DIY Origami Hearts for Valentine’s Crafts

Origami hearts are a sweet and creative way to show love. Whether for Valentine’s Day, a wedding, or a heartfelt note, these folded hearts add a personal touch. Best of all, they’re easy to make with just a square sheet of paper — no glue or scissors needed.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 square sheet of red or pink paper (15 × 15 cm)

  • A flat surface

  • A little patience and love 💕

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Fold the Paper in Half


Start with the colored side down. Fold the square in half vertically, then unfold.

Step 2: Make a Cross Crease


Fold the paper in half horizontally and unfold again, forming a “+” shape.

Step 3: Fold Diagonally


Now fold diagonally both ways to create an “X” crease. Unfold the paper completely.

Step 4: Create the Heart Shape


Bring the top corner down to the center. Fold the left and right corners inward to form a diamond-like shape. Then, fold the upper triangles down slightly to round the top of the heart.

Step 5: Final Touch


Turn it over — your origami heart is complete! Add it to a greeting card, a love note, or a Valentine’s gift box.

Final Thoughts

Origami hearts are small gestures that make big impressions. They’re perfect for decorations, party favors, or handmade gifts — and a beautiful way to share your feelings.
