Valentine's Day in the vastness of our homelandbegan to be celebrated relatively recently. But its history, as the legend goes, began in Ancient Rome in the 3rd century AD. The ruler Emperor Claudius forbade his soldiers to marry, so that the legionnaires would not strive to go home to their loved ones, but would devote all their strength to conquering new lands. At that time, in the small town of Terni, there lived a priest named Valentine, his kind heart did not allow him to remain indifferent, and he secretly married all the lovers who came to him. He was canonized, and at the end of the 5th century, February 14, by decree of Pope Gelasius, was declared St. Valentine's Day. This date is still considered the day when lovers can openly express all their warm feelings, even if the object of adoration had not suspected them before that moment. At the same time, wonderful cards, bouquets of flowers and many other cute little things delight hearts and bring a good mood to everyone without exception. In this article we will offer several small master classes on creating original and cute gifts for Valentine's Day for girls. Volumetric heart of flowers for a girl for February 14Any guy can easily make such a beautiful heart with his own hands, it does not require any special skills and abilities, and the result will be impressive. You will need:

Plastic figurine in the shape of heart. It can also be made from cardboard and attached to the blank. The width of the base and sides is about 4 cm.
Fabric of two shades of red (can be replaced by a wide satin ribbon).
Scissors.
Glue (hot) and glue gun.
Needle and thread in the tone of the fabric.
A piece of scarlet satin ribbon for fastening.

If you have a plastic or foam baselick it aside for a while. If you have chosen cardboard, you should glue the edge to it and let it dry. At this time, we begin to create flowers. For each volumetric rose, we will need a strip of fabric 40 cm long and 7 cm wide. Fold each strip in half lengthwise. In order for it to hold better in this state, you can iron it.Now you need to stitch the strip as shown.in the photo. We choose a regular basting stitch so that later this strip of fabric can be gathered a little (approximately by 1/3). We do not cut the thread.We start to roll the future flower, as shown in the photo. It turns out to be something like a roll, the lower part of which (the one that is stitched with threads) is slightly more tightly wound than the upper one.We stitch the bottom of the rose so that the flower does not unravel.We create all the other flowers in the same way.You will need about 80 pieces, depending on how tightly you will roll the roses. Glue two pieces of satin ribbon to the back of our heart-shaped blank on top. The edges that you cut off must be melted over the fire so that they do not become fluffy and do not fray. Now we begin to decorate our heart with flowers. It is very convenient to attach roses with hot glue. If you have a foam base, you can use safety pins for fastening. This will be even more original, you just need to choose the appropriate colors for the heads of the pins.The heart needs to be glued on all sides.Once the glue is completely dry, don't forgettie a bow of ribbons and the heart is ready. There is probably not a single girl, young woman, woman or even grandmother who would not love jewelry. And if your loved one makes a cute little thing with his own hands, then such a gift is doubly pleasant. We suggest making a bright pendant for your beloved girl, which can be attached to a phone, as a keychain or used as a pendant. Heart-keychain made of beads and beadsYou will need:

Thin wire of pink color 0.3 or 0.2 mm.
The wire is dark pink in transparent braid 2-3 mm.
Decorative twisted cord.
Pearls of plastic or glass of different diameters, all shades of pink.
Bicones, golden color cutting, large beads.
Jewelry pins (pins with a loop on the end) 1 piece.
Connecting rings 2 pieces.
Thin ribbon 0.5-0.7 mm.
Tools for working with wire (nippers, pliers, round pliers).

The thick wire should be taken approximatelythree times longer than you plan to make the length of the heart, since it needs to be folded in half and twisted, as in the photo. It is necessary to twist as carefully as possible so that the turns are small.We bend the wire to form a heart (see photo) and secure the ends of the wire so that the structure does not unravel.Now we take a long piece of thin wire andwe fix it anywhere on the heart frame. We put beads of different sizes and colors on the free end and fix it on the other side of the frame (see photo). The line does not necessarily have to divide the heart in the middle. We fix the wire with a couple of turns. Again, we string beads, seed beads and a chopping block onto the free end and secure it on the opposite side of the heart.In this way, it is necessary to fill the entire internal area of the craft.Advice!When you have several lines ready, before making another one, you should first try on the string with beads. Then you need to put on as many of them as will reach the point of intersection with the first line, now make a turn with wire around it and again lower the beads. Turns must be made at each intersection of wires. The end of the wire must be hidden in the outermost row of beads.The next step will be to form a loop,which pendant we will attach to the cord. Take a jewelry pin and thread the sharp end through the heart at the top. The loop should be on the opposite side of the heart. Make a loop from the pin and secure the free end of the pin in the loop (see photo). Jewelry pins are usually made of soft metals, but to avoid hurting your fingers, it is better to use pliers.We thread a connecting ring through the resulting loop, and then another one through it.All that remains is to fasten the cord in the ring and the “Heart” keychain is ready to delight your Valentine.
