We make a valentine with our own hands

first, print out our stencils: one on a white sheet, the other on a red sheet. If you want to increase or decrease the size of the postcard, then move the drawing to paper, and then build the desired option with a pencil and ruler. Note that one half of the postcard is bigger than the other. Do not try to make them the same;

After the image is transferred to paper, cut it out along the contour. The following should be obtained:

now you need to properly fold the second half; "X" bend forward very carefully, trying not tocrumple and not tear. Note that the two parts of our volumetric valentine are a mirror image of each other. If you have everything the same as in the photo, then you are moving in the right direction;

bend both parts along dashed lines, they must be a mirror image, and then insert one part into the other and fix the edges with glue; The work is almost complete, it remains only to make beautiful voluminous "hearts".

half a white heart bend forward. Note how to do this:
