HEART TO THE DAY OF ALL LOVERS

Send

Very soon, Valentine's Day, the people still call him St. Valentine, and we are already preparing gifts. On this day, it is not at all necessary to run headlong into the store and look for some gift, just think a little and make a souvenir for the holiday with your own hands. Today’s master class is very good for us.
So, what kind of materials will we need:
• Two foam hearts;
• Napkins for decoupage with the image of Teddy bears;
• White acrylic paint;
• Coffee beans, about 20-30 grams;
• PVA glue;
• Acrylic varnish for decoupage;
• Clay "Titan" or "Dragon";
• Brushes for decoupage and acrylic paint;
• Two bamboo sticks;
• Gold acrylic paint;
• Two bowls and a plate;
• Red ribbons, half beads, glutinous ladybugs, red shiny hearts;
• Plastic bag;
• Ordinary kitchen sponge;
• A pair of ear sticks for glue.

We cover the table with a package, pour white paint in one bowl, then we take a sponge, dip it in paint and color the hearts on one side. We give time for drying, about 40-50 minutes, and then apply a second layer and also let it dry.

In the second bowl, we dilute water and PVA glue in equal proportions, mix well. A glue mixture was prepared. Now we take a napkin for decoupage and carefully cut off the two bears that we need for hearts. On the one hand, we will decorate the hearts with decoupage technique, and on the other, we will glue the hearts with coffee beans.

Now we remove the topmost layer separately from each picture.

The drawings are ready, the surface of the hearts is completely dry, proceed to decorating. We apply one bear to the heart and glue the mixture to glue the pattern on the heart. We begin to glue the picture from the middle.

Also, glue the second bear on the second heart. The drawings are glued, let the surface dry. Then we take an acrylic varnish for decoupage and apply a layer on the hearts, again let it dry.

Now we pour coffee beans into a plate, from below we insert a bamboo stick into each heart, take Dragon glue and glue a grain along the edge of each heart and also the back side of the heart. Leave the hearts to dry, better, of course, at night.

After the hearts have completely dried, the grains are firmly stuck, we take an acrylic varnish and a brush and completely varnish the whole heart, both where the drawing is and on top of the coffee beans. We cover with 2-3 layers of varnish so that the surface acquires a shine. Now we are preparing the decor. From red ribbons from organza we tie small bows. We paint a bamboo stick in gold color with acrylic paint. We take red shiny hearts, ladybugs, half beads.

With a glue gun, glue a bow made of organza at the bottom of the heart, glue a shiny heart in the center, and tie a small red bow from a narrow satin ribbon on top and glue with a gun, and glue a ladybug and a half bead in the center. All hearts are ready. Thanks to everyone and a pleasant creation.
