How do you make an origami heart?

Answer 1

1. Get a rectangular piece of paper.If you draw a design, split it in half as shown; it will end up in the center of the heart. A decoration can be added when the heart is finished as well. 2. Turn the paper to the side that is white

Fold the top right corner downwards so that it meets the left side of the paper. Unfold it, and do the same thing to the opposite corner; do not unfold.

3. Fold the bottom part that's still white in half upwards, so that the white doesn't show anymore.4. Unfold the top part, so just the bottom part is folded.

Then, turn your paper over.

5. Fold the top part down across the center of the cross made by previous creases (along the green line shown; the top edge should meet the yellow line in the image).

Then unfold it again.

6. Turn the paper over again.

Take the left and right sides of the paper (where the horizontal crease is) and pull them toward you. As you pull them, the other two creases should be folding too. Pull the two sides inwards so they touch. This can take several tries if you are new to this.

7. Fold the bottom left corner (just the top layer- not the whole thing) of the top triangle to the top and do the same with the opposite side.8. Fold the left side towards the center and again do it to the other side.9. Fold the entire thing in half vertically, then unfold.

Turn over.

10. Take the two bottom corners and fold them upwards, so they meet at the center.11. Notice at the top there are three individual flaps, two small ones and a big one.

Fold the big one down.

12. Tuck the two corners you folded earlier into the space inside the big flap.13. Fold the two remaining top flaps downwards at an angle.14. Tuck the corners of those flaps into the space in the big flap too.
