  Step 1

  1 – Flatten the wrapper (I use a small ruler).

  2 – Fold it in half widthwise.

  3 – Fold it over again in a book fold.

  4 – Make sure the top and left-hand edges are the folded ones.

  5 – Draw the heart outline as shown, making sure both folded edges are included.

  6 – Cut out the heart shape (shown in dark grey) and carefully flatten with the ruler or heavy book.

  Step 2

  A – Flatten the wrapper like the previous kirigami hearts.

  B – Fold widthwise.

  C – Now fold lengthwise to give you a narrow strip.

  D – Now draw the heart as shown, making sure the curve of the heart includes the side fold as well as the open edges.

  E – Cut along the lines, unfold and carefully flatten.

  Step 3

  All I did for these is simply fold the wrappers in half and cut out two smaller individual hearts.

  Once they are all done, take a ribbon or string, secure them with a dab of glue and let them dry completely.

  Step 4

  It’s done! I love how delicate and pretty it turned out, especially with the shimmer when the sunlight hits it.
