I was first taught how to make this heart by a good friend, and I've made hundreds of them since- they make sweet cards if you're in a rush or an extra touch to a little note.

Instructions
-
1
Start out with a rectangular piece of paper. I just took an 8.5x11" sheet of printer paper and quartered it.
-
2
We're going to call the bottom part of this the 'square' and the other part the 'rectangle' of this piece of paper.
Diagonally fold the square -
3
And then the other way
-
4
For some reason, blogspot rotates some of my photos. If you have any idea how to fix this, please tell me!
Anyway...
Flip your paper over. -
5
Fold the square in half.
-
6
And unfold
-
7
Flip it over.
-
8
Start squeezing the edges of the fold you just made in toward the center...
-
9
...Until you get this....
-
10
...and then squish it down flat.
-
11
Fold the rectangle in half down to the square
-
12
Fold the upper triangle down to the center.
-
13
And the other one.
-
14
Flip it over.
-
15
Fold the entire paper in half...
-
16
...so you get a center line!
-
17
Now fold the edge in to that handy dandy center line.
-
18
And the other one.
-
19
Now fold only the upper triangle down.
-
20
Because the lower triangle tabs will be folded down at an angle. These will be the two round shapes at the top of the heart.
-
21
Tuck them into the big triangle.
-
22
Fold the bottom corners up now...
-
23
And stick them into the slot too.
-
24
You're done! This is what the back should look like.
-
25
And the front
-
26
You can write a little message in them too. Just unfold it like this...
-
27
...Write your message on the inside...
-
28
...And re-fold it. Make sure you write instructions for anyone who doesn't know how these are folded!
