Notes
Tips:
- To make your creases crisp, try running your fingernail across your folds to really flatten your crease and keep the paper from popping up.
- Don’t use paper that’s too thick (like a heavy card stock) as it’s more difficult to fold and won’t keep its shape as well as a thinner paper.
- If you are making these with kids, you can have them decorate the paper before or after folding—give your heart some eyes and a smile!
