Send

The history of the holiday has long been known to everyone. However, the details for which the saint suffered in ancient times, and how this all relates to love confessions, are no longer so important. Gifts are another matter.

Decorate the interior and gifts in the traditional symbols of Valentine's Day!

DIY do-it-yourself cup holders

Romantic table setting

Put a napkin and a rose on a porcelain plate, and decorative wire hearts on top of it.
Take the red aluminum wire and make hearts out of it:

first bend the wire in the shape of the letter U;
then turn it “legs” down;
connect the ends of the wire, twist them and cut them briefly;
in the upper middle of the letter U, squeeze the wire so that a heart is formed.

Such decor will say everything that you would like to express.

Decorative heart of living roses

Luxurious interior decoration is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. In floristic salons you will find the basis for creating such a composition with your own hands:

heart-shaped wire frame "upholstered" with green moss or a special floral sponge that absorbs well and retains moisture for a very long time;
several green shoots, including ivy;
roses of different tones and sizes with short cut stems.

Before you start decorating, tie a beautiful ribbon to the top of the composition so that it can be hung on the wall. And then proceed to the design - you just need to inject the roses into the base.

Flower pot for vases with flowers

Spring flowers are especially fresh and incredibly romantic. Daffodils, tulips, muscari, corydalis and, of course, hyacinths, which will fill the whole room with their fragrance, are best suited. Do not forget about roses - traditional flowers of Valentine's Day.
Take a few wide and not very tall glass flower vases and make a decorative felt flower pot for them:

in shape and size of a vase, cut two identical parts from felt;
cut one or more hearts on each part;
first sew the parts on one short side, then wrap the felt in a vase and sew the parts with each other along the second short cut;
details of hearts use for additional decor.

Personal cup for aromatic coffee

Paint a white clay cup with a matte rough surface with bright colors or markers. Do not forget to write a confession and the name of the person to whom the gift is intended. Decorate the cup with sisal, a satin ribbon bow and a rose. Cut hearts from felt and lay them on a saucer.

Tree of lovers

Let the romantic mood meet you from the doorway. Decorating a tree near the entrance of your beloved or in the yard of a house in the country is very simple.
