i cut it out of my paper and am just about ready to fold! :D

Folding Process :)

make a triangle with your paper so that the edge lines up with the bottom of the piece. so it makes a triangle. fold it so it repeats this step until you only have a little bit left.

The Tuck

use your scissors to cut the little flap left a bit smaller so that it will fit in the slit created by the previous fold.

Forming the Heart

press with your finger nail into the longest edge of the triangle, so you are pushing towards the corner directly below.
this makes a shape that somewhat resembles a heart.

The Squeeze.

grab the two ends that stick up and and push them in the middle of your forefingers and thumbs so the bottom of the heart puffs out :p

Seeing the Heart Come to Life
