How to make Origami heart
What you need:
- origami or a square piece of paper (red or other color)
Step-by-step instructions
Start with a square sheet of paper. If you are new to origami, we recommend using origami or two other types of colored paper because this way it will be easier to know where you are. But since this project is pretty easy, regular paper will work just as well.
Fold the paper in half.
Then unfold it and turn it face down (colored side facing your work surface).
Fold in half (colored side on the outside).
Let’s open it again. Fold in half towards the middle.
Turn over (the part you folded should be facing you).
Fold the bottom right corner toward the center.
Repeat the step on the other side.
Turn over (the pointed part will be facing you). Fold the right edge to the middle.
Repeat with the left side.
Now fold the top right corner towards the center.
Do the same with the left side.
You now have a hexagon-like shape in front of you. Carefully bend the top part.
And fold it into the “pocket” at the bottom of the hexagon.
Then, press firmly to create a firm fold.
Gently open the upper right part.
Run your fingers over the folds.
Repeat on the left side.
Grasp the top right corner and fold it over.
Repeat on the left side.
To complete the heart shape, fold the top two corners down a bit.
All has been done!
Flip the heart over and ta-da!
Origami heart is complete!
Let children get creative with colors! While making heart origami, they can try out vibrant shades like purple, pink, and yellow for amazing and eye-catching results!
