First, cut the paper into thin strips, and then chop it with scissors.

The heart will need to be stuck on a kebab stick so that it does not spin on it, you can grease the tip with glue or liquid nails.

2. Now take the red figurine and cut the corner a little with scissors, that is, make it semicircular, it will be a flower bud.

3. After that, make leaves out of green paper, fold the blank with an accordion, and then cut it off along the edge.

4. This is what should come out, well, just like a fence or grass. In fact, all this is required to decorate our bud beautifully.

I think it is easiest for men to make such souvenirs or surprises on this day. You can decorate a room very impressively using ordinary balloons.

Write a message or letter, but unusual, but with confessions.

By the way, we girls really like such cute things. I also really liked this funny idea to make a kinder. Look, we all loved them very much in childhood. Carefully remove the wrapper and cut the chocolate in half. You can put a ring in a yellow container or cut strips and write wishes and tender words or love jokes.

And then rewrap everything as if nothing had happened.

Or you can make a flipping postcard in the form of a notebook from the symbol of love.

Also buy candies, but not just ordinary ones, but arrange them and put them in a jar.

If you are a wood craftsman, you may be able to make a figurine or a small composition.

If you have a very limited budget, then you can make a scarlet heart out of paper using the quilling technique.

Or express your feelings in signs))).

In general, you think about it and you will definitely come up with something, because you can make a bunch of all sorts of things from improvised means, there would be a desire.

Look at ordinary sweets, and how unexpectedly you can arrange a gift.

Or use coffee beans.

If you are not a creative person at all, then for you, there are the most common options, these are toys from balls.

Or the most primitive is to buy a bottle of champagne or wine with sweets.

But, nevertheless, make at least some small efforts to please your halves, because your own product with your own hands is always more expensive.

I propose to make a vytynanka, remember last time we decorated the room, the window in the bedroom. You can make a picture out of them.

If you liked this creation, then I have a lot of other prototypes on this topic, so write at the bottom of the article and I will send you these layouts for free. And you can easily make your own unique masterpiece.

You can decorate an ordinary candle in a rather original way using an ordinary sheet of paper, look at the picture and translate it into reality.

What's more, all sorts of cute things can be scattered throughout the room.

You can take these recipes for making any such cute toys for room decor as a basis.

Even when you have tea, you can easily express your feelings without words.

Or make funny little animals or little people who hold something nice in their paws.

Well, of course, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. You can arrange a romantic evening, or you can bake it. I conducted a survey with my husband and asked him if he would be offended if I baked pancakes for him that day, he would say that he would be very happy).

So bake, and you can take the recipe for such gourmands

Even berries and fruits can be used to make a delicious composition. Remember that it is difficult to please men only at first glance, in fact, everything is much simpler).

We arrange a surprise at home "Flowers in hearts"

Well, and one more model that I think many will be interested in, I propose to look at this small video and take this thought for yourself:

The most elementary activity that can be done with children is painting with paints, that is, applying painted palms to a large Whatman paper. You can even hang this miracle on a stand or a notice board and write different wishes if such a newspaper is made at school.

If you approach this issue more seriously, then from cardboard you can offer the kids such funny mice.

We need:

• scissors
• cardboard or paper
• felt-tip pen

Stages of work:

1. Make blanks so that the children will then make one bigger heart over them, which will be cut in half, this will be the torso. Two are medium and four are small.

2. Glue the largest halves together. Do the same with medium blanks, they will make a stand. From small ones, glue the ears. Draw the nose and eyes, and don't forget about the mouth.

I propose to make an application with a child, because it is she who develops fine motor skills hands and creative imagination. You can do this even in kindergarten, even at school. The main elements will be hearts. And here is what can be laid out and glued, for example a butterfly.

Or a kitty, a mouse, and even a bunny.

The main thing is that it resembles someone's image, some animal or animal.

Then you can make felt toys from a stencil. You can look at the finished blanks and use them for your work, there I showed them in paper form, in principle there is nothing complicated and you can do this yourself.

It will be delightful if you tailor and sew a soft toy (a cat in love or a cupid.).

What to gift

There are only a few days left before the holiday, and choosing a gift is not easy. Therefore, turn on your imagination and choose original gifts so as not to miss your chance to tell the object of adoration about your feelings - after all, the "holiday of love" happens only once a year.

You can please and surprise your loved one or your soul mate both with the help of useful and practical gifts and with symbolic trinkets.

Beloved

Valentine's Day gifts can be very different - flowers, toys, candy, balloons, and many other things that are heart-shaped. On Valentine's Day, a gift is valued more for the romantic spirit than the value.

Women are romantic natures and love everything original. For example, girls who spend more time at the computer than near the mirror can buy a USB flash drive in a beautiful case with pebbles, a mouse with patterns or headphones with rhinestones as a gift.

For Valentine's Day, you can give your girlfriend a camera, a beautiful frame for photos or a mobile phone.

As a gift, cosmetics, perfumery, a bag, a cosmetic bag, a manicure set, a scarf, and so on are suitable - there is a great choice, but if you do not know her preferences, it is better not to experiment.

Exquisite lingerie can also please a woman on this holiday, but if you do not know the exact size, it is better to limit yourself to a beautiful negligee or silk robe.

You can also please your beloved with a romantic mini-trip, as well as a certificate for a trip to the SPA-salon or your favorite store.

But the best gift for Valentine's Day is gold or silver jewelry. It is difficult to find a woman, regardless of age, who does not like jewelry, so jewelry is not only a beautiful, but also a pleasant surprise on Valentine's Day.

On this day, a woman can be presented with earrings, a pendant or a chain. To avoid misunderstandings, rings should only be given to legitimate wives or potential brides.

If you are not married, but are planning to offer your beloved a hand and a heart, Valentine's Day is the best time to present an engagement ring. Such a surprise will cause indescribable delight in the woman you love.

A beautiful car, presented on Valentine's Day, will inspire any woman to exploits, if, of course, you have the means to do so.

Of course, not everything in life is valued by money. The cost of the gift is not the most important factor. Sometimes even the cheapest trinket, presented with love, turns out to be more expensive than diamonds and gold.

There is still time to think and make an interesting choice, just remember that on this day, a woman should not give kitchen utensils or other household items that will remind her of her daily routine.

Beloved

On Valentine's Day, you can give your loved one almost anything - a wallet, an umbrella, an original keychain, a cigarette case or a lighter, if he smokes, and much more.

On Valentine's Day, you can and should give intimate gifts. For example, beautiful panties with a cool picture or a declaration of love, which can be ordered in a photo studio.

A pleasant gift will be special glasses that help preserve eyesight for those who spend a lot of time at the computer or USB-cards, made in a strict business style.

If a man spends part of his life driving a car, then a silver keychain or a functional keychain that can measure tire pressure or defrost locks will be a great gift for him. Take care of him by purchasing a massage cape or orthopedic pillow for the car seat as a gift.

A universal gift would be a good eau de toilette, a set of shaving cosmetics, a set of shampoo and shower gel, a cream for men's skin or a manicure set for men.

When choosing a gift, it is worth remembering the preferences and hobbies of a loved one. If a man loves extreme sports, you can present a certificate for parachute jumping or horseback riding. For a calmer person, you can choose to go to a romantic movie or theater together.

A gift made with your own hands will especially delight your loved one - a warm sweater or scarf knitted by your hands will warm him on a cold winter evening and remind him of your love and care.

Everyone knows the truth that the way to a man's heart lies through the stomach, so a delicious romantic dinner will be a great alternative to any gift.

The main thing is to set the table beautifully and prepare his favorite dishes and serve them to the shape of a heart. Do not forget about candles, which will turn an ordinary evening into a romantic dinner.

Friend

You can spend a holiday with your best friend if your heart is free and you haven't tied the knot yet.

You can give a friend for Valentine's Day sweets, a plush toy or a beautiful postcard, with the wish to meet true love as soon as possible. You can also give an original mug, keychain, pen, headphones or a computer mouse.

A beautiful frame with your joint photo, a lamp powered by a computer USB port, a board game or souvenir cards, a business card holder or any other symbolic gift that will remind you of your friendship will do as a gift.

Choose a gift for a friend based on his hobbies - an inveterate tourist will find some kind of camping item: a thermos mug, a set of dishes in a special case, a lantern, and so on.

And for a friend who is fond of cooking, you can present a large recipe book with beautiful illustrations, baking dishes or a set of natural spices.

In this case, the choice is also great, only you need to strain your memory and imagination.

Signs

Some people are superstitious and believe in omens, so do not forget about this when choosing gifts.

There are several things that cannot be gifted, as they carry negative energy. People include a handkerchief, pearls, books, a mirror, knives, scissors and other fragile and piercing objects as dangerous gifts.

People believe that the sharp will bring a heart wound, and the fragile - there is a danger of breaking or splitting, which will entail parting.

According to superstition, one should not give a watch on Valentine's Day, as it symbolizes separation. It is believed that the hands on the presented watch will begin to count down the time until parting.
