Any holiday implies a mandatory presentation of gifts, and the best, as you know, is the one that is made with your own hands. This is especially true on February 14, when it is important not just to give a present, because it is so accepted, but to demonstrate your own tender feelings to a person. Someone is limited to cardboard valentine from the store and expensive, but a banal gift - we offer ideas about how to bring a magic note.
What do you need?
A great convenience of crafts on February 14 is that it is possible to do them from almost any available material: from paper, plasticine, felt and so on. The main task of the one who creates a craft is to make it look beautiful and cute, caused a lunizing, forced gifted to tight, even if you had a very long time ago and surprise the soul mate, it would seem impossible. Hence, It is reasonable to choose as the main raw material that material in working with which you already have a certain experience, although in fact many crafts do not require any special creative skills - only adjacent and diligence.
In addition to the main material, it may be needed. The felt heart can be volumetric - then for it you need a soft filler. Any cracker outside can be decorated with various sparkles, beads and so on - it all depends only on your imagination.
In addition to the material itself, from which we will do a gift thing, you should be stockpons and suitable for processing the selected raw with tools.
In the case of paper and felt, it will be primarily scissors for cutting blanks, for tissues, as a rule, sewing accessories are also needed: a needle with thread and, possibly, thimble. For complex crafts it does not prevent glue, and if the author also wants to spite the product on their own, then artistic supplies (like brushes and paints).
Plasticine figures may require special tools for modeling, for example, stack. In people who are often engaged in handwork, all this, as a rule, is it somewhere at hand, if you still try your own forces, everyone needs to be taken in advance - it will greatly help in achieving an acceptable result.
Original ideas
The specifics of the Valentine's Day gift manufacturing is that all the presents put on shop windows for the holiday of all lovers are pretty banal. It is rather inexpensive souvenirs, which in most cases are made by millions of approximately the same patterns and always beat the same topic too taking too much.
Creative inclinations allow you to do something original, imprinted some interesting moments of our own relations, - such a present will not be associated with anyone else!
Having received the next figurine from the store, most people will be delighted, but will not take it like something unusual - In the life of an adult person, there were quite a few such. Whether it was if you tried and created a gift personally, be it pictures on a cup or even just a postcard, cute figures and other crafts, - this is the reason to set them on everyone's review at work, boast once again as your partner is lucky with you Just put in the office on the table to always remember the reciprocity of your love.
Initially, it is assumed that his own hand-made handicraft is something completely original invented by his own mind. However, we will be objective - Even among the recognized geniuses of art, only units come up with something truly unique, not inspiring what was already invented before them. So in this case - no one forbates you first ask how other people decide how to bring a note of our own vision and make such a crawl that only two of you will be concerned.
Postcards
Crafts of this kind with children are carried out in kindergarten - the manufacture of various postcards on the principle of primitive applications is included in the modern program for the development of the child. There, of course, all postcards for any reason are usually devoted to mom, whereas in adult life the result of labor will be given the second half. At the same time it is necessary to understand that What is difficult for children, an adult person will seem easy task.
The most banal option is to fold the cardboard card and over the heart cut out of red colored paper on top of it.
The color scheme can be changed - let the red be background, and the heart will be white or pink. With a more complex approach, it is performed from pieces, and the present creativity - if you count the postcard manually or make the contour of the heart from the fingerprints of your own fingers dipped into the paint. In addition, the heart can be embraced bright threads directly in the cardboard - it will be original, and beautiful.
Garlands
Such a craft of Valentine's Day is unlikely to be considered an actual gift or its element, but this is a worthy interior decoration, which allows you to emphasize the festive atmosphere once again. Garland also makes it possible to clearly show that the holiday is important for you, and you did not allocate on its organization some five minutes during the break between more important things, but approached the question thoroughly.
The principle of manufacture is actually very simple. From red paper, you can cut thin (up to 1.5 cm) strips up to 20 cm long, which fold in the shape of a heart and fasten with any convenient way - at least glue, at least a stapler. Separate hearts either merge into each other at the stage of manufacture or are connected to each other two ways described. Sometimes red hearts are made solid, then to create garlands they can simply drive on a thread.
The finished garland can be both horizontal and vertical. Such decorations often indicate the entrance to the cozy nest, where the holiday of mutual love will be celebrated.
Heart wreaths
Another popular version of the crafts you probably saw in the shop windows, but this attribute of the holiday can be done independently.
To begin with, a cardboard basis is made - a rim in the shape of a heart. We do not call upon anyone to treat irresponsible to the work performed, but also do not worry if the contour is not entirely ideal, is just the basis that will not be visible anyway.
The next stage is an external design. A cardboard "skeleton" can even be easily wrapped with red or pink dense threads, wool, cloth - just to the handicap looked soft and fluffy.
Solding samples are often completely sealed with artificial colors and look like a bouquet of "cardiac" form.
You can cut such buds in any convenient way or snatch, killing two hares at once: instead, you can salae with candy cardboard, from which half-sweet tooth will come to indescribable delight.
Topiary
Such a fashionable present will certainly like any girl - it's kind of like a flower-garden element, and a gift for the day of lovers. To begin with, we will surely need a sudine for the "flower", decorative stones for its filling, some beads or beads for decoration, and also piercing, but durable wire.
In addition, from something to do the "plants" - usually either artificial flowers, or any bows-ribbons, or very popular coffee grains today are used.
Whatever the flower part of the composition, which, by the way, may not be at all, the heart must be present in the cradle. Its frame gently wound out of the wire and insert into the pot filled with the pebbles selected by us.
As a stem, you can use even straw from the cocktail, but all the details do not forget to decorate red-pink paper, cloth or coffee beans And the top layer of the "soil" is reasonable to lay out beads. Artificial colors can be saved by the frame itself, making a kind of bouquet, or they will be separately, and the heart will "soar" above them.
Volumetric letters
This is also not so much a gift as the element of the festive decor, which does not diminish his meanings and will be nice even a rather strict husband. The volume inside the letters can be additionally filled with flowers or sweets.
And you can lay out the name of the second half, the word "love" and so on from such an alphabet.
It is possible to approach the production issue completely differently. - Even as we have already been described above in the case of a heart wreath or toopiary: inside there is a cardboard frame, which is simply tightened with red threads, a cloth or shiny colored wrapping paper.
You can make a frame in the form of a box, inside which will be hidden pleasant bonuses in the form of the same candies. Someone simply performs bulk hearts from red cardboard ribbons, which to the viewer are facing the end, but in several layers, and the letters of a contrasting shade themselves are glued on top of this total.
Photo Frames
Serious relationship is when there is something to remember. In our time, you can remember with the help of bright photos, but sometimes I want to see even so much a specific moment as the face of your beloved person in minutes when he is happy.
Accordingly, a beautiful frame for inserting a photo will be a wonderful gift for February 14.
By the way, one of the options for manufacturing the photo frames we have already considered the above - talking about Topiaria. The middle of the heart, mandatory in such a craft, is simply left blank, but with the ability to easily insert a photo that especially like your second half. Alternatively, the substrate is made of dense cardboard, and the contour for the photo is glued over the heart made from any soft material.
It is just a cardboard in two layers: a solid sheet for a substrate and an empty inside the rectangle as a retaining circuit, but then this outer contour should be abundantly decorated with cut-made hearts, beads, sparkles and other decor.
Farming hearts
This gift is fairly considered one of the most original and still able to surprise even sophisticated people. To begin, we need a beautiful clean bottle - necessarily transparent to the contents of it. Next, you need to make beautiful hearts, immune to the effects of liquid, - at home they are usually made from wood, but you can buy such anywhere in the store selling the decor, there they can be plastic.
Ideally, we need a bottle with a wide neck, then inside you can enjoy your hand and in any convenient way to fasten the hearts at different heights. After that, the bottle is filled with dense liquid soap, ideally - also transparent, otherwise the visibility of the hearts may not be very good. The top of the bottle, especially if the convenience of the sake of you cut off the neck, you need to decorate with artificial colors, as well as bows and ribbons.
Another option to manufacture a soaring heart with your own hands, see the video below.
Other options
For some reason, only those things that are made completely with their own hands are made by crafts, although in the original definition of this word nothing is said. In fact, You can take any gift from the store and simply "modify" it with your own hands so that it acquires and notice of uniqueness, and the elements of your own creativity. A vivid example: we take something that has long dreamed of the second half and, if the appearance of the product is not enough for its functionality, you have all the same hearts sliced from colored paper.
If the appearance of the gift matters or the presentation will have to use in the company of people where such a design is simply inappropriate, you can go to another way - to make a beautiful gift packaging.
In recent years, people have a little subsided about the wall newsnets, although such a poster is also a wonderful example of creativity. There you can collect bright photos of the pair, paint, why do you like each other, specify some joint dreams. This is not so much a gift as the decor, but if we considered the above garland, then why it is impossible to trust the wall newspaper - this is quite logical! In addition, you can apply a modern approach - instead of a paper poster on the wall to make a computer presentation in the same vein.
Ready examples
An unfounded description rarely allows you to fully imagine a crawler, so we have prepared several colorful examples for readers how to implement the described. The first one is a postcard with hearts pasted on top of it, which, in turn, form one big heart. It is possible that The cracker will have to redo the contour and pre-draw on paper contours of all items, but the result of slow and neat work will look very warm and cozy.
The second photo is two in one: and the trendy coffee beans in recent years in recent years, and a photo frame for pictures of lovers. You can decorate such an accessory any windowsill, at the same time someone is unlikely to make a mistake, suggesting, to which holiday this gift, though, notice, the traditional red-pink gamma is missing in this present.
The third example shows how with the help of simple garlands and volume letters, you can create an indescribable feeling of home comfort and a quiet holiday. which exists only for you two, and let the whole world wait. Multicolored threads, which are covered with a frame of letters, look very gently, accurately passing the whole essence of your feelings.
