- Valley fold paper from corner to corner, making a triangle.

 |
- Valley fold the triangle from corner to corner, making a smaller
triangle.
|
 |
- Unfold everything -- you'll have a square of paper with an X
crease.
|
 |
- Valley fold the bottom edge up to the top.
|
 |
- Valley fold the left edge over to the right.
|
 |
- Unfold everything -- you'll have a square of paper with an astrix crease.
To make this a bit easier, flip your paper over and refold
everything so your folds crease both ways.

(I know, we've done this before *grin*)

|
 |
- Repeat the process on the other side
|
 |
|
 |
- When you look at it from the front it looks like a diamond with a
crease in the center. The opening should be at the top of the
project.

- Valley fold the top layer of paper down.

|
 |
- Valley fold the top layer of paper down.
|
|
- Valley fold the two points at an angle so they form little
triangles who's edges match the edge of the previous fold
|
 |
- Valley fold the tips of the triangle down.
|
 |
- Valley fold the side points of the heart inward.
|
 |
- Optional: apply a bit of glue or tape to the last 4 folds
(the 2 tips and 2 points) -- strictly speaking, this isn't allowed
in origami, but it will make your project sturdy enough to slip
candy into your pocket.
|
 |
- Flip your heart over and pull open the little pocket in the front
if you would like to slip in a note, stick of gum or small candy!
