Quilling

This technique allows you to create very beautiful souvenirs that can serve as a separate decoration or be part of paintings. To make such a heart, you need to take:

• bilateral colored paper any color, it all depends on your preference;
• PVA glue;
• a twisting device, such as a pencil or toothpick.

First, the sheet needs to be cut into identical strips, each of which will need to be screwed onto a selected item (for us it’s a toothpick). As a result, you should have a large number of spirals of different sizes. Now you must glue them together starting from the center to make a heart, the size of which you can choose at your discretion. In addition, you can change the shape of the spiral and bend them, for example, in the shape of a “boat” and only then glue them into the desired shape.

Origami heart

This technique is very popular all over the world. Even in childhood, many people made airplanes out of them. This the simplest crafts, but you can make real masterpieces. For paper origami “Volume Heart” you need to prepare a rectangular sheet of any color.

Take a piece of paper and bend it diagonally so that a narrow strip remains free at the bottom. Now turn it over to the other side and bend the bottom strip in half. As a result, you will have a narrow strip on the inside. Then turn the sheet over again and bend the upper part of the square horizontally so that the fold is in the center of the diagonals. We connect the top edge of the bottom strip with the folded edge and turn the half-finished heart over. Now you need to expand the top square, as a result you should see 2 diagonal and 1 horizontal fold. Along these lines, you need to fold the upper square so that you end up with a triangle, and at its base - a narrow strip. The bottom and right corner of the triangle must be folded towards the top. The left and right parts of the figure itself are folded towards the center. As a result, you should get a “house” that needs to be bent vertically in half and turned over. We turn the 2 lower corners upward towards the center, and at the bottom we get an acute angle. Fold the top one down, and the remaining loose ones need to be wrapped, pointing in different directions (left to right). All that remains is to tuck the corners into your pocket. And that's it, the heart is ready. Do-it-yourself voluminous paper hearts made using this method can replace a postcard with
