In order to build such an unusual present we need:
- canvas for embroidery;
- needle;
- scissors;
- inexpensive embroidery threads (orange, yellow, red, green and brown);
- several brightly colored beads or thread for a bow;
- a cardboard shape of a small paper heart;
- cotton wool or other stuffing material.
To begin: take a cardboard heart shape and redraw it onto a canvas folded in two layers. Before doing this, we connect the canvas with a needle or pin so that the design does not run on the fabric.
Redrawn.
We retreat 0.5 cm from the line of the heart and, using small strokes, parallel to the drawing made, draw another heart.
Now cut out two identical hearts along the second line.
Ready.
We braid two identical braids from orange threads and secure them with thread at the top and bottom.
We attach the hearts to each other (as we cut them out) and sew them together.
Leave the space at the top of the heart unstitched. We fasten two braids and sew another centimeter. Leave a small neck for the filler. It would be a good idea to go over the same route again to strengthen the seam.
Now we pull the braids up.
Turn the heart right side out.
In order to give our valentine the desired shape, using a non-sharpened pencil or a special stick, carefully align the seams in the middle of the product and loosely stuff it with cotton wool or centipon.
Ready.
Sew up the top part of the product. Where the seam goes, we make a bang with orange threads.
All that remains is to embroider the eyebrows and eyes with brown thread, and the mouth with red thread. Embroidery can be applied using both satin stitch and cross stitch - as you like. It is recommended to embroider on the finished product. This way you can more accurately distribute its center.
We decorate the braids with beads or bows from threads.
On the back of the valentine heart you can embroider the name of the boy for whom the gift is intended.
The peculiarity of this product is that it is very easy to make, even for a small child. Also, a girl can give her valentine her hair color, special features and a cheerful smile.
