Origami paper heart folding

Fold a square piece of paper in half diagonally and unfold. Place the paper diagonally so that it looks like a diamond. Fold the top corner down to coincide with the bottom corner. Fold the crease and unfold again.
- If square paper is not available, you can cut a rectangular sheet of paper into a square.
Fold the square in half diagonally from left to right, then unfold. Fold the left corner over to coincide with the right corner. Fold the crease and unfold again. [1] X Research Source
- After this step, the square paper will have 2 perpendicular folds.
Fold the top corner of the square down to the center of the paper. Leave the paper lying diagonally like a diamond. The top corner now touches the center of the paper, at the intersection of the two diagonals. Fold the fold down. [2] X Research Source
Fold the bottom corner up to touch the top edge of the folded shape. The bottom corner should touch the middle of the top edge of the folded shape. Smooth folds. [3] X Research Sources
Fold the left and right corners over the top edge of the folded shape. These two corners will touch the midpoint of the top edge, which coincides with the point where the bottom corner touched in the step above. Fold the folds after folding the two corners. [4] X Research Sources
- At this point, the square paper has begun to look like a heart.
Flip the paper over and fold the corners inward to hide the sharp corners. First, fold the left and right corners inward. Next, fold the top 2 corners down. Do not fold the bottom corner. [5] X Research Sources
- Now you have finished folding the paper heart! Flip it over and see!
2-D Heart Folding
Fold the square piece of paper in half horizontally, then unfold it. Place the paper on the flat surface in front of you. Fold the top edge of the paper down to coincide with the bottom edge. Smooth folds. [6] X Research Sources
- If you don’t have square paper, use scissors to cut the rectangular piece of paper into a square.
Fold the paper in half and unfold it. Fold the left edge over touching the right edge. Fold the crease and unfold. [7] X Research Sources
Fold the paper in half diagonally and unfold. First, fold the top left corner down touching the bottom right corner. Fold the crease and unfold. Next, fold the top right corner down to touch the bottom left corner. Fold the crease and unfold again. [8] X Research Sources
- By this time, you should have 4 long folds on the paper and cut each other in the center.
Fold the top and bottom edges to the center, then unfold. Fold both the top and bottom edges of the paper so that they meet at the horizontal crease in the center of the paper. Press both folds, then unfold again.
Fold the left and right edges to the center, then unfold. Similar to what you did with the top and bottom edges, you will fold the left and right edges so that they touch in the center of the paper. Fold both folds and unfold. [9] X Research Source
Turn the paper, fold the top and bottom corners to the center point. Rotate the paper so it looks like a diamond. Fold the top corner down and the bottom corner up so that the two corners meet in the center of the fold. Smooth out the folds and leave it as is. [10] X Research Source
- Now the folded shape will have 6 vertices.
Fold all 6 corners to the center and flatten them. Fold the left and right corners to the center of the paper. At the same time, fold the top 2 corners down the middle along the diagonal folds. Fold the bottom 2 corners up along the diagonal folds. Smooth out the folds and leave it as is. [11] X Research Source
- To flatten the folded shape, you will fold in half horizontally so that the top and bottom edges move away from you. The fold will face you.
- After it deflates, the shape you just folded begins to look like a heart.
Make a concave fold, then a convex crease in the left corner. A concave fold is when you fold towards you, and a convex fold is when you fold away from you. [12] X Research Source
- First, fold the left corner to the center and press down to create a concave crease.
- After creating the concave fold, you will unfold it and fold it backwards along the fold line to create a convex crease. Squeeze down again and open.

Rotate the heart shape so that the fold you just created is facing you. Hold the picture with both hands, one on each side of the fold you’re looking at. [13] X Research Source
Pull the two edges of the folded shape apart until you see a square fold. This square fold should be near the center of the paper, right at the point where you folded the left corner in the previous two steps. [14] X Research Source
- There will be 2 folds that are perpendicular to each other and intersect at the center of the square.

Make convex creases at the sides of the square, then fold them together. Remember, the convex fold is when you fold away. After creating 4 convex folds along the 4 sides of the square, you’ll push the left and right sides together to flatten the folded shape. [15] X Research Source
- When you push the sides together, the square will automatically fold and will be clamped inside the flattened shape. If it doesn’t fold in on its own, you can center your finger and press down.
Rotate the folded shape and fold the 3 left corners using the convex fold. Now you are facing the front of the figure again. [16] X Research Source
- These convex folds help hide the 3 corners and soften the edges for a rounder heart.
Repeat steps 8-12 on the right part. This time, you’ll create a convex and concave crease in the right corner instead of the left corner. Find the square crease on the right part of the shape, fold it to hide the inner square, then fold the 3 corners with the convex crease to round out the edges of the heart. [17] X Research Source
- Once you’ve folded the right side, your heart is done!
