HEART SHAPED GIFT BOX

Send

If you have a ready-made template, then making a heart is easy. And if not? Then do it yourself! True, it is necessary to carefully measure each face, otherwise, when gluing, the crafts will not assemble. Therefore, if you have perseverance and patience, then this heart model is for you. To make such a craft, prepare a sheet of red paper. It is better to take paper thick, but not thick. Then, when gluing crafts, you will not experience difficulties, and in the finished form, the heart will keep its shape well. You will also need a ruler, a simple pencil, scissors, glue and a sheet of white paper.

Work sequence
The heart is a three-dimensional figure consisting of a broken line that forms 8 short edges 1.5 cm long and two long side faces 6 cm long. The heart thickness is 2 cm. In the finished state, the heart is 7 cm high and its width is 7 , 5 cm. Cut a heart out of white paper. To do this, fold the sheet in half.

Set aside a 6 cm length section upward. This is the distance from the tip of the heart to the notch in its upper part.
From the top mark, draw a horizontal support line to the right. And from the same mark, sweep up the beam at an angle of 45 °. On this beam, measure a segment of 1.5 cm. This will be the edge of the notch. From the end of this segment, draw a horizontal line 1.5 cm long to the right. This is one of the tops of the heart.

From the end of the second line, draw a line 1.5 cm long downward at an angle of 45 °. To do this, place the ruler on the sheet so that the measured segment is connected to the auxiliary horizontal line.

From the end of this segment, draw down a line 1.5 cm long. This is the side of the heart.

Now connect the end of the line to the bottom mark on the fold.

Cut out the heart pattern.

Expand. Take control measurements: all short edges should be 1.5 cm long.

Take a sheet of red paper and place it vertically. Turn the sheet over to the wrong side. Draw two vertical parallel lines in the middle of the leaf, the distance between which should be 2 cm. This is the thickness of the heart.

Draw a horizontal line below to define the bottom edge of the template.

Measure up 6 cm - the distance equal to the length of the side inclined face of the heart. Draw a horizontal line.

Then measure on vertical lines another 8 segments (the number of faces) of 1.5 cm each. Connect them.

Attach the heart template with its side edge to the first short sector.

Gently circle with a pencil.

Do the same on the second side of the vertical lines.

Now you need to draw on the model the details with which you glue the upper and lower parts of the heart together. To do this, on both sides of the vertical lines, draw two lines at a distance of 0.5 cm from them.

From each small sector, draw dashes at a slight angle to each other.

Connect them together as shown in the photo.

Then measure up a distance of 6 cm and connect the two sides together with a horizontal line. On the sides of this rectangle, draw details for gluing the model.

Pay attention to the photo. At the top and bottom of the template, also draw the fasteners.

Cut the workpiece. Cutting out the heart, connect it to the fastener, also cut.

You will get such a template.

Bend the side fasteners upward at an angle of 90 °.

Bend all parts of the template along the drawn lines.

Start gluing the template. Glue each side trapezoidal fastener with glue on the front side, and sequentially lay next to it the face of the heart. If you notice a slight discrepancy in size, trim immediately.
