Servings: 1 Paper origami heart
Cost: $1
Equipment
- none needed
Ingredients
- Paper! I used colored copy paper to start with and then used other types of paper for variation. You can use origami paper, scrapbook paper, or other recycled paper.
- Scissors
- Coloring supplies (optional)
- Black permanent marker (optional)
- Goodies (optional)
- Clear tape (optional)
Instructions
- Cut your paper into a square.
- Fold the paper in half diagonally one direction and open it up. Then fold diagonally in the other direction and open it up. This makes an “X” fold in the paper. Turn the paper so it looks like a diamond in front of you.
- Fold the top corner of the paper down to the center of the paper (marked by the center point of the two folds you made earlier).
- Fold the bottom corner of the paper up to the center of the top fold you just made.
- Fold the right half of the fold you just made up even with the center fold of the paper. Repeat with the left half of the fold so it is a mirror image of the right side.
- There are two small triangle sections above the top fold of the heart, they look like ears. Fold the top right triangle point down to touch the top fold. Repeat with the top left triangle.
- Fold in the point on the right and the point on the left so they make small triangle pieces. Then turn the heart over.
- There is a bonus extra way to fold an origami heart on the website!
