Origami heart tutorial

　　This origami heart is simple to fold, so it’s a good model for beginners. Use them to decorate handmade cards or gift tags.

　　As with all origami tutorials, my two main rules are fold neatly and crease firmly.

　　Lay your square of paper so it’s like a diamond.

　　Fold in half, point to point, crease and unfold.

　　Do the same again, folding in half the other way.

　　You’ll be left with vertical and horizontal lines running from corner to opposite corner.

　　Fold the top corner down to meet the central crease where the lines cross.

　　Take the bottom corner and fold up so it meets the flat top edge (made in the last step).

　　One side at a time, fold the outer corners up, so the bottom edge meets the central crease (the corner point will now be at the top).

　　You should now have a rough heart shape.

　　Turn the model over and fold in the 4 top points very slightly, to create a more rounded heart shape.

　　Crease these well so they stay in place and turn the model back over.

　　You’re done!
