This elegant and creative mini envelope is not only only an eye-catcher, but also offers a secret compartment for your favorite words. In this step-by-step guide, I'll show you how to easily fold a charming origami heart without any gluing or cutting. Perfect as an addition to gifts or simply as a loving gift in between!

1. Step: Create the basics

If your Paper has two differently colored sides, place the side that will later become the heart on the bottom. Fold the Paper diagonally to create a guide line and repeat this for the other diagonal.

2. Step: Prepare the Paper

Fold each tip of the sheet towards the center. Unfold everything again and turn the Paper over.

3. Step: Make the first folds

Take two opposite lace and fold them inwards up to the guide line.

4. Step: Create the basic shape

Fold the triangle inwards on one side and repeat this on the other side. Now you can write a message directly on the Paper !

5. Step: Shape the envelope

Fold the envelope towards the middle line and make sure that everything fits well.

6. Step: Refining the fold

Place the lace on the inside tip of the opposite side (point A to C and point D to B). This creates a small square.

7. Step: Detailed folding

Fold the corners of the new square outwards until they reach the auxiliary line. A small triangle is created. Repeat this for the other side.

8. Step: Final details

Fold the top lace of each triangle upwards and press them flat.

9. - Step 11: Finishing the heart shape

Fold the new triangles in the middle and press them down firmly. Make sure that the writing inside the envelope is facing in the right direction before you complete the heart.

12. Step: Complete the final folds

Finally, fold the top inside in slightly and press the envelope flat. Your origami heart envelope is finished!
