HEART ON A STAND

Send

On St. Valentine is trying to present each other small romantic souvenirs with various hearts, kisses and flowers. Which will be the embodiment of the most sincere wishes. As a rule, it is red that symbolizes love, passion, and strong feelings. Therefore, the gifts presented on this day should be in this color scheme. We offer you a master class on making a beautiful heart made of corrugated paper on a wire stand. The craft is bright and attractive.
For work, you need to prepare the following materials:
- a piece of thick cardboard (you can take a paper box and cut a rectangle from it);
- low tin can (better from canned fish);
- a piece of dense wire that bends easily (approximately 50 cm);
- bilateral narrow tape;
- red corrugated paper (paper napkins are also possible);
- scissors and stationery knife;
- PVA glue;
- plasticine;
- various red ribbons.

First you need to take the wire and give it the desired shape. You can twist on top in a small spiral and bend in the center. You can leave it flat and only slightly tilt the top edge. A lot of options. Then, using plasticine, fix the wire in the center of the can. Instead of clay, you can fill the tank with liquid cement or alabaster (gypsum). Only they should dry out for about a day.

Wrap the wire all the way with corrugated paper or napkins. To fix them, it is better to use PVA glue. Let the paper layer be larger, so the wire will gain volume.

Now you need to decorate a can. You can beautifully and gently wrap it with a thick red napkin and tie it with an organza ribbon, tying a bow on the side. It looks great. Glue it with a transparent cloth or paint with acrylic paints if you want.

Next, we move on to making the heart. You need to take a thick cardboard, draw a heart on it and cut a stencil.

Two pieces of the same size should be made of such blanks.

In the center of each blank, you need to cut a small heart with the help of a clerical knife. These two blanks are needed for subsequent work.

Glue them together using double-sided tape. And move on to decorating. First, it is better to wrap the heart with corrugated paper around the entire perimeter to hide the base of the craft. You can use a wide satin ribbon for this purpose.

Then wrap the workpiece with a beautiful thread, glue three homemade paper roses. They are easy to make from a paper circle cut in a spiral and glued in the center.
And tie on top of a red thin ribbon.

You just have to hang the heart on a wire stand. It is necessary to correctly calculate the height of the wire and the size of the heart, so that the work looks organically.

Here is such an original souvenir obtained from improvised materials. Complete the gift with a heart of sweets and delight your soulmate on a wonderful romantic evening.
