Step 1: Fold in Half
With the colored side down, fold your square in half vertically, then unfold to leave a center crease.

Fold the top two corners down to the center crease, forming a triangle shape at the top.
Step 3: Fold the Bottom Point Up
Fold the bottom point up to meet the base of the triangle, creating a pentagon-like shape.
Step 4: Round the Top Lobes
Fold the top two corners inward and slightly downward to round them into the heart's two lobes.
Step 5: Tuck and Flip
Tuck the bottom point behind the lobes slightly to sharpen the heart's shape, then flip the paper over.

Flatten all the creases firmly. Your origami heart is ready to use as a card topper, bookmark, or gift tag.
