So initially on February 14 you simply must give your loved one a good mood!
You can make these hearts from bright red felt, papier-mâché, or sweets in bright wrappers!
If the hearts are made of felt, prepare scissors, ribbon, pieces of bright felt, stuffing and thread with a needle! You need to cut out two completely identical hearts from felt fabric, sew them with an overcast stitch, leaving a small hole, fill the heart with synthetic padding, sew up the hole and be sure to sew on a bright ribbon! That's all the work! If you really want, embroider the traditional phrase for this day: I LOVE YOU, or just LOVE!
The hearts are ready - hang them on a ribbon wherever we can! You can attach a small scroll with declarations of love to each heart!
You can make such a voluminous, big loving heart yourself!
Take these materials:
- Cardboard or plastic blank shaped like a heart (ordinary cardboard will also work);
- Glue;
- Red paint and brush (if necessary);
- Sharp scissors;
- Red fleece (for those who don’t know, it’s such a soft fabric).
Having prepared all this, you can safely begin creating your “heartfelt” masterpiece:
It may be left over from some sweets or cookies. If you are a little unlucky, arm yourself with cardboard and scissors and believe that your base will be no worse! Paint the “freshly cut” heart base with red paint and let dry;
This is what a heart will look like, which your significant other will definitely like:
Did you enjoy CREATING such crafts for your loved ones?
We bring to your attention another “masterpiece” - a box with floating hearts!
For this you will have to work a little:
- Find a box of a suitable size, quietly transport it to your cozy family nest and hide it there for the time being;
- The box should be decorated in the style of Valentine’s Day - bright wrappers in hearts, a ribbon and a huge bow on top, creating intrigue;
- Buy a lot of different balloons and fill them with helium just before the holiday, and, again, sneak all this stuff into the apartment unnoticed;
- Early in the morning we take out all our stuff, secure the balloon ribbons to the bottom of the box using buttons, all this is neat (so that not a single, even the smallest balloon bursts, otherwise the surprise will end, and the fright is obvious), we stuff it into the box, tie it up beautifully with a ribbon and put on a big bow!
Ready! Just imagine HOW your loved one will react when she opens the holiday box... your multiplied hearts will immediately flow to her!
You can preserve and strengthen relationships only by regularly showing care and attention to each other! But remember, no gifts will save your relationship if on weekdays you are cold, rude, indifferent or jealous of each other!
Be loved and give your love! Be attentive and take attention in return! Give small gifts every day and every day will become a holiday for both of you!
Valentine's Day is coming very soon - February 14th. This is such a wonderful reason to please your soulmate and present a surprise by declaring your love once again! I offer you several simple master classes on how to make DIY felt hearts and how you can then use ready-made felt crafts!
Even novice needlewomen can make hearts; some of the crafts do not even require knowledge of basic sewing skills, so they will be accessible even to children.
1 way:
You will need 2 pieces of rectangular felt approximately 10 cm wide (a little more is possible). You can use hot glue, or you can simply sew it on a typewriter, whichever is more convenient for you. For this craft, it is advisable to choose thick felt, 2 mm wide.
We put the pieces together, glue or stitch one edge.
Then we turn it inside out so that the seam is on the inside, and glue or stitch the other two edges together. We get a long tube of felt, resembling a heart in cross section. Cut the hearts to the desired width.
You can make a garland from these felt hearts by collecting them on a thread, or add a bead and make a pendant. You can even make a separate heart tree.
Method 2:
Look great felt hearts on a stick, placed in a vase or flower pot. You can make a whole hearty bouquet!
You will need:
- felt 2mm wide (1.2 colors),
- thin skewer,
- satin ribbon of a suitable color,
- hot glue gun,
- scissors (regular or curly).
We cut out hearts of the same size from felt using regular or figured scissors, place a skewer in the center and glue the hearts together with hot glue (you can carefully stitch the edge - it’s more convenient and faster to use hot glue). The heart can be decorated with a smaller felt heart in a contrasting color and a satin ribbon bow.
3 way:
A little patience and you can make an original one heart shaped hot tray.
For this craft, it is better to use thin felt 1mm wide.
4 way:
Volumetric felt hearts... For this craft, you can use both thick and thin felt.
We cut out two identical hearts from felt, put them together and begin stitching the edge in any way. Almost reaching the edge, we fill the heart with cotton wool or padding and sew it to the end.
This heart can be used for decoration.
Or, for example, having made a loop, decorate a twig with them.
Or play felt hearts in tic-tac-toe I think it's very romantic. 🙂
You can create it yourself as a souvenir felt topiary, heart-shaped.
The eyes and mouth are painted with acrylic paints; ready-made ones can be glued on.
5 way:
If you have a lot of felt scraps left, you can make brooch with felt hearts.
You will need:
- felt 2mm thick,
- brooch base,
- chain,
- some cardboard
- hot glue gun.
Cut out a small circle from a piece of cardboard, cover the back with felt and attach a brooch base. Glue the chains on the front side and randomly glue felt hearts onto hot glue.
6 way:
For which we already had a separate detailed master class, so I’ll only add a photo).
Method 7: fridge magnet - heart with arrow.
I think that everything is clear in the photo, so I won’t describe it. Additional parts were fixed with hot glue.
Ideas for creating and using felt hearts can be used not only for February 14, but also for a dating anniversary, a wedding anniversary (for married couples), or just because!
There are, of course, many more ideas on the Internet, some of which I showed you in my execution. I always try to add my own twist, I think that no one can blame me for this. 🙂
I will try, if possible, to supplement this article with new master classes. various felt hearts.

I'll start by describing this material more accurately. Foamiran is foam rubber, usually used in various types of needlework. It comes from different companies and manufacturers. Usually on sale you can see Chinese-made, denser ones. Perfect for our Valentines.
Another feature that it has is elasticity. By heating it a little with an iron, it can take any shape. Most often, flower arrangements are created from it.
We will need:
- foamiran - red
- glue gun and sticks
- Thick cardboard - white or red
- scissors
- ruler
- We cut the material into long strips 1 cm wide, then into small rectangles 2-2.5 cm long.
- We cut off the corners from one edge, rounding them towards the middle.
- Place the cut pieces on the iron and let the foamiran heat up a little.
- Quietly remove from the iron. Applying your fingers to the middle, we stretch it, creating a kind of depression inside, giving the shape of a petal.
- We create a small rose from the finished petals, gluing them to each other from below.
- We apply the template to the remaining foam material, trace it and cut it out.
- We apply the finished cut out template in the shape of a heart to the cardboard and glue it.
- Glue the finished rose onto the prepared “heart”.
- Glue the remaining petals along the edge of the rose in one row.
Look how beautiful we got it, and all this thanks to ordinary foamiran. I think now your other half will be pleased with such a gift.
Video on how to make valentines from beads
Beads are an excellent material for creating beautiful works. Therefore, we will try and create something very magical from it. For work, we may need a small diameter wire or fishing line, and a larger bead than the bead itself. Of course it will take a lot of time, but believe me it’s worth it.
