Origami Bat-Winged Heart

For this, I used a single sheet of paper that was purple on one side and white on the other (I didn't have red paper left).

You will need a sheet of paper and a slight bit of origami skill. The paper can be colored on both sides, or it can be white on one side and colored on the other.

The first thing you do is start with the colored side up and fold it in half diagonally.

The next thing you will do is fold the left corner up to the top.

Now, fold the left corner up to the top.

Flip the paper over so you see a solid white (or colored) square.

Fold the top corner down to the bottom corner.

Fold the left corner over to right corner...ONLY CREASE THE TOP HALF!

Unfold the last step, then fold the top corner down...again.

Fold the left edge of the paper up until it reaches the center. Make sure it also lines up to the right edge of the paper.

Fold the right edge up to the center. Make sure it lines up with the left edge.

Unfold the right side and bring the bottom corner back up to the top.

This step is not a necessity. From here on I darkened all the lines so that you could see them better because you will need some of them as reference.

Fold the top corner to the center. ONLY CREASE THE LEFT SIDE!

Unfold the last step.

Fold the left and right corners in to the line that touches the horizontal line.

Unfold the two corners.

Open up the right side of the paper to look like the picture.

Poke in the little triangle made from the earlier crease.

Close up the paper with the triangle inside it. Inside Reverse Fold done!

Make an inside reverse fold on the other side. (Sorry about the pictures, I couldn't get them to upload in the correct order)

Unfold the inside reverse folds.

Make a fold from the left side of the little triangle to the bottom middle of the paper.

Fold the tip of the big triangle to the center line. Make sure the fold is also on the edge of the little triangle.

Fold so that the left side of the triangle lines up with the crease from the last step.

Repeat these folds on the other side. Again, sorry for the backwards photos.

Re-fold the left most crease on the left side.

Fold the paper back so that the right side lines up with the left side.

Re-fold the next crease on the left hand side.

Fold the paper back again so the right side lines up with the left.

Re-fold the last existing crease for the left hand side.

Fold back one last time for left side. Make sure the right side lines up with the left side.

Repeat all the folds on the other side. Yet again, sorry for the backwards photos.

Fold the left and right sides behind the model.

Inside reverse fold the left side. Ugh...backwards pictures.

Inside reverse fold the right side. Someone needs to fix the pictures going in reverse order.

Fold the top corner down to the botton...for the final time

To do the next fold, you will need to fold on the 2 darkened lines.

Fold the darkened lines to make a popped up triangle. This also shapes the 2 bumps on the top of the heart.

Fold the little triangle to the left, as shown in the picture.

Fold the little triangle behind the fold, then shape the 2 humps on top of the heart.

Flip the heart over and extend the wings. Then, inside reverse fold all of the dips. If you need help refer to the backwards order pictures.

Make all the same folds on the opposite side. And, yup you guessed it, sorry for the backwards order photos.

You are almost done! Just 2 more things.

Fold the tip of the wing down and then bring it back up to give it the correct shape.

For the final time, repeat on the other side.

Your done! Good job. Send me a picture of your creation to my email (laxbam@gmail.com). Also, leave a comment regarding what you thought!

For a bonus inside reverse fold the wing bottoms again. This adds a little bit of flare to the wings. And if you want to...check out my youtube channel. Here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/user/toxicviking15
