Today’s the final day of fun Valentine’s Day Ideas. We are going to show you how to make an origami heart and, because we are feeling the love, we are also having a surprise Valentine’s Day giveaway! You could win a custom necklace or keychain from my Etsy shop – Jewelry and Scraps. You get to design it and I will have it to you in time for Valentine’s Day!
Supplies
- 3 x 6″ sheet of origami paper OR single-sided scrapbook paper – you want one side to be white, the other side can be printed or solid color
- Bone folder, optional
Instructions
Step 1. Fold paper in half horizontally with the white side in. Crease well and unfold.
Step 2. Fold top and bottom halves to center fold line (from previous step). Crease well.
Step 3. Unfold the bottom half. Fold the bottom edge up to the fold line immediately above. Crease well. (Leave folded as in picture for step 3.)
Step 4. Fold in half side-to-side. Crease well. Unfold.
Step 5. Flip paper over. (White stripe will be toward table). Fold both sides diagonally to the center fold line. Crease well.
Step 6. Flip paper over again. Make four small diagonal folds to shape the heart.
Flip over and enjoy your striped origami heart!
