Description of an easy way how to make origami hearts

How to make a pleasant surprise to your second half, gently recalling the feelings? You can make, for example, a small paper heart and decorate them with gift wrapping. Or just give a great product by signing it and using it instead of a postcard. Perhaps the most popular are folded handicrafts. Let's figure out how to make origami. Hearts can be different in size, shape and way of folding. Below is the simplest version. The origami scheme "Heart" will help to perform the work quickly and simply, based on a step-by-step guide.

Necessary materials

The described method, how to make origami hearts, will create it in the form of a flat souvenir, while the reverse side will be different from the front one. On the back will be visible bends and jams, so it is more appropriate to use a heart to decorate flat objects. Therefore, the paper can be used not very dense, painted only on one side. You can take for work and more dense material, for example, colored cardboard. But in this case it will be necessary to simplify somewhat the work in the first stage of folding. Also, you will need scissors, ruler, a simple pencil for work. Adhesive, adhesive tape (Scotch tape) will be needed to secure the finished heart. You can also connect two products into one, which will allow using such an article for hanging.

The first stage is the preparatory

Now you will learn how to make origami hearts. Start with the preparatory work.

1. On a sheet of colored paper, draw a template in the form of a square. To do this, measure the width and set aside the same length along the length. Draw a line perpendicular to the long sides, and then cut the excess piece of paper with scissors.
2. Fold the square in half with the front face upwards to mark the middle line, then turn it back.
3. Rotate the workpiece 90 ° around its axis. Fold it in half to get a two-layer pattern. The bend point should be located along the upper horizontal line.

The workpiece is ready for further work.

The second stage is the folding of the heart

Now you can proceed directly to manufacturing.

1. Make two bends on the double-layer template according to the diagram.
2. Closer to the middle line of the workpiece, execute two more curls (see the figure).
3. Then fold the paper in the form of "accordion" along the lines.
4. Rotate the layout 180 ° around its axis, facing away from itself.
5. Pull the projecting plane outward.
6. Spread and press the top, forming an angular notch, characteristic of the heart.
7. The two lower corners are overlapped, bringing them to the middle line towards each other. Press and iron the bending lines to obtain more distinct contours.
8. Form the shape of the heart. To do this, wrap the uppermost corners to the bottom to a small amount so that the product is proportional.
9. Scroll the heart back around its axis, facing up.

So, we have considered the simplest way how to make an origami heart. But there are many other ways of modeling. Let's talk a little about creating crafts by cutting and gluing in separate places.

Other variants of making hand-made articles

Of course, any origami "Heart" looks very impressive. There are other, fairly simple options for making a love souvenir. You can, for example, create a volume from a flat sheet, easily making small hearts for hanging.

1. Cut out several pieces of paper in the shape of a heart (the approximate size of the square is 5 x 5 cm).
2. Then make small notches on the middle line in the direction downwards (by 1.5-2 cm).
3. Fold the loose parts above the slit under the paper. Stroke the ruler along the top of these lines for clarity.
4. Apply a small amount of glue to the bent oversizes, and then connect both sides together. The middle heart will bend at the same angle, creating a volumetric effect.
5. Glue the ribbons on the inside to hang them. Also, you can fix such a heart on a small stick.

Now you know how to make origami hearts in simple ways. Any crafts made by yourself will become a pleasant surprise for your loved one. It will become a manifestation of love, care and tenderness.
