How to fold an origami heart

Two strips folded across the middle, the bottom halves swung up into lobes, then four small corner folds round off the top.

You need: 1 square sheet, 15 × 15 cm. Medium, 8 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Crease the middle. Fold in half side to side, crease, then unfold.
  2. Top edge to the centre. Fold the top edge down to the middle of the sheet.
  3. Bottom edge to the top. Fold the bottom edge all the way up to the top edge.
  4. Turn it over. Flip the strip over from side to side.
  5. Fold the sides up. Fold each half of the bottom edge up to the centre, making a V.
  6. Turn it over. Flip it again so the smooth side faces you.
  7. Round the outer corners. Fold the two outer top corners behind.
  8. Shape the dip. Fold the two inner top points behind to make the dip of the heart.

With love!

Write a note on the back and give it away.
