4. As a result, you will get a rose like this on a stem.
5. We cut off the excess and apply glue to the lower part.
6. All that remains is to fix the blanks on the template and our flower heart is ready.

How to make a volumetric heart out of paper?

If you have a free evening, you can make a more complex version.

1. Cut out a heart-shaped template from cardboard.
2. Next, cut small squares of corrugated paper.
3. Using a pencil or pen, we make blanks: place the rod in the center of the square and crumple the paper around it.
4. Now we attach these blanks to the template.
5. This is what our corrugated paper heart looks like at this stage.
6. On the reverse side, we make ruffles like this from a ribbon, strip of fabric or any other material so that the composition has a complete look.
7. We attach our heart to the rod and place it in a container.
8. We decorate everything and get a romantic topiary made of corrugated paper in the shape of a heart.

Corrugated paper hearts

You can hang these throughout your apartment, thereby decorating it for Valentine’s Day.

1. Again, cut out the template from cardboard.
2. Next, take a strip of paper and twist it into a spiral, not very tightly.
3. From this spiral we simply roll roses in a circle.
4. We fill the entire area of ​​the template with them.
5. We attach a spiral of paper along the edge, and on the reverse side we fix ruffles and a loop.
6. The paper heart craft is ready!

Topiary heart made of corrugated paper

1. We cut square blanks from paper of two colors.
2. We place them one on top of the other, slightly moving them, as shown in the figure.
3. Next, place the pencil in the center and scroll it a little, crumpling the edges of the paper.
4. We will fix such blanks in a heart-shaped foam base.
5. Next we attach the base rod.
6. We install the entire structure in a container and decorate it at our discretion.

You can also make other crafts from corrugated paper, such as huge flowers.

Volumetric heart made of crepe paper using the cutting technique: step-by-step master class with photos

For production you will need:

• PVA glue
• corrugated paper
• tassel
• low flat container for glue
• scissors
• cardboard
• sheet of white paper
• ribbon
• pencil
• crochet hook

First, you need to cut out a heart template on a white sheet of paper, which is then transferred to cardboard. Then we cut out the base from paper, conveniently bending the sheet in half and drawing only half of the heart. Set the paper template aside; you will need it later.

Next, you need to cut the sheets of corrugated paper into small squares. The photo shows that you need to cut the entire roll of paper at once, first in small strips and then into cubes. Don’t worry about the perfectly even size of the squares; at the last stage, all flaws will be corrected in a fairly simple way.

The main stage of work begins with the fact that each piece of corrugated paper needs to be wrapped around the tip of the hook, and then the edge should be dipped in glue.

Each such element must be glued to a cardboard base. It is convenient to start from the tops of the heart, gradually moving down. You need to glue it tightly enough, but if bald spots are visible, they can be sealed as you work, when the glue on the adjacent squares dries a little.

Quite a monotonous job, but we are sure you can do it!

The heart is almost ready!

Now you need to glue the tape. To do this you will need a paper base, tape, a brush and glue. The finished heart must be turned over and the cardboard base well coated with glue, the edge of the tape is placed on it, also coated with glue and the other end of the tape is placed on top. After this, grease the top of the tape with glue again and glue the paper template.

That's all, if the squares differ greatly in height, then this can be easily corrected by ordinary “trimming” with scissors; the edges can also be trimmed a little.

A beautiful volumetric heart using the cutting technique is ready. It can become a decoration for a holiday table or the head of a bed. Very small hearts can be placed on the stem of a glass by making ribbon ties. A huge heart, which will require a lot of effort, paper and glue to create, will become a stylish accessory for a photo shoot with your loved one.

Master class with step-by-step photographs

You need to start work with a good mood and a desire to make something :)

1. Cut a heart-shaped base from a piece of foam.
2. Take corrugated paper and cut it into squares.
3. Wrap the square around a pencil as shown in the photo and attach it to the base. If the paper is too thick, then it is better to use silicone glue, and if you want to make such a heart from organza or other fabric, then it is better to use hot melt glue.
4. Once you have attached the square to the foam base, continue attaching other squares until you have filled the entire base. Just don’t glue them too close to one another, otherwise it will take you a lot of time and material, and the result will be the same as with rare gluing.
5. Next, take the beads and place them in the shape of a heart on your topiary, as shown in the photo.
6. When the heart is completely covered with paper, take a kebab skewer and insert it through the center. You can also use wire, salex, etc. as a trunk.
7. Wrap ribbon around the trunk and attach a bow. Leave it all to dry for a while.
8. Let's make a jar in which the heart will stand. It can be decorated with corrugated paper and a bow. Prepare a solution from plaster or alabaster, pour it into a jar and insert the stem of the heart into the middle. Our topiary is ready.

You can give such a heart for a birthday, Valentine's Day, or just make it for yourself to decorate your apartment. I wish you all inspiration and beautiful works!

Age: from 6 years, difficulty: medium difficulty.

Every year we “grow” trees for Valentine’s Day. And this year we couldn’t pass up such a wonderful tradition.

In addition, it is not at all necessary to become a real gardener and arm yourself with shovels and rakes; it is enough to take colored paper, glue and get to work with love.

We will need:

• foam hearts;
• thin felt;
• narrow satin ribbons;
• flower hole punch;
• beads, sequins;
• pins;
• PVA glue;
• watercolor and colored paper;
• flowers for scrapbooking.

Using a hole punch we make many colorful flowers. You can also cut it by hand, but it will take much longer and not be as neat.

We take two flowers of different colors and cut the petals of one closer to the middle. Using a crochet hook, knitting needle or embossing tool, press on the core, causing the petals of the flower to rise. As you can see in the photo, a flower with cut petals raises them more strongly. It is better to do this on something soft so as not to tear the flower. Use a pin to make a hole in the center of the flower.

We make a “sandwich”: a bead, a flower whose petals are more raised, string the flower onto a pin.

We stick a pin with flowers into the foam heart. Alternating flowers, we cover the perimeter of the heart.

We put beads and sequins on a pin and stick it into the heart. It turns out a row of sequins.

The third row is again floral.

So, alternating rows, we fill the whole heart.

You can do the same on the reverse side, but we decided to cheat. Using a utility knife, make slits exactly in the middle of the heart.

Place a napkin or crepe paper over the heart and push it into the slots.

Cut off the excess.

And we hide the ends there. Fold a small piece of satin ribbon in half and fasten it to the heart with a pin. The first heart is ready!

Use a utility knife to make slits in the heart.

Lubricate part of the heart with PVA glue, apply felt and, as described above, press it into the foam.

We didn't have any pink felt, but a household napkin really helped out. We repeat everything on the reverse side too.

We decorate the seams with satin ribbon, you can glue it, but we decided to pin it with pins. Let's make a loop.

Decorate the heart with flowers. The second heart is ready.

The third heart is made the fastest: we cut off the wire from the flowers, leaving a small stem. Stick a flower into the heart. First we make an outline, gradually filling in the heart.

Let's make a loop. And the third heart is ready.

So that the large hearts would not be lonely on the branches, we decided to dilute them with small hearts. Cut out heart templates from watercolor paper.

Cut out smaller hearts from colored paper.

We apply a folded satin ribbon to the large heart and glue it with double-sided tape. Lubricate the colored paper heart with glue.

Glue two hearts together.

Roll colored paper onto a pencil.

Take out the pencil and cut the tube into strips.

Dip the resulting circles in PVA and glue them onto the heart.

First we make the outline.

Then fill the middle of the heart.

After the hearts dried, it seemed to us that something was missing and we decided to add white half-pearls.

All! All that remains is to decorate the branches and the heart tree is ready.

Hello, dear readers of the Domovenok-Art blog! Today I have for you another pre-holiday master class on making, or parts of the decor for decorating a gift, and not necessarily for Valentine’s Day. Now I will show you how to make a heart from penoplex with your own hands

, and then apply the decoupage technique to decorate this miracle.

Background….

And it was like this: to complete one unrealistically beautiful composition, which I talked about here, I needed a large volumetric heart. Of course, you could look for a foam blank in the store, but according to the plan, it would have to be divided into 2 parts, cut a hole in one of them, and then glued back together. The whole story. So I took a different, more interesting path. In addition, anyone who has worked with polystyrene foam knows that processing this material is not a very pleasant experience, especially when small pieces begin to stick to everything they can.

So, I decided to make a heart from the foam that was left over after the renovation. This insulation is widely used among lovers of suite design, because it is so convenient to stick candy flowers into it. In addition, this material is easy to cut and process with sandpaper.

A fun idea is to make an elegant heart out of a piece of insulation))). They told me: “This is unreal.” And at this point I would like to quote the director and music video maker Irina Mironova:

I agreed that it was impossible, but I did not agree that I couldn’t handle it!

Do you believe that this heart in the photo was made, one might say, “from scratch” with your own hands? In general, now you will see everything for yourself.

To create a heart from penoplex using the Decoupage technique, we will need:

• a piece of foam sheet;
• white acrylic paint;
• acrylic lacquer;
• acrylic outline;
• napkin for decoration;
• decor: sisal, bird, lace, paper flowers, etc.;
• stationery knife;
• heat gun and glue sticks;
• flat decoupage brushes;
• bamboo skewer;
• sandpaper;
• secondary putty (very desirable);
• board.

How to make a voluminous heart with your own hands using decoupage technique

Cutting out a heart blank from polystyrene foam

While there is inspiration, let's begin the most labor-intensive process - creating a heart blank from polystyrene foam. We cut out a rectangle of the required width and height from this material. The thickness of the heart was planned to be about 6 cm, so I had to take another piece and divide it in half lengthwise (I had penoplex 4 cm thick).

We cut out a small square in this thin blank - this is the future hollow for the bird. Place the template in the desired location, trace it with a pencil and cut it out using a utility knife.

Now, using hot glue, we connect both pieces, press well and let the glue cool.

Still don’t believe that this cube can make an elegant heart? Then look further.

Take it and trace it with a pencil. And now we begin to cut along tangents to our smooth lines.

At first it will be a very rough piece, only slightly similar to a heart, with sharp corners and edges. But gradually, after cutting along the tangents, we begin to cut off everything sharp, smoothly first rounding off the heart shape itself. For now it will be flat, but it will already begin to turn into something more understandable.

Now you need to round off the sharp edges. And cut the lower part closer to the center to narrow the tip of the heart. Gradually, step by step, small slice by slice….

Three hours of work - and you already have such a blank heart made of penoplex in your hands. So far it's rough. Therefore, we take fine sandpaper and smooth the surface of our heart. Ready! It's like magic))))

Preparing a penoplex heart for decoupage

Now let's prepare our heart surface for decoupage. As you can see in the photo, in general the workpiece is quite smooth, especially after sanding. However, some depressions and irregularities remain. Therefore, it is best to putty them, and after drying, sand them again. Unfortunately, I didn’t have putty at home. Of course, this did not spoil all the work, it’s just that these irregularities are visible in places on the finished heart.

Now you need to paint the surface of our heart with white acrylic paint in several layers (of course, with intermediate drying). I used regular art paint. For ease of coloring and further work, at this stage you can insert a bamboo stick into the lower part of the heart (if you need it in the final composition).

Ready! And who said that this is impossible? All that's left to do is decorate.

Decoupage of a penoplex heart

Let's move on to another interesting stage - decoupage of our heart. For pasting we will use beautiful napkins.

I never thought that buying napkins individually was such an expensive pleasure. But, nevertheless, I found very cute shabby-style prints in the store and took 3 of them at once. I liked everything about them: the flowers, their arrangement, and the background. Therefore, a crazy decision was made - to stick the napkin not one piece at a time, but the whole thing. Well, since we managed to cut out a heart from polystyrene foam, then now there’s nothing to worry about)))

Before decoupage, use scissors to make cuts in the “hollow” area where the napkin will bend inward. Don’t forget to remove the 2 lower white layers, and then put a napkin on the workpiece and see where else you need to make cuts, and maybe cut something off, because our heart is voluminous!

Everything suits me? Then we start gluing. I glued it directly onto the varnish. We apply it gradually, but quickly and, most importantly, without nerves. First, you should glue the front part, then the sides, and then the back part. First we try it on, then we cut it where necessary, and only then we glue it.

It is also necessary to glue a square into the “hollow”, which will cover not only its bottom, but also part of the walls (especially the corners that remain uncovered)

We created part of the decoupage hearts! And that's great. Now the varnish needs to dry. And then we take fine sandpaper and rub out all the folds and other irregularities that formed during gluing. After this we apply a second layer of varnish. If necessary, you can apply a couple more layers, also drying and sanding in between.

And now I propose to complete the decoupage of the penoplex heart by applying the final touches. For this I used an acrylic outline. With its help, I highlighted the stamens of flowers and their outlines. You can use other available materials for decoration.

Decorating a decoupled volumetric heart

All that remains is the simplest and most enjoyable task - decorating the finished decoupled heart. In the decor we will use paper roses for scrapbooking, as well as leaves, grass, etc.

I came across this sheet lace. We glue a small piece of this beauty along one side of the window with a small fold on the bottom side. And on top there is a bow made of satin ribbon.

Now the roses: twist their stems at the base, cut off the long tails (leave about 1.5-2 cm).

We wrap a piece of sisal around the stems, and then use a heat gun to glue the bouquet so that the roses are closer to the corner. You can add a little sisal on top of the bouquet, thus making a cozy nest (as in the master class on creating).

Now we put a white bird on the glue in the nest. If desired, a bamboo stick can be wrapped with brown or other suitable color tape or thin corrugated paper.

And this completes the decor of our decoupled heart!

How do you like this gift for Valentine's Day? Store-bought valentines and other hearts smoke quietly on the sidelines))))

Well, have I once again managed to convince you that small miracles and magic are what we ourselves are capable of? Today you saw with your own eyes how beauty can be created from ordinary building material: we cut out a heart from polystyrene foam, decoupaged this heart, and then lovingly decorated it. I hope you enjoyed it and found it truly interesting. You will find another miracle for Valentine's Day using decoupage.

Delight your loved ones with unique gifts made from the heart and with love!

And I would like to end this master class today with a bright and kind song on the topic.

See you soon on the Domovenok-Art blog. Your brownie Elena.

It's no secret that the symbol of love is the heart. To express your feelings or simply surprise your loved one, it is enough to give a small (or, on the contrary, a very large) heart. Moreover, today there is a fairly wide selection of materials that allow you to turn your idea of ​​a gift for your “other half” into reality. One of these is polystyrene foam. It is very popular because it has many advantages. Therefore, a foam heart, which you can buy by ordering it from, will be a great surprise.
