Step 3. Fold the paper up to the top of the semi-circle. Make two pleats and then fold the remaining crease down. Tuck the back flaps and use double stick tape to secure if you’d like.
These origami heart pockets are super easy to make. My 7 year old daughter made a bunch for her friends! The video explains the steps better than the photos so we highly recommend watching it!
