How to fold an origami little heart

Fold a diamond's top corner down and its bottom corner up into a strip, swing the two halves up so their corners poke out as the heart's bumps, then round it off.

You need: 1 square sheet, red or pink on one side. Easy, 4 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Top corner down. Put the square white side up like a diamond. Fold the top corner down to the middle.
  2. Bottom corner up. Fold the bottom corner up to the top edge.
  3. Swing the halves up. Fold the left and right halves of the bottom edge up to the middle line. Their corners poke out above the top as two bumps.
  4. Round it. Fold the tips of the two bumps and the two side corners a little way behind. A round, plump heart!

With love!

Write a note on the back and tuck it into a card, or make a whole string of them.
