In Hearts We Trust

Know that feeling when someone cares and wants the best for you and you feel the same way about him or her? There’s a word for that: love. Say it with an origami heart.

1Flip over from top to bottom. 2 Fold in half. Unfold. 3 Fold the top and bottom to meet at the center crease.

4Fold the top half back along the existing crease. 5 Fold the left side up, using the pattern as a guide.

6Repeat step 5 with the other side. 7 Bring the two fl aps back down and unfold along the center. This will return you to the same position as step 4.

8Reinforce the folds that lie along the center diamond shape. Then bring all four corners up to form the heart shape. This action will also cause the bottom diamond shape to invert, forming the base of the heart.

9Spread apart the sides. Fold the four corners inward, using the pattern as a guide. 10 Fold the top four edges inward. Then place double-sided tape behind the two halves of the heart to hold them together. 11 Final result.
