Instructions
Step 1: With the white side facing up, fold the bottom edge up slightly along the dotted line.
Step 2: Fold the paper in half horizontally.
Step 3: Diagonally fold the bottom left and right corners up to meet the top edge.
Step 4: Fold the top edges of both triangles down to the right hypotenuse.
Step 5: Crease them well, and unfold them.
Step 6: Fold the left and right corners to the left edges of the triangles, to meet the points where the creases you just made are located, creating two small triangles.
Step 7: Gently open the small triangle on the right, lift the two layers beneath it, and tuck them inside. Repeat the process on the left side.
Step 8: Slightly fold the four corners at the top toward the center to give the heart a rounder shape.
Blow into the bottom opening to puff it up while gently pressing down on the middle of the top edge.
Step 9: Flip the paper over, this is the final shape of the cute puffy heart.
And there you have it.
