  • scotch;
  • dense red threads;

But you can do it even simpler. Take a piece of plywood of the appropriate size and cover it with self-adhesive wood texture - quickly and efficiently.


Cut out a heart template from paper. Glue the paper template onto the prepared wooden base with tape. Drive nails along its contour at intervals of 1 cm and remove the pattern. Align the nails so that they are same height.

To make a lace heart, attach the tip of the braid with glue to the bottom of the heart. Next, wrap the lace around the base, fixing it to the wire with glue. For an airy effect, do not fill the heart completely - leave gaps. At the end of the work, cut off the excess tape and glue its end to the wire.

Using this pattern, decorate the rest of the hearts using the selected materials.


Attach decorative hooks to the wall and hang a heart on each of them.

The original composition is ready. It will please not only the eye, but also the heart of your loved ones.

Valentines in the shape of hearts are cute, but they’re getting pretty boring. A very creative idea to make a postcard in the shape of a bear with a transparent tummy. You can write wishes on it or give it directly, there are no limits to your imagination. Feel free to experiment with the color of the bear and decorate it as your imagination dictates.

We will need:

  • Templates
  • Scissors
  • Colored or white cardboard
  • Cover film or transparent oilcloth
  • Stationery glue
  • Double-sided tape
  • Watercolor paints and brush
  • Pen
  • Satin ribbon

To begin, cut out the required pieces from the template below. You can print the template on a printer, or you can transfer it onto a sheet from a computer monitor. You need 2 bears, and 4 tummy windows.

Cut out the details, use colored or white cardboard, it all depends on what your Valentine bear will be like.

Glue the ovals together using office glue. The result will be a part that will serve as a border for the hearts inside the bear’s belly.

On the wrong side of the bear template, stick double-sided tape around the window, or you can use super glue and glue a transparent film cut from a cover or oilcloth.

Then glue the border for the hearts onto the tummy with double-sided tape. Cut out small colored hearts and place them inside the window, and cover with another transparent film on top.

Cover the bear with double-sided tape.

Glue the second bear template onto the finished first one. Trim the edges and smooth out any uneven areas.

Cut out a couple more ovals from pink construction paper and glue on both front sides over the tummy to cover the unsightly areas.

Then glue black eyes to the bear, a nose in the shape of hearts and details on the ears.

Use white watercolor paint to add highlights to the eyes and nose. Use a pen to draw eyelashes and a mouth on the bear.

You can also stick hearts on the paws and add highlights with paint.

Make a bow from a satin ribbon and glue it to the bear’s neck.

We got such a cute Valentine. I am sure that such a bear can be made with children and they will be delighted. Very interesting and original.

Video on how to make a Valentine card in scrapbooking style

Making a Valentine card from threads - easy and simple

By making an unusual Valentine's card with your own hands, you will certainly delight your loved ones with an original surprise. Making a valentine from threads is easy and simple - even a child can do it. The Valentine card turns out delicate and very cute.

We will need:

  • Threads
  • PVA glue
  • Safety pins
  • Cardboard
  • Food film
  • Scissors

The first thing to do is cut out the heart template. To ensure that it has the correct shape, you can use a ruler and compass. To do this, draw a square and mark the middle on both sides, from this middle, draw semicircles with a compass. Cut out the finished heart. You can also draw a heart of any shape yourself. It's up to your taste and desire.

Attach the heart template to the cardboard base and insert the needles along the contour at a distance of 1 cm between them. Then remove the heart template; it will no longer be useful.

Prepare the threads from which the Valentine will be made. Dilute PVA glue with a small amount of water and lower the threads there.

Squeeze the threads a little from the glue and, hooking them onto the needles, form a heart until the threads run out. Then use a brush to coat the entire heart with glue, especially the areas near the needles. Leave the heart to dry for a day.

Once the heart is dry, carefully remove the needles and separate it from the cardboard base. Trim any loose threads.

The finished heart can be coated with glitter nail polish and decorated with rhinestones. Or add artificial flowers and large beads. In general, give free rein to your imagination.

Attach the heart template to the felt with needles and cut out 2 pieces of a large heart.

Cut out one small heart from felt of a different shade.

Using a glue gun, glue a silver satin ribbon in the middle of the heart, then glue a white lacy ribbon on top of the silver one.
Glue a small heart on top of the ribbons in the middle.

Fold the edges of the tapes and glue them to the inside.

Take the second heart, a needle and thread and sew the pieces together. Sew on a loop.
Leave some space, stuff the heart with cotton wool and sew it up until the end.

For decoration I used artificial leaves, twigs and a rose. You can use whatever you like and have on hand.
Such a soft and beautiful heart will remind the recipient of you for a long time. It can also be used as a pincushion. It will be a universal gift.
