Craft for Valentine's Day
From simple and available materials you can create a large and beautiful craft for Valentine's Day. Despite the fact that this holiday is not ours, Russian, and it is not necessary to celebrate it, many of our people who know this holiday celebrate it if they wish. For Valentine's Day, you can create, for example, a craft that sparkles in the sun - a souvenir decorated with particles from CDs. By making such a souvenir yourself, you can save on buying in a store, and at the same time give “new life” to some of your things that have lost the ability to be useful.
To make such a craft, we needed:
- Pencil;
- Scissors;
- Stapler;
- CDs in two shades (gray and green);
- Special scissors for cutting metal;
- One DVD with purple laser surface;
- Glue;
- A piece of foam plastic of medium thickness (about 1.3 cm);
- White napkins;
- Connecting ring and cord.
Starting work, we take a foam sheet of medium thickness and cut out a heart shape from it, approximately 17 cm in length and 21.5 cm in width:
Next we take simple white napkins:
Having folded these napkins twice, we fasten them in the middle with two paper clips (here we need a stapler):
After this, we need to cut out flower shapes from the resulting napkins. To make it easier to work and to avoid making mistakes when cutting, you need to make a sample out of paper in advance:
Next, we need to fold all the layers of paper petals up one by one and, having crushed them, dissolve them (that is, “open” the flower):
After this, we need to glue the resulting flowers to the heart shape:
We need to make only about seventeen of these flowers.
When all the flowers are glued to the heart shape, we will begin decorating our crafts particles from CDs. But first, we must draw the outlines of the image on its surface, and then take five CDs with a laser surface of different shades and, using special scissors for cutting metal, cut them into particles of different sizes and shapes:
From these finely chopped particles, we need to select particles of the appropriate size and shape in order to create from them the image or record we need on a craft:
We decided to cover all the free space on the surface of the foam plastic figure with particles from gray CDs (it seems lighter than green and purple):
This is how we paved the back side, depicting slightly different figures on it:
When working with CDs, it can be difficult to find a suitable particle, but cutting is also difficult: cracks often appear in unwanted areas, the particles crumble and delaminate. They may lose their laser film, which gives them the property of sparkling and shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow, and then you will need to use a lot more glue than expected.In total, we used three CDs with a gray surface, and one each with a greenish and purple surface. Next we need to make a loop. To do this, we take a connecting ring with a silver thread, taken as a lace, and connect them:
We sew the resulting loop to the top of the craft. After binding it is a little noticeable:
After that, that's it - our craft is ready. It can be placed in a closet, hung on the wall by a nail, and it can decorate any room quite well:
