As romantic as a rose, this origami heart is unique because it has a blooming flower in the middle of the heart, which makes it even more beautiful and meaningful.

This origami blossom heart is made with rectangle paper. The finished product will have color on both sides. We demonstrated this tutorial on educational paper with one side red and the other white, and we folded a white blossom flower on the red paper heart. If you start with the red side facing up, a red blossom flower will appear on a white origami heart.

Choose paper with two colors on two sides, such as red and black, for a more colorful version. Alternatively, you can use paper with one side patterned to make this origami blossom heart more unique.

Firstly, look at the top square and make a water bomb base. Use both hands to press the two center points on the right and left edges. Then push it down to make the center points of the three edges to meet the center point of the bottom edge.
