Tips and suggestions for making this easy origami heart

• In the video the heart is demonstrated using thin Kami paper, known in the U.S. as “origami paper”.
• Other papers –gift-wrapping or paper from old magazines, are also suitable.
• The heart is made with a rectangular piece of paper in the proportion of 2:7
• From a square piece of paper 6 x 6 inches (15 x 15 cm)  four hearts can be made. The video shows how to easily fold and cut the pieces of the right proportion.
• The finished heart shows only one side of the paper. It isn’t necessary to use paper with a different color on each side.
• On the back, the heart features a pocket, making it perfect to use as a bookmark. 
• Thread a few origami hearts to make a necklace or a festive garland.
