"Flower Heart" - greeting card
If you persistently think about hearts, about love, it means that Valentine's Day is approaching. You can express your love, affection, sympathy in different ways, for example, with a handmade valentine.
First of all, cut out a heart-shaped template: fold a sheet of paper in half, draw half of the part. Cut, straighten - you get a neat, completely symmetrical heart.
Transfer the template to medium-density white cardboard.
Since this heart is a postcard, it is better to immediately write a congratulatory text on a white background. At the end of the work it will be inconvenient to do this.
For the main part of the work you will need colored paper napkins, glue (any), scissors, and a stapler. Napkins are sold in a wide range, but it is better to choose thin, soft, cheap ones.
Fold one napkin in half twice. Secure the middle with a stapler.
Trim the resulting square around the perimeter. You should get a circle (not necessarily an ideal shape).
Take the top layer of paper and press it to the center.
Apply the second, then the third and subsequent layers of napkin to the first layer.Leave only the bottom two or three layers that will stick to the card.
Make 10-15 such flower blanks, depending on the size of the postcard template.
The flowers are glued to the base heart tightly to each other. Straighten the crumpled core to fluff the flower.
Different color combinations of elements will look beautiful. To do this, use napkins of different colors.
If you didn’t write a congratulation on a postcard before starting work, then at this stage it’s not very convenient to do so - the flowers will be crushed. Although here you can find a way out: write on a separate piece of paper and stick it to the valentine.
You can fold flowers not only from napkin squares folded in four. If you cut them into four parts and fasten them with a stapler, you will get blanks for even smaller flowers. They can also be used to lay out the surface of the heart, or to fill the empty spaces between large flowers.
