Origami: Winged Heart for valentine's day

The Winged Heart by Francis Ow who has given his kind permission I recommend two-color origami paper (10 cm or larger) The difficulty is low intermediate but with a little patience also a beginner can fold this I use a big sheet to show but as a smaller sheet is also ok fold in the middle the same in the other direction corner to corner and edge to edge fold bottom edge to the center line, so that the sheet is divided into quarters On the other side, the same thing Open reverse one of the outer folds so that a quater is red fold along the old crease from mountainfold make a valleyfold turn model Fold the lower edge pointed From the bottom up there the point is at the intersection of two fold lines the other side also with a 45 ° angle fold smoothing turn model again the outer sides fold inwards the edge to the center line also on the other side not too far below fold the model looks like this now Now the hard part pull over the top layer fold along this line dragging the paper with such a large piece of it is a little harder smaller paper is easier push in the fold Reverse the two folds now from mountainfolds to valleyfolds similar as before smooth again Here make a new fold in the top fold a new crease by flatening, the others were only reversed and the same thing on the right reverse the fold all aligned , and above the new fold again the movement to reproduce fold and unfold small spikes again 45 ° a new fold between these two points, over there also take the paper and place the edges up the same step as before open on both sides press that point uowards flatten this fold is turned make the spikes precise the other side of the same way once more to see on the back you can already see the heart still there is something missing turn fold little spikes again the known 45 ° fold spikes back you can adjust the folds as you like with more creases, the heart becomes rounder to keep it easy - I make only 3 folds per side the heart is ready, now to the wings we do a Zik-Zak fold with the wings (like a Achordion) eg either 4 or 8 folds (the more the better) always back and forth, edge to edge always calm and patient and done and that could even be the final model (perhaps add tape) good, especially with small paper now turn all the crease around to make a total of 8 set to exactly the edges together Here we see a mountain fold put together the layers this makes it easier and more accurate and repeat with the other folds reverse the crease and fold edge on edge and thus arises a fold in the middle of the edges one more time this edge to the next edge and make a crease fold also the last on in half push the wings together bend and shape and that's the Winged Heart! I hope it is in time for Valentine's Day a lot of fun, until next time
