Origami Hearts DIY

These Valentine's Hearts are super easy to make - ENJOY!

STEP ONE: Start with your 14cm square sheet of paper placed with the points facing North, South, East, West. (You can download one of the print templates below if you like or create your own pattern.) Create crease lines from one tip, vertically, to the furthest other tip. Make 2 creases so you have an '+' crease across your page.

STEP TWO: Fold the top point down to the centre of the page.

STEP THREE: Next, fold the bottom point upwards so the tip is in line with the top of the page.

STEP FOUR: Fold the right and left side upwards and inwards so the bottom edge makes a vertical line, in line with the centre of the heart. Do this for both sides. (Only the right half is shown folded below.)
STEP FIVE: Turn the heart over.

STEP SIX: Fold the two top points downwards.
STEP SEVEN: Fold the 2 outermost points inwards and flip the heart over. And there you have it.
You can also punch 2 holes in the top centre of the heart and thread a length of ribbon through to add some extra detail.
