Skill Level
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ (Very Easy)
Materials Needed
Standard square paper napkins.
Napkin Type: Use sturdy yet foldable paper napkins.
A medium-weight napkin (around 60-80 GSM) works best for this project, as it holds folds well but is still easy to handle. Thin napkins may lose their shape, while thicker ones may be harder to crease neatly.
You can use small, medium, or large square paper napkins to make different heart sizes.
Instructions
Step 1: Open out your napkin.
Typically, napkins come folded into quarters, so when you open out your napkin it should fold out into a larger square with 2 creases which divide the napkin into 4 smaller squares.
Start with the outside color (such as the colored side or patterned side) of the napkin facing down.
Step 2: Fold the bottom edge up to meet the top edge.
Step 3: Fold the top edge down to meet the bottom edge.
Step 4: Fold the napkin in half from left to right.
Step 5: Unfold previous step.
Step 6: Fold the left edge up so that the bottom left edge meets the middle crease as shown.
Step 7: Repeat previous step for the right edge.
