DIY Valentine's Day card

Step by step with photo

I will show you the sequence of making a postcard for Valentine's Day step by step with a photo.

♦ The basis of our card is a big heart. To make it even and symmetrical, we will prepare a template.

To do this, take a sheet of A4 paper, fold it in half and draw half a heart from the fold. Cut along the line and unfold.

If your baby is still small, you can make a template 2 times smaller from half a sheet.

♦ Place our template on a sheet of cardboard, trace it, and carefully cut it out.

♦ On the resulting heart, trace your child’s palm on the right side.

♦ Next, take several white and red napkins and cut each into 4 equal parts (by eye). Napkins are usually folded into fours, so we also cut all the side connections. You should get thin single-layer squares.

Children usually like this activity. If they have never encountered this before, show them how to do it correctly. This exercise is very useful for.

♦ When we have prepared quite a lot of balls, we begin to glue them to the base of the card.

First, glue the white lumps inside the drawn palm. To do this, spread the glue in small areas and place our balls on it close to each other, pressing with your hand.

♦ The final touch remains. Glue a beautiful flower on the left side.

To do this, we drew a petal on yellow paper folded several times and cut it out. A total of 8 pieces are needed.

We glued them with one edge to a circle cut out of cardboard, and the orange middle on top.

You can make another flower to your taste from any bright color.

Cut out 2 leaves from green paper.

Glue our flower on the left side.

Here we have our big original “Heart” with a palm.

It wouldn't be superfluous if back side write good wishes, of course, if you want.

Such a card can be given not only for Valentine's Day, but also for other holidays, for example, March 8 or a birthday.

I hope you liked our DIY Valentine's Day card. You might also want to make something similar with your child as a gift to your loved one. I wish everyone happiness, joy and love!

How to make a Valentine's Day card with your own hands? For children, any holiday is an important event in their little lives, and, of course, Valentine's Day is no exception.

It is on this day that they can show all their kindness, affection, confess their warmest feelings not only to their closest people, but also to their friends. Therefore, children approach the process of preparing for the Valentine's Day very responsibly.

An indispensable attribute of any holiday are postcards - on Valentine's Day every child tries to make them with their own hands, because it is the symbolic one that serves on this day as a kind of recognition of the brightest and warmest feelings.

DIY Valentine's Day cards can be made using various techniques. We propose to consider the most interesting and accessible of them.

Card with heart and roses

A very simple but effective card for Valentine's Day - a card with a heart and roses. For the craft we will need colored paper, glue, scissors and pencil.

Roll colored red or dark pink construction paper into a roll and cut the roll into small pieces.

We fix the ends of the rolled paper with glue. We should get paper curls that are not very dense. Glue the curls onto the pre-prepared heart. We place the heart on the base of the postcard - pale green cardboard folded in half.

We make triangular curls from green paper - fold the paper in several layers and cut into pieces. Glue on the green curls. A gentle and elegant card for Valentine's Day is ready!

Valentine's Day card "heart with roses"

Glitter card with heart

Unique card with glitter. It is made using stencils, checks and glitter. Prepare glue, glitter, a heart template and arrow outlines in advance. The latter is easy to do by cutting out an arrow from cardboard with a stationery knife, without disturbing the integrity of the sheet.

Fold a sheet of thick white paper in half. Place a heart in the center.

The paper around it needs to be blotted with pink paint. You can use special stamps for drawing or apply paint using a regular sponge.

We remove the template and place the frame with the arrow. An arrow that seems to be interrupted in the middle, as if piercing the heart, will look original. Lubricate the surface of the paper inside the frame with glue and sprinkle with silver glitter. Let the glue dry, then carefully remove the frame.

Gently coat the edges of the picture with glue and sprinkle them with silver glitter. To make the edge smoother, it is better to apply glue using an unnecessary sheet of paper with a smooth edge, slightly smearing it. When the sheet is removed, you will get an even adhesive edge, onto which you need to apply glitter in a dense layer. Ready!

Postcard with a surprise

A postcard for Valentine's Day, made with your own hands even from bright ones, can become a real highlight of this holiday and fill the whole day with joy. Postcards with a “surprise” inside turn out to be interesting. They are made from two sheets of paper of the same quality:

one sheet is folded in half;

then one edge of it is folded inward and unbent again;

on one side of the resulting fold line, a square is cut out, and on the other, the edges are rounded;

the part with rounded edges is inserted inside the sheet;

a rectangle of the same size is cut from another sheet;

the second sheet is glued outside the first.

It turns out to be a postcard with a heart insert inside.

You can make this heart more eye-catching by covering it with paper of a different color. The outside of the card is designed to your liking.

As a surprise, you can paste a photo of your child into your Valentine's card. Grandmothers will especially like this postcard for February 14th.

Card with heart stamps

It's easy to draw a big heart using small stamps.

A stamp in the shape of a small heart can be easily made from a foam sponge, an eraser, and even an ordinary potato. To make it easier to form a large heart, prints are made using a homemade stencil frame.

Heart card decorated with paper flowers

Postcards decorated with voluminous paper flowers turn out to be very beautiful. We cut the paper into fairly wide strips and cut them along one edge. We roll the strips into rolls and fluff the cut part.

We paste these flowers around the outer edge of the card.

By trusting your imagination, you can make the most original valentines to congratulate all your dear people on Valentine's Day.

This day is one of the most amazing holidays, which is thoroughly saturated with romance and tenderness. On this day, they present each other with gifts, an obligatory part of which is a valentine. In stores on the eve of the holiday you can purchase a wide variety of Greeting Cards. They can be of various shapes and sizes, paper, fabric.

But to make the gift truly unique and inimitable, it is much better to make it on Valentine's Day. Perhaps some of the simplest are those made using paper of various densities and colors. Here are some ideas.

Hearts on a string

To work you will need:

Regular cards for Valentine's Day (preferably they should be plain inside, without inscriptions);

Small pieces of cardboard or thick paper in red, white, pink colors (possibly with patterns);

Mini clothespins;

It would seem that the postcard has already been purchased, why come up with something else? But you need to make it unique and bring in a piece of your soul. Take a piece of cardboard and cut two thin strips equal to the height of the postcard. Cut a piece of thread equal to the width of the postcard spread. From prepared colored pieces of paper, cut out 5-6 hearts of different sizes.

On the spread of the card, we retreat 2 cm from the upper right and left corners and glue the ends of the thread so that it sags a little, as if imitating a clothesline. To hide the places where the thread is glued, we glue pre-cut strips of cardboard along the edges of the card. Now, using mini clothespins, we hang cut out hearts on the resulting “clothesline”, on which you can write words of love. Such cards for Valentine's Day will not leave anyone indifferent.

"Sewn" heart

To work you will need:

School cardboard white for preparing a Valentine's card;

A small piece of colorful fabric in a red shade;

Small solid red patch;

White threads;

Small white shirt button;

Glue gun.

How to make a Valentine's Day card using all of the above? A sheet of cardboard needs to be decorated with fabric. To do this, take a prepared colorful piece of fabric (felt is best) and cut out a beautiful heart from it.

At a distance of 2-3 mm from the edge of the heart, it is necessary to sew a “forward needle” seam with white threads to obtain an imitation of a sewn heart. From a small plain piece of paper you need to cut out a smaller heart and sew it to the large heart. Then attach a button to the center of the composition. Now the decorated heart needs to be carefully glued to the center of the title side of the cardboard blank - ready!

DIY cards for Valentine's Day with voluminous hearts

Volumetric valentines are always beautiful and unusual. To make the simplest option, you will need:

White cardboard for the base of the card;

Colored paper (plain or patterned) red and;

Glue and scissors.

How to make a DIY Valentine's Day card? We bend a sheet of cardboard in half to make a blank for a valentine. From colored paper, cut out an even number of small hearts (2 pieces for each volumetric heart). Now half of the resulting blanks need to be bent in half and glued along the fold in such a way as shown in the photo below.

"Air balloons"

This work in terms of execution technique is very similar to the previous version. These DIY Valentine's Day cards are super easy to make but look really cool!

Cut out several small hearts from colored paper. We bend them in half and glue them to the base cardboard along the fold line. These will be our “balloons”. Next, we make ropes for the “balls” from the threads.

How to make a Valentine's Day card in

This type of creativity is becoming more and more relevant and in demand. If you put in a little effort and patience, the result will definitely exceed all expectations! To complete the work you will need:

Base for postcard;

- (sold in stationery departments);

Glue and scissors.

Here you can show limitless flights of imagination. For example, you can cut out a heart-shaped valentine from a red sheet of cardboard. Glue small flowers along the outline, and lay strips of quilling paper in the center in the form of beautiful intricate curls.

You can also take a white sheet of cardboard. Use red and pink quilling paper to scatter several small hearts around the card.

As you can see, making your own Valentine's Day cards is quite easy. This is the perfect addition to tender kisses, passionate words and the pool of beloved eyes.

You can get several sheets of multi-colored paper, scissors and glue and make interesting valentines with your own hands, stylishly decorate your house in romantic colors, and beautifully decorate your holiday table.

For these romantic crafts you will need colored paper, scissors, glue, sometimes even wire and salt(!), but we can promise you that you will not need any special skills and secret ingredients that can only be “obtained on a full moon by spitting through an empty well.” » not required!

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.

An interesting option is 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. A very simple and beautiful decoration. Please note that the hearts can be strung either crosswise or lengthwise. If you string it across, you get a vertical garland that can be used to decorate a 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, just 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

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.
