How to make an origami heart: a diagram, a master class, video / Toys with their own hands, patterns, video, MK
This origami heart is not very difficult, but beginners in this art should practice on scrap paper. The heart will look more interesting if you choose paper with a contrasting color on the sides. The paper shape will need to be rectangular, the length should be twice the width.
Step-by-Step Schema
- Place a sheet of paper horizontally, bend it in half, unfold.
- The right lower corner is bent upwards to the middle of the sheet so that a triangle emerges. Straighten the sheet, do the same with the other corners.
- A rectangle with two letters "X" came out. Intercept one of them in the center, bring your fingers together, crush the formed funnel on top, so that it forms a triangle.
- Repeat this for the second "X".
- Bend the free corners to the center,perpendicular to the fold, lift the formed triangle. Pushing on the central axis, spread it to make a square. Repeat for the remaining three triangles.
- Turn over the workpiece. Take the upper corner of the diamond and drop it down to the bottom corner. Turn the workpiece over to the front again.
- The edges of the squares resulting from step 5 are bent from the central axis to their center.
- Corners along the edges bend back so that the shape now resembled an origami heart.
- Expand the triangles as in step 5.
Turn the hand-crafted thing to the front. A heart of origami with a flower is ready. They can be decorated with a gift box or it can be used as a bookmark.
