![]() Fold the top point of the diamond down to the bottom point and crease - see Figure 11 for the result. Finally, flip the model over from top to bottom Be sure your result looks like Figure 10. See Figure 9 for what the model will look like after this step. Gently lift and bring it straight down so that what was the top edge now lies along the center vertical crease, ending at the bottom point. Note that there are two “flaps”, one in each of the upper left and right corners. Now do the exact same thing on the left side of the model, resulting in Diagram 8. The result should look like Diagram 7 below. Flatten everything out and crease all over. Then swivel point B over to meet point F as you do so the bottom half of the opened side will come up and you can lay point D down on top of B (which is now on top of F). It is important as a first step here that you reverse the folds that run from the center to point B and from the center to point A (that is, change the valley fold to a mountain fold and the mountain fold to a valley fold). Note that I have labeled some points on the diagram, and that valley folds are marked by dashed lines and the mountain folds are marked by dashed & dotted lines. Take a deep breath, it’s not difficult if you pay attention to detail. Now we are going to focus on the right side first: the result of the next step is shown in Diagram 6. Crease each one well, as shown in Diagram 5. As indicated in Diagram 4, next take each of the top layers of the bottom points and fold them up to meet the top point. ![]() Your result should look like the diamond in Diagram 4. As shown in Diagram 3, take each of the upper corners, fold them down to the bottom point and crease. The result should look like Diagram 2 below. Diagram 1 below shows the folded sheet with bottom edges down, and indicates our next move: the dashed lines indicate where we fold next - bring each bottom corner up to the center of the top edge, fold and crease well. Fold the sheet in half from the top to the bottom and give it a good crease be sure that the open (not folded) edge is on the bottom, nearest you. Start with your square sheet of paper white (or un-printed, or that you don’t want to show when we’re finished) side up. A 6″ square works great, I haven’t tried bigger … I like 4″ as well but if you go too much smaller the folds get kind of thick toward the end. There are a couple of slightly tricky steps but I’ve tried to make my instructions and diagrams easy to understand….Īll you need is a square sheet of paper easiest to follow the directions if it is printed on one side and white on the other. I know, this is long overdue and late for Valentine planning - my apologies! But if you’re a last-minute type like I am you may enjoy this cute, clever and relatively easy stand-up heart.
