Master class heart pendant “Spring”

A woven heart made from newspaper tubes and decorated with a bouquet of tulips made from foamiran.

To work on the product, we will prepare the following materials:
- newspaper.
-PVA glue.
- acrylic paints.
- wire.
- plastic suede in orange, white and green colors.
- scissors.
- narrow ribbon for a bow.
- glue gun.
- some beads.
- elastic fishing line.
-thin decorative cord for the loop.
- a piece of foam rubber.
- paint brush.
- toothpick.
- crepe or corrugated green paper.
- lighter.
Let's start the work by making a heart. You need to wind 20 tubes from newspaper strips 15 cm wide. And immediately insert the wire into one of them. Then bend the shape of a heart from this blank. Then we randomly wind the remaining pieces onto a rigid tube. In some places we fasten with glue.

All that remains is to paint it with red acrylic. Using a brush, carefully grab all the internal areas and allow time to dry.

We attach a decorative cord or ribbon to the dry heart. We tie a loop for hanging, and lower the free edges down. And they can be tweaked.

Now let's move on to making a bouquet of tulips.We will make 5 pieces. First, let's draw templates for the flowers.

Using them we already cut 30 squares measuring 2 x 3 cm from orange foamiran.

Then we turn each blank into flower petals, cutting off the lower corners at an angle, and simply rounding the upper ones.

And now we need three rectangles of 5 x 7 cm in green color. We divide each element in half in length.

Now we cut the corners and form the leaves.

Let's return to the tulip petals, they will need to be tinted. You only need 6 pieces for one flower, so we will make 12 petals red with small yellow stripes. And on the remaining blanks we paint red veins using acrylic paints.

To give the petals a realistic shape, you need to fold each piece like an accordion and scroll the upper edges with your fingers. Then straighten it a little.

But on the green leaves we draw longitudinal stripes using a toothpick.

To assemble one flower, take 1 leaf, 6 petals, 8 cm long wire, thin green paper, a small strip of orange plastic suede.

We will use a glue gun for assembly. Let's start with the wire and wrap it with green paper. Then glue the orange strip onto the edge of the wire in a roll. The result is the middle of the flower on the stem.

Now we attach three petals evenly to the lower part of the center.

Then we direct these parts to the middle and glue them together in several places at the top. Then we fix the remaining three petals at the bottom, in a checkerboard pattern. Then we also lift them up and glue them a little.

The result is a closed tulip.

The shape of the leaves can be changed using the heat of your fingers. You need to fold and pull the top edge of the sheet.

And you need to glue the leaves to the stem closer to the flower.

So we get 5 colors.

All that remains is to collect them into a bouquet, bend them a little, and fasten them with paper.

And on the heart we will place the flowers on one side. At the bottom of the stems we glue a bow from a narrow ribbon.

For the composition, add a bunch of small white flowers to the tulips. And to make them, we take 7 pieces of fishing line, 6 cm each, and the same number of 1.5 cm squares from white foamiran. Six beads. We fold the squares in half twice and scroll with our fingers, then pierce the fishing line into the middle of the resulting cup. And use a lighter to attach a bead to it. And use a pistol to connect the flower. We collect them together in a bouquet.
