When I was a wee pre-teen, I used to love making origamis. About half the girls in my class were Asian so they always came up with a new paper-folding technique that dazzled me (and the rest of the girls in class, of course). I still remember a couple, so I've decided to show you how to make my favourite one: the heart origami! All you need is an A4 and a flat surface.
PS. I've recently been told that this isn't an official origami, as it uses an A4 instead of a square paper. Still cute, though!
Here we go:
1- Take an A4 and fold one tip to the other side, making a triangle.
2- Unfold it and do the same to the other side.
3- Turn the paper over and fold it straight, in the middle of the X formed by the previous folds.
4- Turn the paper over again and press the middle of the X.
5- Fold the top of the paper down, keeping the sides folded in. (You'll end up with a wee house-looking paper!)
6- Take a side of the "roof of the house" and fold it up.
7- Do the same to the other one, making a diamond-shape.
9- Again, do the same on the other side.
10- Turn the whole thing over and fold the bottom up.
11- Take the top part (triangle) and fold it down, leaving the flaps from the other side still up.
12- Now this is a bit tricky: Take a bottom corner and fold it into the pocket, as shown.
13- Same on the other side!
14- Fold the top flap diagonally, making a triangle on top and tuck in the tip.
15- There you have it!
