Hi all! With the beginning of February, we have preparations for two holidays. One of them falls on February 14, the other on February 23.
In this regard, we have the worries and troubles of congratulating our relatives, friends, acquaintances and loved ones on these significant events.
Although St. Valentine's Day came to our country from abroad, it successfully took root and became a favorite holiday. Everyone is happy to congratulate friends, acquaintances and relatives either with a paper “Valentine” or.
Many people strive to purchase some kind of gift, from a plush toy or magnet to various accessories related to the work or hobby of a loved one.
Store-bought gifts are, of course, good, but on Valentine’s Day it’s nice to receive something handmade. Of course, this handmade gift should have a decent appearance and be pleasing to the eye.
On this day it is customary to give valentines.
And a Valentine craft decorated with a small quatrain will warm your soul and speak about the sincerity of your feelings. Still, you tried, and spent time and effort on this, and invested a piece of yourself into the gift. Although, of course, it depends on who you want.
It is best to make homemade hearts together with children. Gluing, embroidering, decorating is a wonderful way to involve your child in needlework.
You can make a Valentine card not only from paper, but also from fabric, such as felt.
We take the material and cut out two identical heart shapes from it. We sew along the edge with thread or braid. Leaving a small gap in the side seam, fill the heart with cotton wool, padding polyester, or whatever you have on hand. After this we stitch to the end. The heart is ready. Now it can be used for any decoration. You can put it on a stick and put it in a vase, you can make a tree out of several of these hearts.
You can draw a cute face and place such a craft on the table during a festive dinner.
You can make not only voluminous hearts from felt. If you take a strip of fabric and sew it, bending it in the shape of a heart, as in the picture,
then after this, cutting the felt into strips, we will get this nice product:
You can make garlands from these hearts and attach them under the ceiling or on a window.
Tree of hearts. Look at this photo, what a wonderful craft. You can decorate a real small tree in your yard with hearts.
First, you need to make a template out of paper, drawing the desired composition on it, and then, in the form of an applique, make the craft itself.
An original gift would be a heart-shaped oven mitt for the kitchen.
The main thing is that such a gift will remain for a long time.
Paper Valentines
Paper crafts are called origami. Creating origami is a very exciting activity that will appeal not only to children, but also to adults.
Making a simple heart like this is not at all difficult:
By bending the craft correctly according to the diagram below, we get a wonderful paper heart. It doesn’t take long to make and is perfect if you forgot to congratulate someone, but you need to do it quickly.
You can also make a heart as a bookmark for a book.
Below is a diagram of how to make such a bookmark from plain paper. According to this scheme, taking any color, preferably pink, you can make a rather original gift for a book lover.
And another original gift made of paper – a heart-box. I hope everyone can figure out for themselves how to use such a gift.
Making such a craft is also easy. Having created a blank based on the principle of a paper cube, we fold it into a box.
Take it into service.
Master class on making valentines step by step
There are a lot of different options for valentines. It all depends on the creative approach. Almost every craftsman creates his own original masterpiece.
Valentine boat
For example, a very interesting idea for such a valentine-boat. Everything is very simple here. Let's remember our childhood and make a boat out of paper.
That's all, the gift is ready.
Volumetric postcard
If you want to make a Valentine card with a wish or recognition, use this option.
We take red cardboard for the base and several sheets of paper of different colors for the hearts. Fold the red cardboard in half. Cut out regular hearts from colored cardboard. To make them varied, you can openly cut each one along the edges. You can use a hole punch or special scissors. Remember how you made snowflakes for the New Year.
The cut out hearts must be folded in half and glued along the fold to each other. After that, glue them to the red base of the card.
All that remains is to write a congratulation on a small piece of paper and stick it next to the heart. The postcard is ready, you can go congratulate.
Patterns for fabric valentines
For those who like to sew with their own hands, here are some interesting patterns.
Valentine Bear:
And this is a pattern for another little animal – a mouse:
If you want to sew a Valentine's card in the form of a pillow, this pattern will help you. One half of it is shown here. But, as you might guess, the second is completely similar.
And another wonderful template for a family valentine. True, all the signatures are not made in Russian, but I think everything is clear even without them.
Making DIY valentines with children
Making any crafts with children, not just valentines, is a good activity. We work with our beloved children and teach them to be creative.
If your child is old enough and able to handle a needle, then you can make crafts from fabric with him. With younger children it is better to use paper.
A good option is applique. You can use various available materials. For example, cardboard, glue and cotton pads. As a result, we get a heart like this.
With a small child, you can make such a wonderful postcard, where the baby’s palm is printed.
Or this seemingly simple postcard, but made by a child, it will not leave anyone indifferent to whom it is presented.
Well, this is such a wonderful craft. I would recommend doing it for your child too.
In general, give your child an idea, I’m sure he’ll do the rest himself and handle it perfectly.

This non-Russian holiday has long taken root with us. We are happy to celebrate the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity on July 8th, and Valentine's Day on February 14th. This is probably because we are so loving.
So, for the upcoming holiday, I propose to sew a couple of love cats-hearts.
Sewing them is very simple, even a teenager can do it. And the cost of materials and time is absolutely nothing. Literally in one evening, a heartfelt gift for your loved one, made with your own hands, will be ready.
So let's get started.
For work we will need: cotton fabric of two colors, holofiber, floss threads, beads for eyes, a pair of wooden hearts, threads, a needle, scissors and... a sewing machine.
We transfer the pattern to the fabric, folded in half, right sides inward. You can choose the size yourself.
We sew it on the machine, leaving a small space under the tail so that later we can stuff it with holofiber. Then we cut it out, departing from the line 5 mm. You may find it more convenient to cut out the piece first and then stitch close to the edge. Choose a method convenient for you.
Turn it right side out and stuff with holofiber. When stuffing the ears, use something sharp, such as a sushi stick.
Carefully sew up the hole through which the cat was stuffed.
Embroider the muzzle. Sew a bow onto the ear. On the belly - a heart.
Well, the cat is ready. The cat is sewn in the same way, only instead of a bow it is decorated with a bow tie.
That's all, the gift is ready.
Get inspired by an idea and create. Good luck!!!

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, 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
Card with hearts

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.
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.
