Wicker Valentine Heart: Tools and Materials

To work you need:

- double-sided paper of 2 colors, better contrasting;

- any glue;

- scissors.

Wicker heart - valentine: step by step description

Step 1

Prepare a template and draw lines for future cuts.

Step 2

Cut out several blanks of different colors according to the template. You can cut out several identical blanks at the same time by folding sheets of paper in a pile and fastening them with paper clips (if an adult cuts out, preparing materials immediately for a group of children). If children cut out, then they make only one blank at a time along the contour.

Step 3

If you make these valentines with children preschool age , then cut the blanks one by one along the lines of the template.

If you are making valentines - wicker hearts with school-age children, then you can show the child more fast way. Fold the workpieces 2-3 pieces together, fasten them with paper clips so that they do not move relative to each other and make cuts along the marked lines to the control line (from experience, it is better to cut 1-2 mm beyond the control line).

Step 4

- Put one piece on top of another.

- Skip stripes of one color between stripes of another color, interlacing them in a checkerboard pattern.

Step 5

- Pull the interlaced strips tightly to each other, grease the ends of the strips with glue and glue the strips on both sides.

- Trim the edges of the hearts.

Step 6

- Thread the needle, pierce the heart in the upper part, stretch the thread and tie a knot, forming a loop.

- Hang ready-made hearts on the wall, on window curtains or on a tree branch.

Creative task:

- Think about how you can draw lines on this template to change the weave pattern?

- Choose contrasting colors of paper for making hearts.

— Make a set of hearts with different lines.

Variants of such wicker hearts for inspiration and inventing your own pattern with children based on them- in the pictures below. Try to come up with your own pattern! Experiment. As you can see, the possibilities of this technique are enormous! Such hearts are made not only from paper, but also from ordinary fabric for patchwork(using a special material for gluing strips of fabric - fleece), made of thin felt.

The second valentine for children: a heart in the technique of a mosaic of corrugated paper

We have already met with you in the manufacture New Year's cards. Today we will remember this technique and, like puzzle pieces, fill the heart with small pieces of crepe paper. And this technique can also be compared with patchwork.

Corrugated Paper Mosaic Valentine Card: Materials and Tools

To work you need:

- crepe (corrugated) paper of different colors,

- glue stick,

- colored cardboard

— White paper,

- ribbon,

- regular scissors, scissors - zigzag.

How to make a paper mosaic valentine with children: a step by step description

This Valentine's gift can be made even with the smallest children.

Step 1

Cut multi-colored corrugated (crepe) paper into small pieces of different sizes.

Step 2

- Cut out two hearts of any shape, but of different sizes, from white paper. The difference in size should be approximately 0.5 - 0.7 cm.

- Gradually grease a smaller heart with glue - a pencil and stick multi-colored pieces of paper on it.

Thus, piece by piece, stick until the entire surface of the heart is filled.

Useful idea: With older children in the process of work, you can play a word game. For example, count how many different shades of paper are used in the manufacture of a heart and what they are called. Or pick up words about what our heart will turn out to be (bright, multi-colored, joyful, cheerful, etc.). Or choose what qualities of a person we want to emphasize (kind, neat, cheerful, honest, etc.).

You can play associations and choose what quality of a person a given color is associated with, for example: white - fidelity, pink - tenderness, sunny yellow - kindness, and so on.

Here's what you'll have at the end of this Valentine's Day step.

Step 3

- Cut off excess protruding edges of colored paper from the glued workpiece. It is better to do this on the wrong side of the heart, turning it over to you with the white side.

- Cut the edges of a large heart with zig-zag scissors and stick a blank with a mosaic surface on it.

Step 4. Making a children's valentine

Option A: Making a postcard - valentine

- Bend a sheet of colored cardboard in half.

- Stick the resulting blank on the prepared base.

- Cut out a light strip of paper with zig-zag scissors, make an inscription on it and glue it under the heart. Postcard is ready!

This postcard was made by five-year-old Irochka (see photo below).

Option B. Valentine card "Postcard - pocket"

You can also make this version of the postcard: similarly to a heart, make leaves and a stem and plant a heart flower in a pot! The pot can only be glued on 3 sides (like a pocket) and put a letter with kind words in it.

Option B. Valentine pendant. To do this, cut out a heart from cardboard bigger size with zigzag scissors and stick on it the previously obtained mosaic heart blank. Make a hole at the top with a hole punch, thread a cord or ribbon into it and hang it on the curtain.
