Heart shaped box
Is Valentine's Day coming up or an important date for your relationship? And you don’t know what to give your loved one. Can be made romantic present with your own hands. For example, make a heart-shaped box, inside of which there will be 50 (or other number) reasons why you love your soul mate.
To do this, you will need thick Whatman paper, scissors, PVA glue, a pen, bright fabric (or colored paper) and various decorations, moment glue.
For a heart-shaped box, cut out two hearts. One heart should be slightly larger than the other (so that the lid can be easily put on). You will also need two narrow strips of whatman paper (this will be the side wall of the lid) and two slightly wider strips (the side of the base of the box). We cut teeth on the edges of the strips so that they stick better.
Then we apply glue along the edge of the heart, take a strip and, bending it along the line of the heart, glue it. We do the same with the other strip.
We do the second part of the box in exactly the same way.
It’s okay if it’s not straight here and there, all the imperfections will be hidden by the decorations.
Then we take the heart template (which we used for the lid), apply it to the fabric and trace it along the contour.
We cut out the fabric, leaving allowances of 5-7 millimeters on all sides. Place the cardboard heart on the fabric, fold the edges of the fabric and glue it with glue.
Now we glue the resulting pink heart to the lid of our box. To decorate the edges of the box, you can glue lace (or ribbon) along the contour.
To cover the defects inside the base of the box, cut out a heart from paper and glue it inside. You can decorate the top with an openwork napkin.
Flowers and lace are suitable to decorate the top of the lid. And the uneven edges of the heart can be hidden with a glitter ribbon. As a result, you will get an elegantly decorated box. But you still need to deal with the content. Inside the box there will be small folded pieces of paper on which will be written the reasons why you love your partner. You can cut the paper into pieces and write the reasons by hand, or you can type all the reasons on the computer and print them out. We roll each piece of paper into a tube and tie it with ribbon or thread. We put the finished pieces of paper in a box and the gift is ready. Your loved one will definitely love this gift.
