    • This is what it looks like after being tucked in.
    • Now just fold the top down a bit. This will make the curve of the heart.
    • Turn it over and there you have it!
    • Put a pin on the back and wear it for Valentine's Day.

    I have 2 children both of which go to university. I spend most of my time crafting. I like to make origami, 3D paper projects, greeting cards, and lots more. I mostly work with my Silhouette Cameo, Curio, and Mint. Happy Crafting!
