And our ideas for Valentine's Day will help you decorate your home and create a romantic atmosphere in it. Or maybe you want to get ready for a theme party. Then read the article to the end, and learn a lot of cool ideas. By the way, these decorating options themselves can be called universal. After all, they can be used not only on Valentine's Day. They will be useful to you if you want to make a surprise for a significant date or the birthday of a loved one.

1. The tree on which the words of love grow

To make such a decor, you will need several branches of a fancy shape and colored paper. Place the branch in a vase and hang the paper-cut hearts with themed inscriptions on it. For example, you can write on them declarations of love or the best qualities of a loved one that you admire. If desired, the branch can be covered with white, pink or red paint from an aerosol can.

2. Unusual contrasting postcard

Valentine's Day is impossible to imagine without the exchange of "Valentines". A postcard made with your own hands will show the power of feelings much better than one purchased in a store. Fold a sheet of thick paper in half. Mark the contours of the heart on it and draw the stripes. Fill the contours of the stripes with black paint, and the hearts with small red buttons glued with acrylic or silicone glue.

3. Romantic garland of countless hearts

Even a child can make such a garland, and it looks more than impressive. Fold the thin strips of colored paper in half and bend in the middle. The free edges of the strips are stapled together with a stapler or simply glued together. The first heart is ready. Then pass a couple more strips through it and repeat the described procedure. It remains only to be patient and collect the garland of the desired length.

Another option is to make a large heart consisting of several small ones. The edges of the narrow strips of paper, folded together, glue together. The two stripes in the middle remain free. The free edges of the remaining strips are glued to this middle on both sides.

4. Coffee-scented love

Ordinary candles in a red and white color scheme – a good, but a little boring version of the decor for Valentine's Day. We offer to diversify it – to make a candle holder with your own hands, which will exude a pleasant coffee aroma. Just fill a small glass container with coffee beans and put a flat candle in it.

To light up a romantic Valentine's dinner, take miniature candles in glass sconces or place a sumptuous three-or five-candle candelabra on the table. Very romantic look small halogen flashlights that give a warm light. Or buy ordinary light bulbs and paint them with paint for stained glass in the desired shade.

5. Souvenirs for friends from the bottom of your heart

The basis for making such a decor, which can be used as a souvenir to friends or for home decoration, are hearts made of colorful cardboard. In order for the threads to be held in the desired position on the image, you need to cut its edges in the form of a zigzag. Tie the first turn of the thread on the heart-base. Use the free long edge to wrap the heart in a circle. In this case, the thread connects the opposite cutouts at the edges of the card.

6. Cozy panel in country style

As a basis for the panel, you can use cardboard or a small board covered with a cloth. The heart itself is made of short colored sticks. Draw the outline of the heart on the fabric and glue the sticks to it with acrylic glue. Then you can start filling in the contour. Three to four layers of sticks glued on top of each other is enough to create an exclusive home decor.

7. Simple yet spectacular decor for a festive dinner

Paper and scissors – everything you need for a cute decor that will decorate the festive table. Fold the paper several times, draw a heart on it and cut it out. The more hearts there are on the table, the more elegant it will look.

8. Strawberry hearts in champagne

Hearts cut from strawberries will look especially impressive on low champagne glasses. We recommend choosing berries of medium maturity, otherwise the edible decor will not be firmly fixed on the glass.

9. Fire and Water

Bright candles, the traditional decor of a festive table, will look new if you lower them into a container filled with water. Floating rose petals will make the composition even more romantic.

10. A decor that will appeal to the sweet tooth

Decor for a festive table can be made in a matter of moments. Simply fill glass vases or tall glasses with bright candies.

Rose petals look very romantic, for home decor you can use both natural and artificial. Rose petals can be placed on the heart of the bed, they can be scattered on the floor in the form of a path to the festive table, and they can also decorate the table, just scattering them on the surface of the countertop. By the way, rose petals can be made from corrugated paper.

12. Stuffed animals

Soft toys hugging hearts will also greatly emphasize the festive atmosphere, they can be placed on the shelves, lined up on the windowsill or put at the bottom of them on the festive table. In addition, from small bears, you can collect a whole bouquet, for this, teddy bears must be strung on skewers, and wrapped with beautiful packaging paper, tied with a bow. This bouquet will not only decorate the room, but also serve as a great gift for the second half. Such a gift will only need to be supplemented with a cute exclusive Valentine.
