On this Valentine’s Day 2023, you can skip expensive gifts to make paper hearts that you can decorate in three different ways. Get to know them!
Three paper hearts to give this Valentine’s Day

These 3D paper hearts are multipurpose and can be of different sizes, to make them you need the following materials:
- heart template
- Cardboard
- pencil or pen
- Scissors
- Adhesive tape and hot glue
Love letters to send on Valentine’s Day
First, you must use the template and the pencil to trace the shape of the heart on the cardboard and you will cut the figure. Then you cut a line from the middle of the top of the heart to just above the center. You make flaps with each side of the opening, which you have to glue together to create that 3D effect.
origami heart card
Origami is an ancient Asian art in which you fold paper to create shapes. For these paper heart cards, you need a sheet of cardstock of any size, as long as it is square.
- Fold the paper in half on both sides and you will take one of the ends to bring it to the center.
- You turn the sheet over and grab the corners of the fold to bring them to the center line.
- At the back, bring the remaining tip to the other side of the paper.
- Flip and open the flaps so they are in the shape of a triangle, with the top corners folded under and the point just slightly inward.
- Fold both sides to the center and all that remains is to place the corners towards the center of the heart.
