If you are good with a computer, then you can put your own expressions, wishes or declarations of love on the wrapper.
When the liners are ready, remove the factory wrapper from the small chocolates, leaving only the foil. Then we wrap the sweets with inserts "Love is ...". Now you need to decorate the box in the same style, for this we glue it with blue paper. Glue a heart cut out of pink paper on the front. On top of the composition we put the inscription "Love is ...".
jar with confessions
Necessary materials:
- paper;
- pen;
- scissors;
- thin decorative tape;

Declarations of love can be written by hand or typed on a computer. We put the decorated notes in a transparent jar, on which we glue the inscription "50 reasons why I love you." We decorate the jar with confessions with lace or decorative ribbon.
money rose
Necessary materials:
- 5-7 banknotes of any denomination;
- wire;
- green tape;
- glue;
- artificial leaves.
Manufacturing
If you plan to donate money on February 14, then it is better to give it in the form of beautiful rose. Thus, you will give not only money, but also attention. To create a money rose, fold one banknote in half and bend the edges in different directions. This blank will serve as a bud. 
From the remaining banknotes we make petals: fold them in half and bend the edges in one direction. 
We put the prepared banknotes on the wire, twisting the ends so that the banknotes hold tightly. 
From the obtained blanks we form a rose, placing the petals around the bud. 
We wrap the wire tightly with green tape so that all the rods are together. 
We attach artificial leaves to the stem - this will give the homemade flower a more natural look.
sweets poster
Necessary materials:
- whatman paper or a sheet of cardboard;
- various sweets (sweets, chocolates, juices, snacks);
- multi-colored markers;
- glue Moment.
Manufacturing
A handmade poster with sweets will be an original gift for your significant other on Valentine's Day. Various sweets (juice, chocolate, sweets, etc.) with suitable names are attached to the poster, and phrases describing your attitude towards your lover are located next to it. For instance:
You are mine - the packaging of the drink "Miracle";
I want from you - egg "Kinder Surprise";
You are mine - juice "No. 1";
You are the best - a package of Dobry juice;
Your wife is a chocolate bar "Alenka";
Yours is a package of Tema yogurt.
When all the phrases and sweets suitable for them are ready, it is necessary to lay out a sheet of drawing paper on the work surface and think over the arrangement of objects. We glue the sweets to the poster using Moment glue or a glue gun. It is better to tie heavy packages to the poster with thin decorative ribbons through the holes made with a clerical knife. Next to the sweets, we write suitable inscriptions with a marker. If desired, phrases can be printed on a printer. We decorate the free space between the inscriptions and chocolates with sparkles, rhinestones and hearts cut out of paper. Alternatively, you can cut a heart out of whatman paper, then we will get not just a poster, but a huge valentine with sweets.
coffee heart
Necessary materials:
- coffee beans;
- cardboard;
- scissors;
- cotton pads;
- tin;
- glue;
- brown paint;
- White paint;
- wire;
- jute thread;
- green floral sponge;
- popsicle sticks;
- decorative flowers for decoration.
Manufacturing
A handmade heart made from coffee beans is a wonderful gift for a loved one. Cut out two identical hearts from cardboard. We wrap the wires tightly with paper and glue them to the cardboard heart.
Then glue a few cotton pads on cardboard to add volume.
Glue the second piece of cardboard on top. We glue the resulting heart with a large number of cotton pads so that it acquires a magnificent shape, after which we wrap the figure with a rope.
We cover the heart with brown paint. When the paint is dry, glue the heart with coffee beans.
We paint ice cream sticks with white paint, after which we glue them to a tin can. We wrap the wires on which the heart is held with jute thread so that the ends of the wire remain bare.
We place a floral sponge in a tin can and stick a coffee heart into it. Ready product decorate with decorative flowers and bright ribbons.
Having chosen a gift for February 14, you can pack it in an original way with the help of professionals in a flower or gift shop. Can i on your own it is interesting and uncomplicated to pack our present and thus emphasize how dear to us the person to whom it is intended. There is an unlimited number of ways and ideas of non-banal and exclusive design.
Packaging foil
In order for the present to look neat, it is desirable that it be in the form of a rectangle or square. If it does not have such a form, then you can put it in advance in some container of the appropriate size. Then wrap with elegant foil or parchment in the signature colors of this holiday - white or red - and tie a ribbon in a contrasting color.
Use of stamps
Another method to aesthetically seal our gift is to put homemade seals. To do this, take plain paper and wrap a souvenir in it. Then take a pencil with an eraser on the other end and cut out of the eraser using a clerical knife, a small heart. Next, we dip it in paint and stamp our packaging. Dry and tie the box with ordinary twine.
Kraft paper bag with Cupid's arrow
From half of the office sheet, twist a short tube, securing the ends with a glue gun so that it does not fall apart. From the rest of the sheet with scissors, form the “tail” of the arrow and stick it on the tube. Put a surprise in a kraft paper bag, fold over the top and make 2 holes on the fold. Pass a decorative ribbon through the holes and tie it into a knot. In the loop formed from the braid, insert the arrow with the tip down. Glue it to the bottom of the bundle with a heart sticker.
Shell walnut
For something miniature, such as a ring, pendant or charm, a walnut shell is perfect. We pick out the core from it. We cover inside gold paint or gold nail polish. We put a substrate from a synthetic winterizer or a cotton pad. We put our decoration and cover with the other half of the shell. We tie the nut with a bright satin ribbon.
Thread heart
Another unusual technique is the use of threads. We take an ordinary heart-ball, inflate it to the required size and wrap it thickly with an iris thread, previously moistened with PVA glue. When the glue dries, and the threads take on the shape of a ball, we pierce the ball and pull it out. At the top we make a small incision and put our surprise inside. Sew up the incision suitable color. We tie a strip of smooth shiny fabric on top.
In fact, it is not difficult to beautifully pack a gift with your own hands for Valentine's Day, it is enough to be smart and creative. Priceless is to put your soul into what you create for your loved one. Just imagine how happy your chosen one (s) will be when you, with all tenderness and love, present him with a gift for Valentine's Day, which is at least partially made not by anyone, but by you. Love each other.
Idea number 12(I continue the numbering in the first article of this year) Piñata!
What it is? I will quote Wikipedia: "Playing with a piñata is somewhat reminiscent of a children's game common in Russia, when blindfolded children and scissors in their hands try to cut candies hanging in a row on strings. The piñata is also hung (at home on a hook to the ceiling, also on the street or in the tree garden), one of the children is given a stick in his hands, blindfolded and (optionally) spun in place (the rest of the children constantly move around to confuse the hitter, sometimes - to avoid injuries from the stick - quite far away or sit down), then he trying to find and break the piñata to reveal the candy contents."
You can put anything in there: little surprises, small gifts, vitamins of happiness (remember what it is?) and sweets, of course!
How to make such piñata in the form of a heart, see bklynbrideonline.com or (copy of the page)

The shape of the piñata can be any - here is a moon piñata (a hint of romance under the moon)
Found at diyordie.elleinterior.se
A piñata can be made on the basis of a balloon (we inflate a balloon, glue it with paper - papier-mâché - take out the balloon - put gifts, seal, decorate)
For more details, see the links to the master classes under this photo.

The gift can be wrapped in several packages, each carefully sealed with tape and hidden at the bottom of the abyss of the sea bath
We tested - this idea works! The key to implementation is so that the gift does not float to the surface(if it's light).
Learn it! When we gave a flash drive and filled it with beer (because the gift needs to be washed, right?) in front of the astonished hero of the occasion, the plastic packaging with the flash drive had to be weighted with a bag of coins in advance.

By the way, the gift itself can be thrown from above with a garland (and also plugged into an outlet through a hole in the box - by the way, this is an idea! The main thing is to ask to close your eyes, put your hands on the gift, ask for a wish Do not distract with stories about your love and compliments and turn off the light!)
Well, okay, we digress))
