Friends, hello everyone! Today I wanted some romance, a beautiful manifestation of feelings. What better way to do this than hearts? That is why I will tell you how to make a heart with your own hands.
Hearts are generally my favorite theme - I often give them to family and friends. They are so versatile that they are suitable for literally any holiday, from the classic (February 14) to the exotic (Halloween, for example). If it weren’t for the time limit, I would have churned out hundreds of these wonderful things and overwhelmed everyone I knew))
The variety today will be terrible - from unusual paper ideas to mind-blowing fantasies made of wire. For every taste and color, so to speak.
How to make a heart with your own hands: amazing... simple
I have prepared as many as three dozen ideas for you, so there will be clearly plenty to choose from.
Heart made of balloons
You can make an amazing heart with your own hands if you prepare two long balls (from which you can also twist different animals), thick threads, scissors and silicate glue (you can try experimenting with other glues, the main thing is that they are transparent).
The process is simple: inflate the balloons as in the photo and wrap them with threads soaked in glue. You can apply several layers to make the structure more weighty. After the glue has dried, the balls need to burst and be removed from the finished frame. The tubes then need to be glued together, slightly cutting one. All that remains is to hang it up.
Paper heart
Gentleman
This is a two-in-one craft: you can make a designer box or leave it as a valentine. Probably, this can even be called an almost three-dimensional postcard due to the presence of an intermediate box between the two halves of the hearts.
You will need cardboard or thick paper, scissors, glue, satin ribbon and decorative elements. Cut out all the parts according to the photo and connect. If you want to make a box, then make this one too (numbers 6-7). Glue everything together.
Envelope
Very simple idea. A heart shape is cut out of paper, the side and then the bottom edges are folded. The corner becomes the closing element. If you loosely fasten the edges, you can write wishes on the heart itself in advance and only then fold it.
Heartbreak
To implement this decorative idea you will need several dozen hearts, make a cut in the center of each of them and glue them together. Such a composition can be placed not only on the wall, but also on a panel.
Tip: you can decorate a pillow with these hearts if you make them from felt.
Little Mermaid Tail
The unusual shape of this souvenir is achieved by repeatedly folding the cut circle like an accordion. After that, you just need to fold it in half and glue it.
Geometry of love
What better way to help you create this heartfelt card? The most important thing here is not to make mistakes with the folds. Great option for Valentine's Day, by the way.
Do-it-yourself heart for your loved one
Undoubtedly, all previous options fit perfectly into this category. But I want to especially highlight a few romantic models for this occasion.
From felt
A classic, but such a cute heart that can become both a separate souvenir and an element interesting project. For it you just need to cut out two parts and connect them with a “forward needle” seam. Before finishing, stuff the souvenir with padding polyester and sew it up until the end.
Tip: decorate a heartfelt gift with beads, sequins or buttons - then it will sparkle with new colors.
Clip
And again wire fantasies. This time the heart is intended for the ear. You just need to twist the wire so that it forms a kind of clamp consisting of two hearts.
Finally, I advise you to read articles about homemade gifts for your sister and dad - there are also ideas for homemade hearts.
This is where I end and say goodbye to you until the next article. Tell us about your impressions, share links on social media. networks and subscribe!

A very simple master class on how to create flower arrangement- a tender heart made of carnations. Such a heart will decorate and festive table newlyweds and will be a wonderful gift for your partner on the anniversary of the relationship.
To create a flower heart you will need:
- floral oasis (sponge, foam) - sold in flower shops;
- flowers;
- scissors;
- heart shape or cutter.
Carnations with their lush buds, silk petals and large flowers are best suited for such a composition. color palette- the heart can be made burgundy, soft pink and white. These flowers also have a fairly solid stem - making it easy for you to insert the flowers into your floral oasis. Well, among cut flowers they are real “long-livers”.
Let's get started. First, let’s saturate the floral oasis with water. To do this, place it in a container of water and leave it floating on the surface - as soon as the oasis sinks to the bottom, you can take it out - it has absorbed the maximum amount of water.
After this, we will cut out the heart from the oasis. The material is quite soft - you can trim it with a large office cutter or a special form, which is sold in hobby stores.
We cut the flowers almost to the very bud (1-2 cm) and begin to compose the composition -
A heart of roses for a wedding is a fairly popular wedding decoration option that can be used quite different ways at the celebration. 
Such a heart is a heart that can vary in size and color design(although hearts are most often used at weddings in red and burgundy color). 
Such unusual floral decor can be made either by a florist or by yourself. There is nothing inherently complicated about creating a heart from flowers for a wedding. 
To create such beauty you will need: roses of any color, depending on your wishes, a heart-shaped sponge and wire. 
To create the decor, you need to slightly soak the floral sponge using plant water, as soon as it becomes soft, take a rose flower and use scissors to cut it from the stem, leaving a stem about 7-10 cm long at the head of the rose. 
You can adjust this length yourself based on the height of your sponge workpiece. After you cut the rose flowers, simply stick them into the sponge at a fairly close distance from each other. 
After you have completely covered the entire surface of the sponge blank, cut the leaves from the remaining stems and attach them with wire around the perimeter of the sponge.
If you want your heart-shaped one to last for a long time, then before decorating the sides of the heart, wrap the bottom of the flower arrangement with polyethylene or packaging film, secure the ends of the film around the perimeter, and attach rose leaves on top of the packaging.
We continue the section original gifts for Valentine's Day, which you can make with your own hands. And today we invite you to make your own flower valentine. This is not a simple valentine, this is a heart-shaped congratulation made of roses and... delicious and juicy strawberries. You are unlikely to find such a composition at a flower kiosk, but by February 14 you will be offered such a gift, but you can try to make it yourself with the help of our master class.
So, for our Valentine we will need:
- floral oasis (you can buy this inexpensive device at any flower shop, it is inexpensive, and is a sponge that is soaked in water),
- red roses (you can take small ones, up to 50 cm long),
- toothpicks,
- salal leaves (or other greens),
- decorative pins,
- wire,
- ribbons,
- pruner (or knife)
If you purchased a rectangular piece of oasis, then cut out a heart from it with a knife and soak it in water. And at this time, we trim the rose buds, leaving a stem no more than 3 cm long; do not throw away the remaining stem - it will be useful later. Then we insert our buds into the oasis so that they are located tightly, thus filling the entire half of our heart.
Next, we take the leaves of salal (you can also buy this greenery in) or any other greenery and cut off the leaves, place each leaf on the end of the oasis, so that it overlaps the previous one, i.e. overlap To keep the leaves on the side of the composition, we secure the ends with a decorative pin. Thus, we cover the entire end of our heart with leaves, and also cover the second empty half of the heart with part of the leaves. Once it is covered, you can start filling it.
But first, let’s decorate our composition. To do this, take the remaining stems from the roses and cut them with pruning shears into sticks 1-2 cm long, take 3 sticks and fasten them in the middle with wire, and tie them on top with a red ribbon, and insert what we got on the side on top of the leaves.
Well, the final part, filling the other half of the heart. We need to fill the second half with strawberries, to do this we string each berry onto toothpicks, and insert the tip of the toothpick into the oasis. When the entire half is tightly filled with a layer of strawberries, we simply pour the rest on top of the first layer.
And one more small one, but helpful advice. Since this is not the strawberry season and it is quite difficult to find them, you can replace them with Raffaello candies that are no less tasty and loved by many girls, simply pouring the candies on top of the leaves and filling the entire half of the heart with them. We think that the girl will be delighted with this original congratulations Happy Valentine's day!
As a result, you should end up with such an unusual and beautiful, fragrant and tasty Valentine’s card.
