I'd like to show you how to make a paper heart. These are very simple to make and quite addictive once you have made your first few.
This design was one of the first in the Hilda & Dolly card range, so it’s definitely a favourite. I hope you enjoy making this heart!
Change the size of your square to create different sized hearts. This will give you a different feel to the design. Why not do a few smaller hearts in different colours. These would look great on a card!
Experiment with different papers. I especially like to use wrapping paper for these hearts but you can use any scrap paper, art paper or even wallpaper.
Collect scrap papers. I have a huge collection of scrap paper. From gift wrap, card liners and off cuttings. Nothing is wasted. I file the scrap paper by colour so I can easily pop my hand on a wonderful off cut whenever a creative spark arises.
Step 1
Cut out a perfect square. The size I use here is 10cm x 10cm.
Step 2
Make three folds in your paper as shown.
Step 3
Bring the top point down to the centre of the paper.
Step 4
Bring the bottom point up to the top edge of the paper.
Step 5
Fold one half up and over to the top edge of
the paper.
Step 6
Fold the other half up and over to the top edge of the paper to form the making of a heart shape.
Step 7
Turn your paper heart around and tuck the four upper points in.
Step 8
Turn your paper heart back around to show your finished love heart.
