• white thick paper;
• plate;
• pencil;
• napkins: red, white with the image of a heart or cupid;
• glue;
• scissors.

Manufacturing process:

Place the plate upside down on a piece of paper and trace it with a pencil. The resulting circle must be cut out with scissors. Then you need to turn the plate over, put the paper inside and press it well. You will get folds. Next, you need to take a napkin with a pattern of an angel and a heart and glue it in the center of the “plate”. We cut off all excess. Next, red and white single-color napkins need to be torn into pieces. Each piece must be rolled into a ball and glued to the folds of the workpiece. That is, along the rim of the plate. Balls can be glued in one color (white or red), or both at once. In the second case, the craft turns out colorful and solemn.

Postcard

To work you will need:

• thick paper;
• scissors;
• self-adhesive shiny paper;
• bow-shaped pasta;
• plasticine;
• gouache;

Manufacturing method:

Any color of paper is suitable for this craft. The sheet must be folded in half. On one of the resulting flaps you need to draw a heart and cut it out along the contour. Next, take multi-colored self-adhesive paper and cut into strips. If you use single-color paper, you don’t have to do this, but simply cut out a square slightly larger than the cut out template. The width of the ribbons does not matter, and the length should be 2 centimeters longer than the cut out heart. Next, from the middle of the card, you need to glue these strips to the place of the cut out heart. After this, you need to take plasticine, preferably the same color as the thick paper used, and make very small balls. They need to be attached to paper, around the heart. You need to fix the pasta onto these balls. Bows must be covered with glue or painted with gouache.

• wooden ice cream sticks;
• plastic juice cap;
• plasticine;
• sheets of colored paper;

Cooking method:

You need to cut out three hearts from multi-colored paper. Each should be different in size and color. On the largest heart you need to glue a smaller piece, placing it in the center. Attach the smallest heart to it in the same way. When the craft dries, you need to take a little plasticine and fix it on the back of the hearts. Attach a popsicle stick to it. Also glue a piece of plasticine to the other end of the stick and place it on the plastic lid.

For this craft you will need:

• red corrugated paper;
• plastic stick or tube;
• red plasticine;

• ballpoint pen paste;
• glue;
• decorative tape;

Manufacturing process:

You need to make a heart out of red plasticine and attach it to a stick. Next, the corrugated paper must be cut into small pieces. Each one needs to be wrapped around the base of the paste and “drowned” into a plasticine heart. You need to do this with all the pieces. We glue the plasticine blank quite tightly on all sides. A piece of plasticine must be attached to the other end of the stick. Use it to fix the heart in a transparent box. Sprinkle peas on top so they don’t fall out and fill them with glue. At the base of the heart you need to tie a bow of decorative ribbon. Ready!

To work you will need:

• thick white paper;
• an ordinary piece of red paper;
• glue;
• pencils;

Manufacturing process:

On white paper, step back 1.5 centimeters from the edge on all sides and connect the dots. You will get a square. You need to paint over the perimeter with a pencil. You will get a picture frame. Next, you need to draw a tree trunk in the center. And paint it over too. After this, you need to cut out many small hearts from red paper (the more, the better). Glue hearts above the drawn tree trunk. You will get a crown. You can paste without adhering to symmetry and harmony. It will also work well if the blanks are glued in several layers. The tree will come out voluminous.

Valentine's Day came to us from the West, but has taken root well, since many people want to celebrate Valentine's Day. And schools often make beautiful crafts for February 14th. The symbol of this holiday is a valentine, that is, a heart-shaped card. It can be made not only from paper, but also from many other materials.

The theme of hearts on February 14 is especially relevant. Therefore, when making holiday crafts with your own hands, a guy or a girl most often uses various materials from which compositions with the presence of hearts can be made.

At the same time, not only paper is often used here, but also gifts of nature, which make the craft even more interesting and original.

Homemade Valentine card from scrap materials

It’s not difficult to buy a postcard or a heart for Valentine’s Day, but a craft for February 14, made with your own hands and made with love, will be much more impressive.

For younger children, it may be too early to exchange valentines. But making themed crafts will be useful for developing creative abilities.

Plasticine and dough

Despite the fact that paper is one of the most popular materials for making holiday crafts, for Valentine's Day you can choose other details that will make the craft more interesting and original.

For example, you can use plasticine, which perfectly trains a child’s fine motor skills, imagination and perseverance. Working with plasticine is interesting because it can take on any shape.

The kid can make a heart and decorate it with beads, flowers and other decor.

You can also make a picture from plasticine:

1. To do this, you should stock up on cardboard, on which you need to spread a layer of plasticine. This will be the basis.
2. Next, you need to take a piece of red plasticine and roll it into a ball. From this blank you need to make a flat circle.
3. Using a special plastic knife, cut out a heart and attach it to the picture.

The composition can be decorated with any elements that a child can make. The simplest option is flowers. They can be anything: easy-to-make daisies or complex roses and carnations.

This option will look good at a holiday exhibition in a kindergarten or school. But the craft can be complicated. For example, you can use it to make it.

It is prepared very simply and with only 3 ingredients: flour, salt (in equal proportions) and a few tablespoons of water. The dough should be homogeneous and dense, but plastic. From it you can fashion various elements for crafts or paintings.

On a note! The peculiarity of salt dough is that it hardens well and holds its shape for a very long time.

At the same time, the product can be easily painted in any color, which will give the craft even more originality. It is best for children of primary school age to work with salt dough.

They can independently knead the material, fashion the product and design it.

For example, salt dough makes simply excellent paintings. To make such a craft you will need thick cardboard, burlap, paints, brushes, and glue. First you need to prepare the foundation.

It will consist of cardboard and burlap glued to it.

Next, you can move on to making elements from salt dough. Considering that this craft is intended for Valentine's Day, you will definitely need a heart. You can make several of them, it all depends solely on the imagination of the performer. In addition, you should add some flowers.

If you wish, you can mold letters from the dough and post them as a holiday greeting. Don't forget that a holiday picture needs a frame. It can be done in any way. For example, just roll out a rectangular frame. If desired, you can beautifully trim its edges. Pigtail frames look very good, but they require a lot of work.

The final stage will be painting the picture. To do this, you can use any paints, but it will be more convenient for your child to work with gouache. Traditionally, the heart should be red.

The master can decorate the remaining elements at his own discretion. It would not be a shame to make such a picture for a competition for an elementary school or to hang it at home as a decoration.

Felt crafts

Material such as felt has long been popular among needlewomen of any age. Crafts made from this dense and comfortable fabric are easy to make. If a preschooler is working on the product, it is better to use PVA glue as a fastening; it is ideal for felt. Children who are already going to school can try using thread and a needle to create an original felt craft.

On a note! It is convenient to work with felt, because it is very easy to cut and does not crumble at all.

At the same time, the master has enormous scope for flight of imagination, since manufacturers produce felt in different colors.

Little needlewomen can sew felt hearts, which will be excellent souvenirs for Valentine's Day. To do this, just cut out two blanks and sew them with neat stitches.

You can add a little cotton wool inside to give the product some volume. You can decorate such a craft with buttons, rhinestones, etc.

On a note! A very interesting craft in the steam punk style is made from felt and an old metal zipper.

To make it you will need to cut a heart out of fabric. Next, you will have to cut it a little in a spiral, starting from the junction of the two hemispheres of the heart. From here you need to get to the middle.

Now you need to take a long metal zipper and cut off most of the fabric on which the teeth are attached. You should leave just enough so that the zipper does not fall apart.

After this, you can proceed to processing the product. To do this, you need to insert the edge of the zipper into the center of the heart so that only the metal teeth stick out. Then the zipper is threaded in a spiral through the entire heart. To prevent the resulting structure from falling apart, it must be stitched with thread where the zipper passes.

The workpiece turns out to be very original. It can be used to create an interesting picture, or you can make two parts and sew them together to make a toy or keychain.

For kindergarten children, felt is also suitable as a material from which you can make interesting crafts. But here it is not recommended to use thread and needles, so it is best to use glue. Under the guidance of adults, a child can cut out a heart from thick fabric, and then flowers and other elements for decoration. All of them can be glued to the base using PVA. Such crafts for February 14 look very beautiful and much more original than ordinary paper ones, although working on them is no more difficult.

Beads and wire

Primary school children can also start working with beads and wire. Working with these materials allows you to develop dexterity and perseverance.

A very simple but interesting composition can be made from two types of wire and several colors of beads. You'll also need some red tape. First, the master should make the base.

It will be made of thick wire, from which you need to roll the frame of the heart. Next, you need to wrap it with tape. You can place the base on a stand. It can be made from salt dough or plasticine.

Next, you can move on to working on the decor: flowers made of beads and thin wire. To begin with, you can make a green branch. To do this, you need to cut about 30 cm of wire and thread green beads into it, the amount of which depends on the expected number of leaves. Each element will require 5 beads.

Next, you can take the base for the flowers. For example, pink and white beads can be strung on a wire. Flowers are assembled according to the same principle, but here you can use not 5 beads, but 7 or even 10 to make the petals more expressive.

Once all the blanks for decorating the craft are ready, you can start decorating. Leaves and flowers are wrapped around a heart-shaped base. The result is a very interesting craft that can also become excellent home decor.

- This is a unique way to express your sympathy to a representative of the opposite sex. Boys and girls do not miss a great chance to buy a small postcard and present it to their chosen one. At the beginning of February, such gifts are appropriate, don’t be shy. If we are talking about children, then they really love to make interesting souvenirs with their own hands, and then present them to those whom they sincerely love. And the first on the list are mom and dad, sister or brother, grandparents. To make a lively and interesting Valentine, use plasticine. Bright fragments made of soft mass are a wonderful model for creativity. Elena Nikolaeva prepared 4 master classes on plasticine crafts for February 14th.

Valentine card made from plasticine with flagella

How romantic tender hearts look. This is a kind of symbol of love and affection for the person of your dreams. You can draw or mold a heart to give to someone you love. Children will find it interesting to make a heart-shaped applique made of soft pink plasticine. Introducing unique technology drawing ornaments with flagella. To decorate the canvas with thin plasticine threads, use an additional tool that resembles a syringe. Often such convenient devices are included in expensive plasticine sets or sold separately. But you don’t have to buy them; a regular syringe or measuring pipette for the medicine will do.

This lesson shows the idea of ​​modeling a craft for Valentine's Day from plasticine in the form of an applique on cardboard. If you learn how to create thin (equal in thickness) flagella, you will be able to create paintings and postcards of any theme. Shown here is a version of a Valentine's card, additionally decorated with beads.

To create a tender valentine, prepare:

• pink and red plasticine;
• small beads;
• a disposable syringe or measuring plastic pipette for medicine;
• a cardboard heart on which a plasticine design will be applied.

How to make a voluminous Valentine card step by step

1. Red and pink plasticine are the shades that best suit the theme of the craft being performed. To make a large number of thin threads, it is better to choose a very soft wax plasticine. The boxes must be marked “ soft waxy" It is also better to cut off the nose of the syringe first, otherwise it will be difficult for the child to push the plasticine through it. If you are using a very dense mass, then a syringe filled with modeling mass must first be heat in hot water, then squeezing out the threads will be much easier. Another problem that may arise during such work is cleaning the inner surface of the tool used. In our case, related shades are used, so first you can process the pink mass, then the darker red one. If the colors are completely different, then it is better to prepare a separate tool for each option, otherwise the plasticine will be damaged.

2. Fill the inside with a soft piece of pink color, after removing the piston. Then return the piston to its place, press down on the plasticine. Thus, the tip of a thin sausage with a diameter corresponding to the size of the hole will appear from the hole.

3. Start squeezing out the mass, periodically removing the piston and adding more and more portions of plasticine.

4. Make pink and red flagella.

5. Begin to carefully attach the plasticine to the cardboard base, without pressing too hard with your fingers, otherwise the perfectly smooth coating will be deformed.

6. Work from the outer edge to the inner.

7. Fill in the middle.

8. Make a spiral out of red threads and leave a few stripes for decoration.

9. Glue the red details onto the heart.

10. Use beads for decoration.

11. Create your own unique ornament. An interesting DIY valentine is ready.

Interesting DIY valentine made from plasticine

In this lesson we suggest considering a similar option - an elegant souvenir in the shape of a heart, decorated with plasticine floral patterns. Thus, this will be a postcard model made of cardboard, but it will be voluminous due to the use of plasticine parts. If the proposed idea inspires you, then get to work, because you can do it in no time.

For an interesting DIY valentine, prepare:

• cardboard, a simple pencil and scissors;
• dark-colored plasticine, as well as green and bright blocks;
• half-bead-pebble;
• a nail file or other thin stick.

How to make a valentine with your own hands

1. Cut out a regular flat heart from cardboard. This is the basis of a beautiful card. Draw a heart on paper, then cut it out using a pencil and scissors. For a kindergarten group, teachers can prepare templates in advance; schoolchildren themselves are able to do all the work from start to finish. The list also includes some kind of dark plasticine. This mass will be used as a background onto which other plasticine parts will be attached. Green and any bright colors will become a decoration, and a half-bead stone will add additional shine. First make the heart and prepare the mass for the background.

2. While the mixture is still soft, spread it with your fingers over the entire cardboard surface. It is to the warm plasticine that other parts will stick well in the future.

3. Pull out thin threads, twist them into thin spirals, and glue them to the blue fabric. Also add small green leaves.

4. Stick the main decoration – a pink flower – in the center. To start, it will be just a single layer of flat cake, but press the cake evenly along the edge with a toothpick.

5. Add a second cake on top, maybe of a different shade. Stick a pebble in the center.

6. Add berries to the free spaces, push each of them so that they look like beads.

If there is no free space left on the dark background, then we can assume that the interesting craft is ready by February 14th.

Angel Cupid made of plasticine - craft for Valentine's Day

The boy Cupid with wings, arrows, and curly blond hair has already collected a lot of hearts into his quiver. And all because this is a little angel who tirelessly unites lovers. One moment he saw a sweet couple, and tied them together for life, and the next moment he reconciled the lovers, and then brought complete strangers to meet each other. Many poets, writers, artists and animators portray this deity in the form of a little mischievous boy, he laughs and plays pranks all the time, patronizes lovers. If this is so, then a small figurine of the angel Cupid will be an excellent gift for Valentine's Day. To make a craft from plasticine, study the given master class.

To sculpt crafts you will need:

• white, pink, red, yellow plasticine;
• matches.

How to make Cupid with your own hands

1. In this work you need to make a figurine of a little boy, still a child. You have the opportunity to practice. But in addition we will show wings, arrows, curly hair to draw a fantasy hero. Cupid is usually naked, so we can only show a modest loincloth. For this you will need white plasticine.

2. You can start with the wings. To make them you will also need white (or blue) plasticine. Make two cakes, pressing on both sides to give the desired shape.

3. Make 2 identical parts. To make an imitation of feathers, use the tool from the plasticine set. Make dents on a soft surface, leaving lush grooves.

4. Make a small round head out of a pink ball. Make eyes, a nose, a mouth on the head. The same stack will help you do all this.

5. Glue on very small eyes with eyelashes - this is a real jewelry job. The plasticine parts will be very small, literally grains, so as not to spoil the result. Also make scarlet lips.

6. Insert the first match into the head ball. Prepare a white loincloth in the form of a truncated cone, apply longitudinal grooves around the circumference. Glue some pink plasticine on top to form a body. Also make small pellets of yellow plasticine for the boy’s curls.

7. Assemble the top part of the figure. Glue the balls onto the head, filling the entire surface without gaps. Fasten your head to your body and throw a white strap over one shoulder.

8. Also make arms and legs from pink plasticine. They can be disproportionately large, then the craft as a whole will look comical.

9. Glue the arms and legs into place on the figure.

10. Now you will need wings, which at the beginning were made of white plasticine. Cupid must also have a quiver of arrows. Use a few matches, red and brown modeling clay. Insert several matches with red hearts at the ends into a brown quiver bag. Also make an additional arrow with a gray sharp tip. And make an additional red heart, which is once again pierced by Cupid.

11. Assemble the figurine. Don't forget about the halo above your head.

Plasticine cat valentine

We are all accustomed to the fact that Valentine's Day is an occasion to please each other with cute trinkets, souvenirs, and tokens of attention. But no one forbids you to do it. For example, plasticine will make a wonderful cat-Valentine - a bright figurine that will definitely please the one to whom it will be presented. Surely children will like this kind of work. Make simple details, decorate your cat - in a few minutes you will have an interesting gift in your hands.

To create a cat-Valentine, prepare:

• plasticine;
• stack in a set with plasticine.

How to make a gift for February 14th with your own hands

1. Take any plasticine to work with. The proposed cat is molded from a blue mass; it looks unusual, no worse than a miniature bought in a store. You can also attach a scarlet heart and pink flowers of your own production to the craft. Look into the box and choose the color you like, or be guided by the range offered here.

2. Knead the central plasticine, i.e. a mass of blue color, in your hands. From this pliable ball you need to form a cat figurine. The body itself, the head with ears and the tail will be made of a single piece. This is a very interesting way of sculpting - creating figures from a single piece. Thus, everyone can feel like a real sculptor.

3. Begin to deform the still warm mass, extending the long tail, marking the head, pointing the ears on it. The central part - the body - can be left plump.

4. Stretch the tail and lift it up. Use your fingers to smooth down your ears. Glue the eyes and nose onto the muzzle. And then cut out all the fragments in a stack. Make a mouth and stripes along the body and tail. Now the cat looks a lot like himself. And the legs don’t have to be shown; in any case, they will be hidden behind the heart, which we will glue on later.

5. Make a flat heart from scarlet plasticine. Glue it to the front of the cat figurine. This is the gift that the figurine will hold. You can't do without red hearts on Valentine's Day.

6. Use the tip of the stack to write “love” on the heart. Make small pink flowers. Glue it in different places to the cat to make it even more romantic. This trick will allow you to decorate a plain blue craft.

An interesting copy is ready. The cat smiles and cheers up everyone around him. You can make many similar figures for all your loved ones from different blocks of plasticine. Now you need to think about the packaging method, because a beautifully presented gift is already half the success. Use boxes, ribbons and pretty bags with organza bows. Pre-freeze the cat in the refrigerator so that the plasticine becomes dense and does not wrinkle while in the container.

Craft ideas for home decoration

To create a special festive atmosphere in the house, special decorations are needed. Of course, now they are easy to find on store shelves, but it’s much nicer and more interesting to make them yourself. We offer you craft ideas for decorating your home for Valentine's Day.

Garlands are one of the simplest and most effective ways to decorate your home. On the holiday of dedicated love, it is customary to make them in the shape of hearts from paper of different shades of pink. Check out these options for making garlands:

This option is easy to do if you know how to sew on a typewriter: cut out hearts of different shapes from colored paper (it’s better to use printer paper), and then sew them on a typewriter one after another. You can hang them as shown in the picture, or you can hang them from wall to wall - in this case, the line should go across the heart.

In childhood, chain garlands were made in this way for the New Year, but we propose to make them simpler and in the shape of hearts. You will need:

• colored paper;
• scissors;
• stapler

Cut the paper into strips 10-15 cm long and 1-2 cm wide. Fold each in half, now take a stapler and use it to connect the ends of the strips, bending them slightly inward. You will get a heart. Then insert another strip and connect in the same way. This way you will make a long and beautiful garland.

A wreath will be a beautiful craft for your home on February 14th. It can be hung both on the front door and on the walls indoors. Of course, such wreaths are made in the shape of hearts.

This version of the wreath is very simple and does not require any expensive materials or skill. Just take some thick cardboard and cut a ring out of it. Then take sheets of red and pink paper and cut out lots of hearts from them. Bend each heart in half to create a voluminous wreath. Now glue them onto the ring using a glue stick.

This heart is made in a similar way.

You can make an excellent craft from cardboard and threads and decorate your interior with it. Cut out a heart from cardboard as shown in the photo. Take a thick thread or red yarn and secure its end to the heart. Start wrapping. Gradually you will get such a voluminous heart. It will look even more interesting if you take threads in two shades of red.
