Heart from Triangle

Learn to make this easy origami heart made from a triangular sheet of paper. It takes less than 5 minutes and if you start with a square sheet of paper, you can cut it into two triangles and make two hearts!

Heart from Triangle instructions

1. Start with a square sheet of paper with the white-side facing up.
   Fold and unfold along the diagonal in both directions.
2. Cut the paper along a diagonal to make an isosceles triangle.
    

 


3. Fold down the peak of the triangle: make the fold at
   approximately 1/3 of the way down (doesn’t have to be exact).
4. Fold up the left and right bottom-corners so the edges
   meet in the middle.
    



5. Turn the model over.
6. Fold down the corners of the paper as shown; this makes a heart shape.
7. Round the heart-shape by folding in the pointy corners.
    



8. Turn the model over and you’re done!
