Materials:
square of paper the same color on both sides
Steps:
- Valley-fold (see tips below) and unfold the square diagonally in half (figure A).
- Again, valley-fold and unfold in half (figure B).
- Valley-fold through the center, bisecting the indicated angle (figure C).
- Valley-fold in half, closing the heart card (figure D).
- Round out the heart edges by reverse-folding the left corner and mountain-folding the other three on the front and back (figure E).
- The heart card in now complete (figure F).
Tips:
When following the illustrated figures in each step, be sure to:
- hold the paper in the same position as shown in the diagram.
- make all the indicated valley-folds or mountain folds. Valley-folds form ravines (indicated by dash dash dash marks in the figure). Mountain folds produce ridges in the paper (indicated by dash dot dot dash marks in the figure). A mountain fold is a valley fold from the other side of the paper.
- follow the arrows. They point to where the paper should end up.
- always look at not just the step you are on, but also ahead to the next step for which you are aiming.
- make all folds as sharp and precise as possible.
