Few people know, but the first postcard"Valentine" was born in the distant 15th century. The story tells of the imprisoned Duke of Orleans. In 1415, Charles, yearning for his wife, began to write her letters full of love. Fans of the epistolary genre liked the idea, and by the 18th century, small, hand-made heart-shaped cards had become very popular. They wrote declarations of love, witty remarks without specifying the addressee, and even made a marriage proposal. Over time, small souvenirs, often handmade, began to be attached to the cards. If the holiday is near, and you have not yet chosen a gift, in this article we offer several master classes with step-by-step photos on how to create cute souvenirs for guys for Valentine's Day. Car air freshener for your beloved boyfriendProbably every girl has encountered thisthe question of what to give your beloved boyfriend for Valentine's Day. We suggest making a small sachet that can be used as a car air freshener. This souvenir will not only demonstrate your warm feelings, but will also be very useful. You only need to choose the appropriate fragrances that your boyfriend will like. You will need:

A small piece of fabric (it is best to choose linen or cotton - "breathable").
Thin felt of different shades of pink.
Sharp scissors.
Needle and thread.
Pencil.
Sewing machine (you can sew and hands, but with the machine will be faster).
Paper heart in the form of a heart.
Sewing pins.
Dry aromatic herbs (mint, lemon balm, lavender, cloves, vetiver root, cedar tree). The choice will depend only on the tastes of your boyfriend.

Our sachet will be decorated with a multi-layered heart.from felt, each layer of which will be smaller than the previous one. To do this, you will need to cut out a template of the largest format (for the bottom layer) from thick paper. In the future, you can simply cut out hearts of smaller and smaller sizes from it each time. You can do it differently - cut out several shapes of different sizes from paper at once. Advice! To get a perfectly symmetrical heart, you need to fold the sheet of paper in half and draw half a heart on one side, using the fold line as the central axis.Of course, the size of the heart should not exceed the size of the sachet. Cut out blanks from felt of various shades of pink and fold them as shown in the photo.We mark the central line that divides the heart into halves.Now we take a piece of fabric for the sachet and cut itit into two identical parts. In this master class it is a square, but you can make a rectangular, triangular or any other shape. We put our stack of hearts in the center of the half of the sachet and sew it on the machine along the marked middle line.We put half of the sachet with sewn-on hearts with the second piece of linen fabric with the hearts inside and fasten the blank with pins. We sew three sides of the square with a machine.It is necessary to carefully trim the corners from the wrong side so that when we turn it to the front side, they turn out even and beautiful.We put dry aromatic herbs into the resulting bag.herbs or spices. You can even add dry citrus peels or coffee beans, having previously ground them into powder. Carefully fold the edges of the side that is not stitched. The length of the folded edge should be equal in length to the indents on the back side. If you plan to hang the sachet on the rear-view mirror in the car, then you should sew on a decorative cord at this stage. Again, stitch with some beautiful seam on the front side.All that remains is to remove the remains of the pencilwith a wet cotton swab, if necessary, and the fragrant pillow is ready. It is believed that men are initially stern and are alien to tenderness, but in fact, everyone wants to hear a few warm words and feel important and loved. In this master class, we offer to make an original gift for your loved one - a magic bag with 10 reasons for your love.You will need:

10 walnuts.
Hot glue and glue gun.
A sheet of white paper.
Scissors.
Fabric (in this master class pink coarse calico).
Cardboard is white.
Sheet of paper pink (you can use tear-off sheets of the cube block).
Threads with a needle.
Satin ribbon.
A small piece of organza or mesh for decorating the top of the pouch.
Acrylic paints with a metallic effect (you can use nail polish).
A tape suitable under a fabric of a shade.
For decorating beads and beads.

Let's start creating a romantic gift with cleansingnuts. They need to be carefully split in half. We will need the shell. The kernels can be eaten right away, we will not need them. We also remove the partitions. This is what we got in the end.Now you need to print or writein beautiful letters 10 reasons for your love. If you get more, even better, just don't forget to add some nut shells. Cut into thin strips and roll into neat little tubes.Cut out 10 hearts from pink paper (verysmall) or as many as you found reasons for love. Now the rolls need to be secured with a thread and a heart glued on top. In this way, we form all the paper strips.Place each one in a half nut shell andusing a glue gun, attach it to the other half. You can attach a tiny bow made of satin ribbon with a bead or beads to the nut. A glue gun is very convenient in this case, since you can apply glue pointwise. The finished nuts can be painted. If the shell size allows, you can also put in a small candy. The next step is to create a bag.From white cardboard, you need to cut out a circle of any diameter. It will serve as the bottom of our bag. Now from the selected fabric, we cut out two circles of a slightly larger diameter than the cardboard one. Now we need to cover our cardboard base with fabric on both sides. Do not forget to turn the fabric on both sides to the front side.Now you need to cut off another piece of calico.the width equal to the length of the circle of fabric + about 1 cm for the seam. Now you need to sew the segment along the length. We got a cylinder, to one side of which we sew our bottom. Do not forget to bend the upper edge of the bag a little and sew it so that it turns out even and neat.Stepping back a little from the top edge, we go alongaround the entire circle with a basting stitch so that the edges of the bag can be pulled together. Sew a ribbon along the bottom edge. Tie a bow from it in the same way and attach it to the place where the cord is located, pulling the edge of the bag together.Decorate the top with a piece of organza or mesh (optional). Put nuts in the bag. You can add a crumbled valentine, where you will indicate the instructions for your gift.This wonderful souvenir is universal, it can be given not only on February 14. Use the idea and come up with your own original declaration of love.
