With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, this week’s blog post will focus on a craft that’s appropriate for the holiday: paper hearts. I’ve been making these for years now, and they’re a great alternative to store-bought Valentines.<\/p>\n

To start, get a piece of paper of any color. For this demonstration, I’ll use a red 8\u00bd x 11 piece of paper. If you have origami paper or square-shaped paper, you can ignore the next few steps.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Take one corner and fold it down to the other side. Repeat with the other corner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
With the second corner folded downward, fold the remaining part up to create a crease.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Unfold the whole paper. Following the crease you’ve just created, cut out the bottom rectangle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Now you have a perfect square ready for folding! (If you started with origami paper or a square piece of paper, here is where you’ll begin).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Fold the top corner to the bottom corner, folding the paper in half.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Unfold, then fold the left corner to the right corner. Unfold again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Fold the top corner to the center of the square.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Next, fold the bottom corner to the top edge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Fold the bottom right edge up along the center crease.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Repeat with the left side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Fold the top and side corners back. Now you have a paper heart!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
