Cute handmade card in under 5 mins

I love making this card for Birthdays as it is SO quick and easy but at the same time super cute. The origami heart is also good for using as tags on presents or as a romantic little post-it note (okay, i'll stop now...)

What you will need:

  • 1 Blank card + envelope
  • 1 Square of thin coloured paper (Origami paper works best)
  • Glue (Pritt-stick, all purpose, or even double sided tape)
  • Scissors




Step one: Fold your paper square in half


Step two: cut the paper into two triangles, take one of the triangle and fold the corners into the top point to create a square


Step three: flip your square over and fold the flap back to meet the point


Step four: fold both top parts down (it's beginning to look like a heart now!)


Step five: Now neaten it up by making small folds at the top and side


Step six: Add glue/tape and stick onto the card



Step seven: Stand back and admire :)


So now you've mastered the basics you can play around with sizes and colours or keep it classic xx
