Following on from this morning’s mini inspiration shoot, i have a little tutorial on how to craft the super cute heart origamis. It’s oh so simple once you know how.

WHAT YOU NEED:

A Square piece of paper

1: Fold the piece of paper corner to corner.

2: Unfold.

3: Fold in the opposite direction.

4: You will be left with two lines going from corner to corner, this will help you to line up your folds.

5: Fold the top corner to the middle of the paper.

6: Fold the bottom corner to the top of the piece of paper.

7: Take the entire side of the paper and fold it upwards against the middle line.

8: Repeat for the other side.

9: You now have the basic heart shape.

10: Flip the heart over, and fold the side corner inwards.

11. Repeat on the other side.

12. Fold the top corner down.

13: Repeat on the opposite side.

 14: Flip the heart over, and it is complete.

You may want to secure with a little glue/selllotape… place in a book to flatten. The piece of paper you use will make a difference. I used tissue paper which is prone to creasing and very delicate, a thicker type of paper may be more suited to your project.

Once you memorise the process you will be able to make a whole heap of gorgeous hearts, and it’s really fun :-)

For ideas on how to use the hearts in your wedding décor see this inspiration shoot.

Happy Crafting xoxo Lou
