After the New Year holidays, we begin to prepare for Valentine's Day. It is considered a must-have gift to loved ones. valentine as a sign of attention and appreciation of feelings. Couples in love arrange a romantic evening by candlelight (using decoupage technique). An original surprise for Valentine's Day will be making a napkin holder in the shape of heart for this master class.

To work you will need a square sheet of paper and PVA glue.

Fold the sheet in half.

Unfold and fold it in half again in the other direction.

Having unfolded the square, we fold its edges towards the central horizontal line.

We repeat the same folds after unfolding the sheet in a different direction.

Having unfolded the square, we pay attention to its corners - due to the existing folds, small squares have formed in these places. You need to bend the corners of the squares, focusing on the boundaries of these small squares.

We repeat this on all corners of the large square.

Fold the sides of the workpiece towards the central vertical fold.

We turn our workpiece over to the other side.

We bend the upper part of the workpiece towards the central horizontal line.

We do the same with the lower part, bending it upward.

Triangular folds formed at the corners of the resulting square. They need to be opened a little, and then folded to form a diagonal fold.

We repeat this operation on the remaining three corners.

Now let's start forming the upper edge of our future heart. To do this, we make small bends.

After that, we straighten them, and tuck the resulting folds inward.

We repeat the same on the other side.

Bend the workpiece in half.

To form the bottom of the napkin holder, make a small fold at the bottom.

Then we straighten this fold and form the bottom.

We give the resulting heart its final look. To do this, you need to use glue and fix parts of the heart in several places.

Our napkin holder is ready.

It will become an original decoration for the festive table on Valentine's Day.

A paper napkin heart folded in the shape of a symbol of love will definitely lift your spirits on a romantic evening. Paper heart Not only is it a table decoration, but it is also used at the end of the meal.
The master class was prepared by Mar-K for the Handicraft Lessons website.

The master class is conducted by Svetlana Nikolaevna Myasnikova, a kindergarten teacher from the city of Verkhoturye, Sverdlovsk Region (Municipal Autonomous Preschool Educational Institution “Kindergarten No. 19.”).

The hearts that you will make today in our master class can be Valentine’s cards, Christmas tree decorations, and gifts for a birthday or March 8th. They can also be made in different sizes and used to decorate the house for the holidays or to decorate the holiday table.

Hello! I am Svetlana Nikolaevna Myasnikova, I work as a teacher in a kindergarten. My pre-school children and I decided to take part in your competition.

A very cheap and convenient material for work is paper napkins.

Our idea: make a New Year's toy using napkin balls.

To make hearts from napkins we will need:

- PVA glue,

- napkins,

two shaped pieces made of cardboard (we have a heart and a circle),

- a cord for a loop (on which we will hang our toy).

Step 1. Cut the napkins into 6 x 6 squares and roll them into balls.

Step 2. Dip each ball in glue and glue it onto our cardboard piece. It is better to start gluing along the edge, moving towards the center.

Step 3. We fill our entire part with such balls.
Step 4. We have two identical hearts.
Step 5. When they dry a little, glue a loop on the other side of our work and glue two identical parts together.
This is the heart we got.

7. Hole puncher;

8. Satin ribbon, braid or ribbon for flowers.

Bend a sheet of cardboard in half and draw heart or trace according to the template, then cut it out.

Use a hole punch to make a hole for the tape (optional).

On the back side of the product, in the center, we draw smaller heart.

From roll napkins into balls(lumps, but not too tight (the ball should not open, but at the same time be slightly “disheveled”).

Along the inner contour apply glue to hearts.

We begin to lay out white lumps along the contour.

Laying out the outline heart– fill everything with lumps heart. We try to place the lumps close to each other.

We start gluing the red lumps from the edge heart, gradually moving towards the center. We glue the lumps as close to each other as possible so that there are no gaps left.

Napkins and cardboard are accessible and inexpensive materials; the main thing is to show your imagination and spend precious time making voluminous hearts.

Craft a heart from napkins

Paper or cloth napkin;
-flat surface;
-iron;
-ironing board.

An easy way to fold a napkin

Take a napkin and place it on a flat surface. Fold it horizontally, connecting the bottom edge to the top. If the napkin is made of fabric, iron the fold. If it is paper, carefully smooth the bottom edge with your hand.

Fold the napkin in half again and horizontally. Iron or press the folded edge tightly. You will get a long narrow rectangle. Fold the napkin in half from right to left. Now lay out the napkin. There will be a vertical fold in the middle.

Using the vertical fold line as a guide, fold the left edge toward the middle so that it lies perpendicular to the right edge. There will be a corner at the base of the napkin. Now fold the right side in the same way. The napkin will resemble an inverted “house”.

Turn the napkin over to the reverse side. There will be a triangular pocket at the base of the napkin. Fold the top ends of the towers horizontally so that their edges line up with the top edge of the triangular pocket. Now straighten them out. You will mark a fold on each “tower”. Fold the left and right corner downwards at each end until it touches the fold line. Press the corners or iron them. Turn the napkin over. The heart is ready.

Before folding a fabric napkin, it should be thoroughly ironed.

The best color for a heart napkin is red or pink. Hearts in white, blue, yellow and green will also look interesting.

Place a heart-shaped napkin in the middle of the plate. On top of it you can put a wine glass, a small gift, a flower or a card with wishes for Valentine's Day.

The paper napkin is usually small and already folded in four. Before folding a paper napkin, it is better to straighten it.

A complicated way to fold a napkin

This method is suitable for fabric napkins. With this arrangement, the festive table will look like in a restaurant.

If the napkins are large, it is more difficult to fold them so that they hold their shape. A large napkin can be made smaller by first folding it into a square. To do this, fold each end of the napkin towards the middle.

Now you can start folding the heart. To get a long rectangle, as in the first example, fold the bottom edge up, slightly short of the middle of the square. Fold the top edge in the same way. Now you can fold the napkin in half, placing the bottom part on top of the top.

After this, you can repeat all the steps from the first example. To prevent the upper edges of the heart from falling apart, it is not necessary to use an iron. You can simply put the corners of the “turrets” inside the triangular pocket. To do this, you should first bend the edges from the inside of the “towers”. You will get two more pockets inside each “tower”. You can wrap the outer edges of the napkin in them. Then it will keep its shape and will not straighten out.

To ensure that hearts made from fabric napkins retain their shape well, you can make them in advance, the day before the holiday.
