Be my Valentine!
Fill "sweet" heart pendants for your sweetheart! Every year on 14 February it's Valentine's Day! On this day, you give your sweetheart something special. And to make sure that this year it's not a cinema voucher or a romantic candlelight dinner, we've come up with a great DIY idea: filled heart pendants! Of course, you still can't miss the champagne and the crafting is very quick. Let's get started!

1) Prepare hearts.
First, take a piece of strong paper. Place one half of the small heart shape (60 mm) on it and trace the contours with a pencil. Then cut it out. Repeat the whole thing twice. It is important that the paper hearts are slightly smaller than the outline of the shape so that they will fit inside the heart. Write a few loving words on each of the two paper hearts. I chose "You & Me" and "For Ever" because I chose "You & Me" and "For Ever" because I picked a couple with a crush and loving pensioners as matching characters.

2) Fill the hearts with figures and chocolates, ...
Now stick your figurines onto the previously labelled hearts with the temporary glue. I find especially “For Ever” very suitable for the pensioners couple on the bench, because the recipient knows immediately what he or she is :) The glue has to dry a bit. In the meantime, you can fill the chocolates into the larger decorative heart (100 mm). I originally wanted to fill the heart with Raffaellos until I stumbled across these super-stylish chocolates on my way to the supermarket checkout, so I had to take them with me!

3) ... put it together, put a ribbon on it and you're done!
Now you just have to put the two hearts together. When making the praline heart, make sure that none of the sweets get between the two halves - that would be too bad. Then better eat one of the chocolates right away if they don´t all fit :) Place the two paper hearts "back to back" in the small heart, so that you can see the lovers smooching in the front and the pensioners in the back. There are small eyelets at the top of the deco hearts through which you can pull a beautiful ribbon to hang the hearts around the neck of the champagne bottle later.
Your crafted results

Now you have a super sweet Valentine's gift for your sweetheart. And surely some of the chocolates and champagne will fall off for you :) And: Don't forget the roses! Fresh flowers are always great at this time of year. I wish you a wonderful Valentine's Day together!
