Making Cute Valentines for People You Love

There's little time left before St. Valentine's Day, so one could make a nice souvenir with his own hands!

For this, you need:

  • PVA glue
  • paint on fabric
  • cotton cloth
  • a piece of fleece
  • two types of wire (thin and thicker)
  • polyester batting
  • thread
  • tape
  • pencil, permanent marker
  • wire cutters
  • scissors
  • sewing machine
  • pattern

And here is the pattern (by Marianne Averyanova):

Sew the hearts, leavу a hole for stuffing, turn it outside in and stuff properly.

Make the legs: bend 40cm of the thicker wire:

Wind the tape:

Make two holes where to insert the legs:

Take fleece ribbon with width 1.5 cm, wrap the legs:

Make a liquid for priming. A half cup of water + two tablespoons of PVA glue + paint + any flavouring (I added vanilla and rum).

Properly impregnate the toy and put it to dry in the oven at 150 degrees for 40-60 minutes with the door open. I put the toy in a ceramic mug, made it stay vertically.

While the heart dries, make hands — use the thin wire of 26-28 cm wrapped with thread. The ends of the thread are fixed with a drop of glue:

Then, apply them any shape:

Draw and paint the face:

Pierce the toy to insert the hands:

Wrap with the tape:

And with thread:


Don't tear off the thread, bring it to another hand:

Make a haircut for the smaller heart:

Our two hearts are ready! You can now dream of creating romantic scenes. The toys can be glued to any base:

If you lack time, sew hearts with loops to hang at:

Thank you for your attention, wish you love, joy and creativity :)
