Quilling
This technique allows you to create very beautiful souvenirs that can serve as a separate decor or be part of the paintings. To make such a heart, you need to take:
- double-sided colored paper of any color, it all depends on your preference;
- PVA glue;
- a twisting device, for example, a pencil or a toothpick.
First, the sheet needs to be cut into identical strips, each of which will need to be screwed onto the selected item (we have a toothpick). As a result, you should get a large number of spirals of different sizes. Now you have to glue them together from the center to get a heart whose size you can choose at your discretion. In addition, you can change the shape of the spiral and bend them, for example, in the form of a “boat” and only then glue them into the desired shape. Such voluminous hearts made of paper with their own hands can be a replacement for postcards or serve as an interior decoration.
Origami heart
This technique is very popular all over the world. Even in childhood, many made paper boats and airplanes. These are the simplest crafts, but you can make real masterpieces. For origami paper “Heart surround” you need to prepare a rectangular sheet of any color.
Take a piece of paper, bend it diagonally so that a narrow strip remains free below. Now unfold it with the other side and bend the bottom strip in half. As a result, from the inside you will have a narrow strip. Then again, turn the sheet over and bend horizontally the upper part of the square so that the fold is in the center of the diagonals. We connect the upper edge of the lower strip with the bent edge and turn over the semi-finished heart. Now you need to expand the upper square, in the end you should see 2 diagonal and 1 horizontal fold. On these lines, you need to fold the upper square, so that in the end you get a triangle, and at its base - a narrow strip. The bottom and right corner of the triangle must be bent to the top. The left and right side of the figure itself bends towards the center. As a result, you should get a "house" that needs to be bent vertically in half and flipped. We turn the 2 lower corners up to the center, and below we get an acute angle. Bend the top down, and the remaining free ones need to be wrapped, directing in different directions (left-right). It remains to fill the corners in your pocket. And that's it, the heart is ready. Voluminous hearts made of paper with their own hands, made in this way, can replace a card for Valentine's Day.
