional Valentine's card with 3D hearts. The postcard is beautiful, but quite difficult for possible beginners due to the numerous folds and slits - everything needs to be done carefully, so immediately make sure your hands are clean, press the paper not with your fingers, but with the plastic handle of scissors or another object. You will have to tinker, but we will definitely cope with you, because we have step by step photos the whole process!
To make it we will need to take:
- 2 sheets of pretty red paper for the hearts
- 2 sheets of white cardboard (thick paper) standard size
- black marker or felt-tip pen for outlining hearts
- strips with rhinestones on adhesive tape for decoration
- a simple pencil, a ruler, scissors, double-sided tape (but glue can also be used)
- Fold each sheet of cardboard in half, aligning the corners exactly so that there is no distortion.
- Let's put one cardboard aside and work with the second one - the base. Place the folded sheet with the fold facing you and measure a line 4 cm high, which is 3.5 cm from the edge. Symmetrically make the same line on the other side. We make the cut exactly along these lines.
- Now we remove the concept of two-dimensional space from our heads and move on to volumetric 3D modeling - we bend the bend between the two slots in the other direction. The design should look like the one in the photo below.
This is the outer side, and on the inside (open our postcard like you open a book) you get this step. Did you manage? Wait, rejoice, these are just flowers! 
- Now let's wrap our step inside the postcard and close it, moving to the outside. The outside of our card should look like this. Now we must do a similar procedure with the inner fold of the card - we will put 2 cm inward and 3 cm upward from the edges of the fold.
- We make cuts again along the marking lines.
- To make it easier to bend the sheet in this place, attach a ruler to the ends of the cuts and fold the sheet onto the ruler, iron the fold line.
Now open the card again and redirect our fold in the opposite direction - so that you again get a protrusion-step on the inside of the card. 
Do this on the other side - now we should have 3 steps. 
- At this stage we could have stopped, but we are not looking for easy ways. Let's take it one more step! Along the inner fold we again set aside the markings for the last cut - 2 cm from the edge and up.
- But we will only cut through one upper fold (and not the entire thickness!).
- Thus, we have another upper small step. Phew, you can breathe out, everything will go much easier from now on!
- We take our first cardboard - it will be the outer, front side - we need to attach our “stepped” model to it. It’s convenient to do this with double-sided tape, but you can get by with regular glue - the main thing is not to pour a lot of it so that our valentine doesn’t wrinkle or warp. We glue both parts together and get a smooth cover on the outside and a stepped design on the inside of the valentine. Now you need to decorate it with hearts.
- Let's make a heart template - preferably 3 different sizes. Two or three large hearts, many medium ones and two or three small ones.
- Let's trace our pencil sketches of the hearts with a black marker and cut them out with scissors.
- Now is the time to show your artistic abilities - beautifully and highly artistically, with the taste of a true designer, we need to scatter our hearts at different levels so that it looks beautiful. If you can’t trust your taste, do it exactly according to the photo, maybe it will be good.
It is very convenient to attach hearts to pieces of double-sided tape, but you can also use glue. 
- Well, this is approximately how it all looks. Everything already looks elegant, but there is no limit to perfection - let’s do the last part of the design - decorate it with strips of rhinestones.
This is the kind of “heart-rhinestone” splendor we achieved! True, there was no room left for text congratulations, but with such an abundance of red hearts, words would probably have been superfluous! What do you think? 
“Heart in the palms” is a very simple and quick paper valentine. Can be done with children.
What materials are needed:
- red and White paper
- glue, pencil, ruler, scissors
- pink or red pencil (felt-tip pen)
- needle and thread
- We take our (or someone else's!) hand with a pressed thumb, put it on a sheet of paper and trace it. Cut out the palm stencil.
- We bend thick white paper (or cardboard) in half and place our stencil on the fold line so that the “little finger” is along this line. We cut everything out to the fold so that the card can open like a book.
- From red, double-sided colored paper, cut out identical squares, approximately 6 cm per side. On one of them we make a diagonal fold and draw half a heart. This will be our template.
- We bend the remaining squares in the same way, fold them one by one and, attaching the template, cut out the hearts.
- We sew the resulting stack of hearts with a fold in the middle onto the inside of the fold of our “palms”, leaving a knot of thread on the side of the hearts. Then we'll close it.
- We glue the halves of the hearts that are outermost to the palms with glue.
- We also glue together the two halves of the topmost heart, at the same time hiding the stitching marks.
- We outline the “palms” with a pink felt-tip pen, not forgetting to draw on the details inside - folds and lines on the fingers. All! Our voluminous paper valentine is completely ready - you can give your loved one your heart in the palms of your hands!
Making this valentine is very simple, but there are some supplies that you will need to prepare. In particular, it is difficult to do without a hole punch - to create identical, even holes, and special curly scissors, since cutting out all these waves by hand on many parts is not at all interesting and will not be possible to do evenly - and here the sameness of parts and accuracy are important.
We will need:
- pink and white paper
- acrylic paints(yellow and white)
- glue
- green pencil or felt-tip pen
- round head pin
- a piece of beautiful ribbon
- hole puncher
- curly scissors
So let's get started!
- We “clone” the heart template of the size we need to the number of 7 pieces from a sheet of pink paper.
- Glue the pink heart onto a larger white sheet.
- Using curly scissors, we make a beautiful edge treatment, so that a white wavy outline appears around the pink heart, reminiscent of processing with braid when sewing.
- We will need 7 pieces of such blanks.
- Each heart needs to be decorated with daisies. To do this, take a pin with a round head and, dipping it in yellow paint, draw the centers of the flowers - 3 daisies, as in the photo below. Around each center we draw white petals in the same way.
- Using a green pencil, draw leaves - two for each flower.
- Use a hole puncher to make neat holes in each heart. We thread a piece of holiday ribbon through them.
- We tie a bow and trim the edges evenly with sharp scissors.
- Our gentle valentine with a chamomile mood is ready. It remains to write on the back of the first heart the name of the object of our donation, and on the remaining ones - your wishes, and everything that you would like to convey in words.
Exquisite valentine using scrapbooking technique - Master class with step-by-step photos.
This is what a closed valentine card looks like.
By turning the paper lever, we open our postcard and there we see a surprise message.
To make this stunningly beautiful and elegant valentine, we will need materials sold in craft stores or scrapbooking departments (bookstores). There you can always find all the necessary parts, components and tools. It’s good that now all this can be ordered directly through online stores.
What to prepare:
- pink and white paper for scrapbooking (can be used for watercolors, or other thick paper)
- sticky half beads
- artificial flowers for scrapbooking
- piece of braid, piece of lace
- rivet with forked tips - brads (these are stud buttons with a flat flexible forked leg made of soft metal)
- glue and glue gun(can be replaced with colorless superglue)
- curly and regular scissors
When everything necessary is prepared, the process of creating a Valentine heart itself will not give us any problems - everything is quite simple.
- From plain white paper we cut out a heart template of the shape and size we need.
- Using the template, cut out a heart from pink construction paper.
- Tint the edges of the heart with a slightly pink pencil, a darker shade, to visually darken the border.
- We cut out a blank from red thick paper with a template applied to it, using curly scissors. We cut it so that the wavy edge protrudes beyond the edge of our template size.
- Glue the pink heart onto the red blank with a curly edge.
- Cut out a rectangle from red paper and paste it on top of the pink layer.
- Now cut out a slightly smaller rectangle from white paper and glue it onto the red one.
- And on the corner we will glue another small red heart. Our blank No. 1 is ready.
- Now let's transfer the heart template onto red paper with a pencil, but we won't cut it out yet. Our task is to make another red heart, slightly smaller in size than our template. To do this, inside the pencil outline we will manually draw another one - a little smaller. We will do the cutting according to it. This will be the second blank.
This is what it should look like when you put the second piece on top of the first. 
- For the second heart you need to make a bouquet decoration. Let's start with the ribbon - make two loops and glue them together at the base.
- We will make one larger loop from the lace braid and place it at the base, on the bottom layer. Glue this beauty onto the heart - place it not in the center, but slightly asymmetrically, as done in the photo below.
- Now we need 3 flowers. If there is a stem, cut it off to the very root. Using a glue gun, attach three flowers to the base of our decoration, covering the places where the braid is cut and attached.
- We transfer one half bead to our heart, gluing them along the edge of the heart.
- Now let’s cut out a “lever” from pink paper - cut a strip of paper in the shape of an arrow, cutting off the corners. Let's glue it to the back side of our second piece.
- Let's combine both blanks and use a sharp knife to make a small hole in the base of the heart.
- Take our rivet in your hands and insert it with its legs into the hole from the front side.
- WITH reverse side spread the legs of the bradsa to the sides and press tightly to the paper.
- So that these legs do not stand out, we will cover them with an applique in the shape of a small red heart.
- Check how our “mechanism” works - the upper heart should easily move over the lower one, opening us secret message... Which you still need to manage to write on a small piece of white paper. But that’s a completely different story... :)

Tricky question!
PS. Please share in the comments examples of your valentines - what did you give or make yourself, and what did they give to you? And, by the way, I have had an unresolved question for a long time - what is more pleasant - giving gifts yourself or receiving them from other people? How do you think?
Hi all. Friends, today I will share with you a template of a card with hearts for Valentine’s Day, such a card with moving hearts is not difficult to repeat in my opinion detailed description with photos, I will provide a video at the end. I'm sure you'll want to repeat this idea.
Valentine's Day is coming soon, although not many people celebrate February 14, but Valentine's Day cards have already become a habit. Valentine cards are not difficult to buy in a store or at a newspaper kiosk, but it is best to make them yourself with your own hands, because such original idea like mine, you are unlikely to find it on sale.
My original and voluminous valentine is made of paper; you can give it for Mother’s Day or just for your mom. For work you will need the following materials:
- Sheets of double-sided multi-colored paper.
- Glue stick.
- Stationery scissors.
- A regular pencil and eraser, just in case.
- Thick sheet of paper.
- Before you start, make sure you have everything in place.
For this Valentine's Day card, it is better to use double-sided colored paper, preferably brightly colored rich colors. Now there is a huge selection, ranging from regular for 45 rubles to coated for 200 rubles. In my version, I didn’t use regular colored paper and focused on sticky notes for important notes. These leaves are bright, colored on both sides and already have adhesive tape. I decided that this paper is perfect for a postcard with hearts inside, and besides, the price for one pack of multi-colored leaves is no more than 50 rubles.
I'm getting started step by step description with photos, a video awaits you at the end.
How to make a heart card with your own hands
On single sheets you need to cut out a heart. Choose the color of the heart yourself; it will be best if the colors alternate in any order you like. I can offer you this template to help.
Downloading the template is not difficult for those who have a printer at home, or there is a place nearby that provides similar ones. paid services. If you don’t have a printer or similar services, use my template, display it on the monitor and trace it carefully, attaching a regular sheet of paper to the screen. Let me remind you that the size of the picture on the computer screen can be reduced. On a smartphone with a large screen, this heart will come in handy.
Then we apply the template to multi-colored sheets, trace it with a simple pencil, and cut it out with stationery scissors. You need to make at least 7 such congratulatory hearts, and if you want to decorate the front part of the Valentine’s card with the same ones, then add three more pieces. A total of 10 hearts are needed. Cut it out and put it aside.
Roll up the sheet white so that its width is equal to the width of the heart, measure with a pencil, draw a line and cut a strip.
Glue one heart to the bottom of the strip, count one centimeter from its edge and so on 6 times, look carefully at the photo.
Then we take a piece of paper with the measured strips in our hands and bend each line. Glue a heart to the top of the line. I have a heart volumetric valentine already has a sticky edge, so I just apply it and press it with my fingers. You need to coat the top with glue with a pencil, then glue it.
We do this work, then turn it over to the other side and glue a paper strip to the edge. Cut it from the remaining white sheet; the length of the strip should be equal to the width of the postcard.
We apply glue along the edges and lean it against a pre-prepared base.Take a regular cardboard sheet of any color as a basis. I downloaded this template, printed it on photo paper, folded it in half, and ran my hand over the fold to eliminate any unevenness.
The waterfall of hearts in our moving postcard is almost ready. All that remains is to grease the edges and attach to the card. Hearts can be replaced with circles or ovals.
We pull the edge of the ribbon with our hand, the moving hearts flutter beautifully. At the end, we write a phrase to our favorite guy or girl, and perhaps to our mother, place the waterfall of hearts in place, and close the card.
On the front side you can glue several beads, a small flower, or decorate it with the same hearts made of colored paper. To decorate the card for February 14th, I needed three elements. I secured them diagonally.
Friends, now I provide you with video cards with moving hearts in the form of a waterfall.

1. Decorate the house!
Lovers' wreath on the door
Cut out a circle with a diameter of 30-40 cm from plain white paper. Cover it with cut out hearts. Choose the desired tone yourself - the wreath can be made more delicate, using white and light pink hearts, or it can be more passionate, choosing red and burgundy colors. You can make it in a trendy combination of pink and black or in a gothic style using black and red hearts. You can also choose different sizes of hearts - this will make the wreath more voluminous and textured.
Interesting option- a wreath of roses.
How to make, see our detailed.
If you want something more cozy and warm on a cold February evening, pay attention to the option.
You can decorate a door, window or hang it on the wall with a wreath.
Garland of hearts
We string the cut out hearts onto a thread. Very simple and beautiful decoration. Please note that the hearts can be strung either crosswise or lengthwise. If you string it across, it will work vertical garland, which can be used to decorate the doorway.
If along, then horizontal - such a garland can be hung on the wall, decorated with it on a bed, a window, or pulled across the entire room under the ceiling.
It's even easier to make a garland with clothespins. Then it is better to cut the hearts out of thicker paper so that they do not become deformed due to the clothespin. And of course, you can attach romantic wishes, favorite photographs, memorable candy wrappers and tickets to such a garland.
Romantic little things
Remember how, as children, we “grew” crystals on sticks in a saline solution? Try making these crystal hearts for February 14th!
The heart can be made from colored wire, after which it must be placed in a concentrated saline solution (gradually add salt to warm water until it stops dissolving). You just have to wait a few days, and to make the heart grow faster, change the solution to a new one every 2-3 days.
And, of course, candles! Decorate candle stands with hearts, but don’t forget about fire safety!
2. Make your own valentines!
The most important paper heart on this day is your Valentine's card. And you can make it yourself and it will turn out no worse than store-bought, even more original! For example, you can send...
Message in an envelope
We string 6-8 hearts on a thread and put them in an envelope...
You can write words on each of the hearts, which will form a phrase as you pull out the hearts. Do not confuse the beginning and the end when putting the message into the envelope, otherwise you will end up with “I love you, I am Zina” instead of “Zina, I love you” :)
A couple more options with envelopes - mini messages with nice words and compliments and an envelope that opens into a heart

3. Let's have fun with our colleagues!
To do this you will need plastic (and basically any) soldiers! On the hearts we write heartbreaking requests for help, such as “Elena Arnoldovna, you killed me with your smile!”, “I can’t fight these feelings anymore!” “I’m dying of love for you,” “I’m completely smitten by your gaze!” We “distribute” the hearts to the soldiers and place the regiment dying of love on the tables of colleagues, window sills and in the cupboard for coffee cups.
4. Have a romantic tea party
Cute tea bags. We have already written about this. You can decorate the entire tea ceremony in a romantic style.
However, you can drink hot tea outside from a thermos and, hugging each other, look at the romantic sky lanterns in the shape of hearts flying into the sky.
Let's launch romance into the sky
5. Making bookmark hearts
What could be simpler - take two hearts of different sizes and glue the small one onto the large one (only the upper part, and the lower bookmark will just “cling” to the desired page!)
6. Bouquets of hearts
We fasten 6-8 hearts together with a pin, attach the pin with the resulting bud to a “twig”, which can be a wire, a cocktail tube or a real tree branch. The flower is ready. We make 5-7 flowers for a bouquet, of different sizes and shades. We “decorate” the petals with wishes and compliments!
And this option will especially appeal to those with a sweet tooth - we secure the flower not with a pin, but with a lollipop candy
Ready-made bouquets for those with a sweet tooth
7. Delicious love. Cooking a romantic breakfast for your loved one
We will delight our loved one with goodies on this day. I will not include a recipe for baked salmon with exotic sauce in this article; there are many similar instructions on the Internet. Let's focus on the beautiful presentation. Pancakes and scrambled eggs can be prepared in special molds. You can cut hearts from all kinds of fruits and vegetables: carrots, strawberries, bananas, apples and kiwis.

Download the template.Cut out all the main parts of the crab from colored and patterned paper.
2. Prepare thick paper.
Fold it in half to make the base for the card.
Glue patterned paper for the background onto this base using PVA glue.
Glue wavy shaped paper onto patterned paper yellow color, it will represent sand.
Using bulk tape or foam, glue the details of the starfish and jellyfish to the “sand.”
You can decorate the sea friends of the crab with beads.
3. After you have cut out the crab parts from plain and patterned paper, you need to glue it.
Glue the legs of your paper crab to the card base.
Glue the crab's eyes to its body (or you can draw them yourself).
Connect the remaining parts using the same bulk tape or polystyrene foam.
4. Draw a mouth and write any wish.
How to make voluminous cards. Chick.
This card can be prepared for Easter or a birthday, or maybe there is another occasion.
You will need:
Wrapping paper
Thick paper
Stationery knife
Colored paper
Scissors

1. First we make two blanks for our postcard. The dimensions of one are 15 cm by 12 cm, and the second is 15 cm by 15 cm. It is on the second base that you will attach the parts. Bend 3 centimeters from the bottom edge of the base (see picture).
2. Step back 3 cm from the left edge and the same amount from the right and draw strips, the width of which is 1 cm and the length of 3 cm. Cut the lines with a stationery knife. It is necessary to make three such strips, since we have three parts.
3. You need to bend the strips forward, and you will get a kind of stand for the postcard parts.
4. Glue the main part of the card to the inner one, as shown in the picture.
* You can decorate the card using wrapping paper. You can paste it over the base.
5. We cut out eggs from thick paper and decorate them. You can use circles cut out of colored paper or made with a stapler, or stickers, glitter.
7. Glue the eggs onto the stands and glue the remaining parts.
Wonderful and very simple 3D card “Flower-heart” - a good option creative work for kindergarten age children for Valentine's Day. Children are capable of making such an original and cute surprise for their mother, grandmother, sister, and to please all their dear people.
To work you will need:
- Green cardboard for the base of the card;
- Green paper or cardboard for leaves (maybe a slightly different shade);
- Red or pink paper for the heart flower;
- A simple pencil, scissors, glue stick.
How to make a 3D card “Flower-heart”?
It's very simple and fast. First, fold the prepared green cardboard in half. The size can be absolutely any. On a sheet of cardboard, half or even a quarter of it. The main thing is that the segment is rectangular.
In the center of the folded cardboard, on the fold side, you need to make two parallel cuts, which will later become the stem of the flower. The width depends on the size of the postcard, so that the stem is not very wide, but not too thin.
The cuts have been made, now the resulting double strip needs to be folded upward and the fold smoothed. This will determine the boundaries of the future stem.
Open the cardboard and redirect the cut inward, while making folds in the center and on the sides of the strip to make a stand with a right angle. The base-frame of the 3D postcard is ready.
Prepare two rectangles cut from red construction paper. Fold them in half, and then fold one of them into the center of the other. On the top one, draw half a heart, starting from the fold.
Cut along the contour and you will get two identical hearts at once.
Cut two simple leaves from green paper or cardboard.
Everything is ready, it's time to start creating a 3D card for Valentine's Day.
To do this, first glue one heart to the stem, and then another on the other side. You need to try to glue them as much as possible closer friend to a friend so that there is no gap.
Now add leaves at the bottom and the 3D heart-shaped flower postcard is ready.
Children can experiment with different shades green frame and leaves, perhaps someone will like it better in turquoise or blue color. The flower itself can also be different - pink, red, orange.
