Simple volumetric paper hearts

Look how original this wall decor looks!

To make a decorative composition of hearts, prepare:

sheets of colored paper (not necessarily only red);
scissors;
pencil;
glue.

⇒ Step 1. Draw hearts of different sizes on a piece of paper. You can use a template to keep the heart shape neat and correct. Use scissors to cut out each shape.

⇒ Step 2. Make a small cut in the upper part of the figure, slightly bend the edges inward. Apply a small amount of PVA glue to the edges.

⇒ Step 3. Use your fingers to grab the edges with glue and press them well together on the back side of the heart.

⇒ Step 4. Hold the glued edges for a couple of minutes.

⇒ Step 5. Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining hearts.

You can first glue the hearts to a sheet of cardboard and then hang the composition on the wall. Or attach directly to the wall using double-sided tape. If the convex shape of the heart prevents you from securely attaching it to the wall, stick a corner of paper on the inside, like this:

Volumetric origami hearts

The origami technique offers a lot of options for making various figures, including three-dimensional hearts. We have chosen for you the cutest, roundest and smoothest. This voluminous shape is achieved by... inflating the heart with air!

To work, you only need scissors and colored double-sided paper.

Detailed step-by-step instructions are shown in the photographs below.

Fold a square piece of paper in half, then in half again and straighten it out.

Fold the corners as shown in the photographs.

The final touch is to inflate the heart through the hole at the bottom!

Hearts in the form of boxes

How do you like these hearts made in the form of a box? This technique can be used to make holiday wrapping for a small gift. However, even as an original craft, such hearts look very interesting, reminiscent of pixel art.

Required materials and tools:

thick paper (for gift wrapping - cardboard);
scissors;
ruler.

⇒ Step 1. Print or draw the template on paper.

⇒ Step 2. Cut it out with scissors or a utility knife (X-Acto knife). Fold over areas to be glued. To make it more convenient to bend thick paper, help yourself with a ruler.

Volumetric paper hearts look interesting from all sides, no matter how you look at them. They can be hung, glued or attached to a shaped card. But first things first. Here are several options for making voluminous valentines with your own hands.

Paper heart using origami technique

Creating such volumetric paper heart won't take much time. It can be either a small surprise for the holiday or a simple decorative element. To make it you only need square paper. Prepared the master class.

First, fold the square in half in the transverse direction. Photo 2.

Then we unfold the square, placing it so that the fold is vertical. After this, we make a small hem at the bottom. Photo 3.

Now fold the workpiece in half. Photo 4.

Let's unfold it so that the half with a narrow fold is located on top. And let's start forming the heart. To do this, we will first make a fold on the right side. Photo 5.

Let's bend it symmetrically to the left. Photo 6.

Let's rotate the resulting triangle 180 degrees and make folds at the corners, bending them up and to the sides. Photo 7.

Let's straighten the folds we just made; we needed them in order to outline guidelines for subsequent work. Photo 8.

At the intersections of the resulting folds with the vertical lines, we make new folds of the side corners. Photo 9.

We bend the corners located below on the inside up and to the right. Photo 10.

Now they need to be hidden. To do this, we put the bent corners into the previously created pockets. Photo 11.

All that remains is to work on the final shape of our heart. Therefore, we make small folds in the corners. All of them are located on the wrong side of the workpiece. Photo 12.

We carefully inflate our heart through the hole located below. At the same time, we bend it slightly at the top. Our 3D paper heart is ready. Photo 13.

This craft can be made from paper of any color. Several voluminous hearts made according to the proposed master class will look good.

The options can be very diverse.
You can use red flowers and voluminous hearts as decorations.
These valentines look very tender.

Option 6. Multilayer card with hearts

Cut a sheet of white cardboard in half lengthwise and fold it like an accordion 4 times.
From colored paper we cut out rectangles (4 pieces) that are sized to fit the side of the accordion.

Glue them 2 pieces on each side of the paper strip. We prepare stencils of three hearts of different sizes.

On the first sheet we cut out the largest heart, on the second - a smaller one, on the third - the smallest, and the fourth side remains intact.

This is what the work looks like from the reverse side.

Fold the accordion and you get a multi-layered valentine.

If you unfold it, then all the hearts are clearly visible through the holes.

Option 7, in the spirit of “yin-yang”

We prepare a stencil in the form of two hearts connected by a curly part in the center.

We cut out a blank from double-sided colored cardboard using a stencil.

We bend along the line of joining the side hearts. And glue a beautiful openwork heart in the center.

Connect the side hearts together. Decorate with small hearts.
The result is a multi-layer valentine in the shape of a book.

You can use 2 adjacent shades. To do this, cut out the middle part with one heart from pink double-sided cardboard, and let the second heart be red.

Glue the red heart to the side. We place a beautiful multi-layered heart in the center. Bend the sides into the middle.

We connect the halves and decorate with flowers. This valentine looks more original.

These multi-layer valentines can be made using stencils from colored cardboard and paper. Some of them even resemble a puzzle, so they will be interesting not only for an adult, but also for a child.

Openwork valentines

Openwork paper hearts they look gentle, like a weightless cloud or a pattern from a skilled artist. They are very easy to make, and the result exceeds all expectations. Here are several options for openwork hearts.

Option 1

First, we cut strips of pink paper about 1 cm wide. Their number must be even.

Now we stack all the blanks one on top of the other, in a stack. On one side we fix the strips with a stapler or PVA glue. And on the reverse side we shorten them trampled on. 2 long ones remain in the center, each subsequent one (symmetrically on both sides) becomes shorter by 1.5 cm.

We divide the strips in half and bend them downwards so that the fixed ends remain in the center of the work. We trim all the edges and again fix them with a stapler or glue.
An openwork heart comes out of stripes.

If the top edge of the strips is connected to the bottom, you will get an equally beautiful heart.

Option 2

Using a stencil, cut out a heart from colored paper. Fold it in half and draw a beautiful pattern. You can depict a tree with fruits in the form of miniature hearts.
Using sharp scissors, cut out according to the graphic design.

We open the resulting blank and see that the pattern on the left and right is the same. But in general it is a branched tree. This technique is called.

All that remains is to glue the openwork heart onto a sheet of colored cardboard in a contrasting shade. The valentine card is ready.

Option 3

Using a stencil, we cut out a blank from white paper and a heart of the same size from red paper. On white paper we draw openwork patterns that are closely intertwined with each other.

Now we fold the red and white hearts and begin to cut out the extra fragments of the pattern with sharp scissors.

This is how beautiful a heart with a beautiful pattern looks.

Glue it onto a yellow rectangle so that the design can be seen even better.

Option 4

Using a stencil, draw a small heart on a sheet of pink paper. The paper must be double-sided.

In this heart we draw a spiral line that follows the contours of the image.

Fold the sheet in half and cut out two hearts according to the graphic design.
They come out like a long spiral.

We fold a white sheet of paper in half and trace the palm so that the little finger is on the fold line of the paper. Cut it out and get something like this.

In the center we glue two openwork hearts, glued together by the centers.
A valentine card called “Our hearts are in your hands” is released.

Option 5

Again, cut out the heart using a stencil on a sheet of double-sided colored paper.

Fold it in half.

And starting from the bottom corner we make cuts, trying not to reach the top edge by 0.5 cm. The distance between the cuts should not be too large (up to 1 cm depending on the size of the base).
When we approach the semicircle of hearts, we need to make an additional fold and make cuts.

Then we unfold the workpiece to its original position. The result is a heart with horizontal stripes.

Now all the stripes need to be bent alternately to the right and left sides so that the heart acquires volume.

The result is weightless clouds in the form of openwork hearts. Smaller hearts look no less original.

If you attach a pink thread or fishing line to them, then the crafts can be hung on a chandelier.
These openwork hearts are quite easily made from ordinary colored paper.
