On Valentine's Day, lovers exchange cards in the form of hearts and present each other with pleasant gifts (flowers, sweets, photo frames, etc.). If you want to congratulate your soul mate from the bottom of your heart and create an unforgettable holiday, then you can present a handmade gift.
Box of chocolates in the style of Love is …
Necessary materials:
- miniature chocolates;
- chewing gum inserts "Love is …"
- candy box;
- colored paper;
- scissors;
- glue.
Manufacturing
A sweet gift, decorated with your own hands, will appeal to all those with a sweet tooth. To make it, you will need “Love is…” chewing gum inserts, which contain serious and comic expressions about love. You can buy the required amount of chewing gum in advance and remove the inserts from them, or find templates you like on the Internet and print them on a color printer. If you are good at a computer, then you can apply your own expressions, wishes or declarations of love on the wrapper.
When the inserts are ready, remove the factory wrapper from the small chocolates, leaving only the foil. Then we wrap the sweets with “Love is…” inserts. Now you need to arrange the box in the same style, for this we glue it with blue paper. On the front part we glue a heart cut out of pink paper. On top of the composition we put the inscription “Love is…”.
Bank with confessions
Necessary materials:
- paper;
- a pen;
- scissors;
- thin decorative tape;
- transparent bank;
- glue.
Manufacturing
Congratulations on February 14 implies a declaration of love, so a do-it-yourself bank with confessions can be an ideal gift for a loved one or beloved. To do this, we write a confession on a small piece of paper, after which we roll the paper into a roll and tie it with a thin decorative ribbon. We make 50 such confessions.
Declarations of love can be written by hand or typed on a computer. We put the decorated notes in a transparent jar, on which we glue the inscription "50 reasons why I love you." We decorate the confession jar with lace or a decorative ribbon.
Money rose
Necessary materials:
- 5-7 banknotes of any denomination;
- wire;
- green ribbon;
- glue;
- artificial leaves.
Manufacturing
If you plan to give money on February 14, it is better to give it in the form of a beautiful rose. Thus, you donate not only money, but also attention. To create a money rose, fold one banknote in half and fold the edges in different directions. This blank will serve as a bud.
We make petals from the remaining banknotes: fold them in half and bend the edges to one side.
We put the prepared banknotes on the wire, twisting the ends so that the banknotes are held tightly.
We form a rose from the obtained blanks, placing the petals around the bud.
We wrap the wire tightly with green tape so that all the rods are together.
We attach artificial leaves to the stem - this will give the homemade flower a more natural look.
Sweets poster
Necessary materials:
- Whatman paper or a sheet of cardboard;
- various sweets (sweets, chocolates, juices, snacks);
- multi-colored markers;
- glue Moment.
Manufacturing
A handmade poster with sweets will be an original gift for your second half for Valentine's Day. Various sweets (juice, chocolate, sweets, etc.) with suitable names are attached to the poster, and next to it are phrases that characterize your attitude towards your beloved. For example:
When all the phrases and sweets suitable for them are ready, it is necessary to lay out a sheet of Whatman paper on the work surface and think over the arrangement of objects. We glue sweets to the poster using Moment glue or a glue gun. It is better to tie heavy packages to the poster with thin decorative ribbons through the holes made with a clerical knife. Next to the sweets, write suitable inscriptions with a marker. If desired, phrases can be printed on a printer. We decorate the free space between the inscriptions and chocolates with sparkles, rhinestones and hearts cut out of paper. Alternatively, a heart can be cut out of whatman paper, then we will get not just a poster, but a huge Valentine's card with sweets.
Coffee heart
Necessary materials:
- coffee beans;
- cardboard;
- scissors;
- cotton pads;
- tin;
- glue;
- brown paint;
- White paint;
- wire;
- jute thread;
- green floral sponge;
- popsicle sticks;
- decorative flowers for decoration.
Manufacturing
A heart made with your own hands from coffee beans is a wonderful gift for a loved one. Cut out two identical hearts from cardboard. Wrap the wires tightly with paper and glue them to the cardboard heart.
Then we glue a few cotton pads onto cardboard to add volume.
We glue the second cardboard blank on top. We glue the resulting heart with a large number of cotton pads so that it takes on a magnificent shape, after which we wrap the figure with a rope.
Cover the heart with brown paint. When the paint dries, we glue the heart with coffee beans.
We paint the ice cream sticks with white paint, and then glue them to the can. We wrap the wires on which the heart is held with jute thread so that the ends of the wire remain bare.
Place a floristic sponge in a tin can and stick a coffee heart into it. We decorate the finished product with decorative flowers and bright ribbons.
