The document provides instructions for making three romantic gifts for Valentine's Day:
1. A lightbulb filled with wire heart cutouts and attached to a wooden base with a love note.
2. Memory candles created by soaking photocopied images on contact paper and adhering them to glass candle holders.
3. Playing cards labeled with "52 Reasons I Love You" and threaded onto rings to create a book.
2. The Objectives:
The objectives of this PowerPoint presentation
is to teach the learners how to make romantic
gift for their love ones in simple ways especially
that valentines day is already coming.
It can also be a good drill or exercise for
MAPEH Classes.
To help learners to think outside the box that
from simple materials to a lovable things.
3. THE FIRST GIFT
materials:
1. red thin gauge wire (available at craft stores)
2. light bulb (any standard incandescent bulb with a regular
size base will do..no fluorescent or halogen bulbs)
3. pliers
4. screwdriver
5. safety goggles
6. scrap piece of wood or wood cube (craft stores usually sell
wood for crafts and would have a small square or chunky piece
that would work)
7. 2 pins
8. paper and pen (or type written message)
9. wire cutters
10. hammer and nail (optional- if you are using soft balsa or
craft wood these are not necessary)
11. hot glue gun
VALENTINE LIGHTBULB
4. Instructions
1. prepare a surface on a work table for
hollowing out the bulb. make sure the area is
large because little chunks might jump off
the base when you crack the glass.
2. follow these instructions on how to hollow out
the light bulb fromteamdroid.com. these are
easy to follow instructions that also give good
tips on safety and procedure.
6. 3. when you have your bulb ready, clean the outside
carefully and put it to the side somewhere where it is
protected from breaking.
4. cut a ten inch piece of wire to make a heart
filament. fold the wire in half to create a sharp
crease, then unfold. about an inch from the crease,
take both loose wire ends and loop both wires around
to create the heart halves. then pull both wires back
down, overlapping the center of the crease and
extending beyond the heart shape. you may want to
tweak the heart halves a little to get heart shape
that you like. your heart should be about 1/2 wide so
it will fit through the base of the bulb pretty easily.
8. 5. if you want two or more heart filaments in your bulb, repeat
step 5 one or more times.
6. take your filaments to your bulb and hold them up to see how
long the stems need to be to have the heart filaments
positioned in roughly the center of the bulb. use your pliers to
cut the extra wire off the ends. also test that they fit int o
your bulb without having to smush them or distort the shapes.
if that is the case, make them smaller.
7. if your wood is soft, you should be able to poke the wire
filaments down into the top of the wood and they will stay in
position. if you are using a firmer wood, use a hammer and nail
to create a small guide hole. then remove the nail and push the
wire down into the hole. you may want to secure these with glue
as well.
9. 8. now fit your glass bulb over the filaments
and glue the bulb down to the wood at the
base.
9. use the pins to attach your love note or
message to the front of the piece of wood.
YOURE DONE!!
11. Making Memory Candles
1. The first thing you want to do is find
images that you want to use. Old black and
white photos work best because of the high
contrast. When you photocopy the image,
play around with the contrast and resolution
controls on the copier to get the results you
desire. Again, high contrast works best. Oh,
and it won't work with inkjet printers. Either
photocopy the images or print using a laser
printer.
The Second Gift
13. 2. Cut a piece of the transparent contact paper
(usually found with the shelf-liner papers at
discount stores) to fit over your photo layout.
3. Peel the backing from the contact paper and
place the photocopied image ink-side to the sticky
side of the contact paper. If there is any excess
sticky parts of the contact paper, adhere plain
white paper to it.
4. Burnish or rub the contact paper to the inked
parts of the photocopy. It's best to do this from
the paper side instead of the plastic contact paper
side. Be careful to rub all of the areas of the image
where there is ink.
15. Trim the contact-paper-covered print out to size.
Please note: It works best to let the contact paper
wrap around the candleholder completely.
16. Next, soak the paper-covered plastic in a
sink of warm water for at least 7 minutes.
17. Some of the paper may begin to fall off on its
own. Working under running water, carefully roll
your thumb and/or fingers over the inked
plastic to remove all of the paper. Don't rub too
hard or the ink will start to come off.
18. After all the paper is removed, allow the
strip to dry, inked (and soon-to-be-sticky-
again) side up on a table or counter. As long
as the contact paper is wet, it isn't sticky.
As it dries, the tackiness will return. You
may see bits of paper you missed when the
piece was wet. If this happens, just work
with it under running water, using your
thumb to rub off all traces of paper.
20. Finally, adhere the inked contact paper to a
clean and dry glass votive holder. Add a
candle... and tah-dah!
21. Don't be limited to just photos...you
can do this with a cherished letter
(photocopy!) or a quote that you
really like. Or a combination of photo
with a quote. It's so much fun. Give it
a try!
23. 1. Find some playing cards! Have a pre-
aged Vintage look.
2. Scuff them up with some sandpaper to
give them a used feel as well as a used
look.
INSTRUCTIONS
24. 3. Create a template with one of the
spare cards (for example one of the
Jokers)
4. Punch two holes in each cards using the
template as a guide
26. 5. Create your reasons labels to attach to
the cards - detailed information below.
Use another Joker card to create the
front cover.
6. Using double sided tape and/or glue -
attach the inserts to the cards. Using
glue will take longer to dry and will stiffen
the cards up adding more dimension
28. 7. Create all 52 of your reasons
cards and let the glue dry.
8. Thread onto book rings
And youre DONE
