Valentine's Day gifts. Funny dwarfs

Valentine's Day is now celebrated even inschool. Sometimes on the lessons of labor, children are offered to make hand-made articles and gifts for Valentine's Day. The master class offered by us is quite simple, so it is ideal for needlework with children.

And even if you are already out of school age, you can still try to make a fun and touching dwarf of pine cones. Such gifts for Valentine's Day very cute and nice.

So, let's begin. To make this gift we will need:

• thin cardboard


• pencil or marker


• scissors


• red, white and pink felt


• string of floss in the tone of felt


• needle


• stuffing material


• wooden stick or pencil


• safety pins


• Pine cones


• wood beads


• glue

We fold a piece of thin cardboard in half and draw along the fold half heart. Cut out the contour, unfold the cardboard - we get stencil in the form of a heart. We put the stencil on a piece of felt, we draw around the contour and cut out the heart. We need two hearts of each color.

We take threads of a strawberry and pair stitches heartssingle color. The thread color should contrast with the color of felt; so, the red heart can be sewn with pink threads, white - red, and pink - white. Slightly not finishing the heart, stuffing it with a sintepon or other suitable material with a wooden stick and sewing it up to the end. For each heart, carefully sew a safety pin.

Hearts are ready, now we begin to do gnomes. We take a pine cone and to its apexglue a wooden bead of medium size - this will be the body and head of our gnome. Then we make a hat: from the felt we cut a triangular piece to the size of the head of the gnome, add it and sew it together. Should be a cone-shaped cap. Slightly spread the gnome's head with glue, put on its cap and press it.

Now cut off a piece of thread with a mulina and let it through the buttoned pin on the heart. We wrap the thread around the cone and tie it from behind. Now it seems as though gnome holds a heart in his hands. Do not turn too tight - otherwise it will be hard to remove the heart so you can wear it. Make the right number of gnomes according to the number of hearts.

Funny gift for Valentine's Day is ready! The heart can be worn separately from gnomes as brooch.
