  Step 1

  Start out with a rectangular piece of paper. I just took an 8.5x11" sheet of printer paper and quartered it.

• 

  Step 2

  We're going to call the bottom part of this the 'square' and the other part the 'rectangle' of this piece of paper.
  Diagonally fold the square

• 

  Step 3

  And then the other way

• 

  Step 4

  For some reason, blogspot rotates some of my photos. If you have any idea how to fix this, please tell me!
  Anyway...
  Flip your paper over.

• 

  Step 5

  Fold the square in half.

• 

  Step 6

  And unfold

• 

  Step 7

  Flip it over.

• 

  Step 8

  Start squeezing the edges of the fold you just made in toward the center...

• 

  Step 9

  ...Until you get this....

• 

  Step 10

  ...and then squish it down flat.

• 

  Step 11

  Fold the rectangle in half down to the square

• 

  Step 12

  Fold the upper triangle down to the center.

• 

  Step 13

  And the other one.

• 

  Step 14

  Flip it over.

• 

  Step 15

  Fold the entire paper in half...

• 

  Step 16

  ...so you get a center line!

• 

  Step 17

  Now fold the edge in to that handy dandy center line.

• 

  Step 18

  And the other one.

• 

  Step 19

  Now fold only the upper triangle down.

• 

  Step 20

  Because the lower triangle tabs will be folded down at an angle. These will be the two round shapes at the top of the heart.

• 

  Step 21

  Tuck them into the big triangle.

• 

  Step 22

  Fold the bottom corners up now...

• 

  Step 23

  And stick them into the slot too.

• 

  Step 24

  You're done! This is what the back should look like.

• 

  Step 25

  And the front

• 

  Step 26

  You can write a little message in them too. Just unfold it like this...

• 

  Step 27

  ...Write your message on the inside...

• 

  Step 28

  ...And re-fold it. Make sure you write instructions for anyone who doesn't know how these are folded!
