How to Make a Woven Paper Heart Basket for Valentine's Day
How to make a wicker basket for Valentine's Day
This woven heart basket is a fun paper craft that you learned in third grade. We used giant butcher paper to make woven hearts for the Valentine's Day box. All you need to make this beautiful little heart is a few pieces of light paper. The big surprise of the last moment of Valentine's Day!
This beautiful weaving project can be used to save small sweets to give to neighbors and friends. Do as much paper work as you can!
Here is a video of the process. The form and instructions are followed step by step in the post.
Materials required for woven paper tubes:
Two-tone light paper (does not work with card stock)
Scissors
Step 1: Cut the heart in half
Start folding the paper in half so that the dimensions are 5.5 x 8.5. You can print this design on paper and then cut it out of scrap paper. It should be 2.5 inches wide 5 inches wide with rounded edges at the top.
Then cut this shape into folds of colored paper and cut two ovals of equal length.
Fold the cut pieces of paper in half.
Step 2: Cut two holes in each half of the heart
Now cut two long slits in each half of the heart. Rounded at the top with curved edges. I'm just thinking about it. You can cut different widths and get completely different end results, so use it!
Make fabrics in 4, 5, 6 or 10 sections that you can knit together! Create lines by cutting different shapes with scissors!
The weaving process is a bit tedious because it opens the vessels of the heart! Don't worry, it's easy.
A simple non-3D texture is done below. It’s a little more complicated because it moves and transcends. Create a 3D basket effect with textures on both sides.
Step 3: Knit a heart out of paper
Hold half of the heart of the paper as shown in the picture below. Start at 3 and slide through slot C 3. Then slide the slot 2C outwards. Then go through C 1.
Then continue weaving from 3b, b to 2, 1 to b.
Finish heart knitting from A 3 to A, 2 to A and finally A to 1.
If you think this is complicated and you will succeed, give it a try! Then check if the fabric inside the core has been processed properly. It should open like a beautiful basket.
Add hanging rings to the basket if necessary. Fill it with candy, hang it on a wreath, make it a more durable decoration with felt, or wrap it with thick paper napkins!
Here's a fun idea:
Make the ring bigger so that someone can knock on the door and you can give them a fun surprise!
That's it! Do whatever you want! Try different numbers in the texture menu. Have a good time!
