How to make a volumetric inscription
DIY paper crafts for Valentine's Day can be simple or complex. The text in the form of the word “Love”, the name of a loved one, initials or other romantic word will look impressive.
The size of such a gift can be either miniature so that the text fits on the table, like a postcard, or large. Large letters can be used to decorate a wall or you can put them on the floor. The inscription is made both in the form of a relief on some basis, and completely three-dimensional.
The relief can be easily made using the quilling technique by twisting many different elements and filling the outline of the letters with them. Volumetric parts are usually made of cardboard or thick paper. To do this, letter shapes are cut out in duplicate, as well as a strip to create the side surface. All parts are glued together with tape or glue. You can decorate the top with any decor or even install lighting inside the structure, for example, from a regular Christmas tree garland. It will be very impressive. Volumetric letters are also made from fabric in the form of soft toys or pillows.
