HOW TO MAKE ORIGAMI PAPER HEARTS
You’ll need:
1 rectangular piece of paper (20 x 8.3 cm)
Method:
-
Place the paper white side up.
-
Fold the bottom corners up diagonally, then unfold.
-
Fold the top corners down diagonally, then unfold and flip the paper over.
-
Bring the top and bottom edges into the centre and crease well.
-
Fold the right side over to the left, then flip over again.
-
Fold the outer corners in to begin shaping the heart.
-
Create small triangle folds and gently open them into squash folds to form the rounded edges.
-
Fold the top point down slightly to shape the heart.
-
Tuck the left and right edges in a little, flip it over — and your heart is complete.
- Open the flap at the back and write a love note if you wish.
