Fan Hearts - Tutorial

These hearts are super simple to make and they look really cute hanging around the house. I did a lazy version using tape to close them because I couldn't find my hole punch.

All you need is paper (I used a scrapbook paper that was red on one side and white on the other because we were fresh out of red or pink construction paper - the white one in the picture is made from normal white printer paper), scissors, string and tape (or a hole punch - you can also use glue if you are a patient person).

Start by rounding the edges of your paper. It's best to use a rectangular piece of paper so that you end up with a capsule shape.

Accordion fold the paper along the longest side. The side of your fold will depend on the size of your paper. I was using a paper that was about 4 x 6, so my folds are about a half inch deep.

Once you have it folded into a fan, fold it in the center.

Here's where you can vary how you finish it. I used tape and taped the two ends together with a string. I would preferred to have used a hole punch and tied the string on. You can also glue it closed.

And that's it! Make lots of them and hang them in your window.
