Learn how to fold a beautiful heart with wings by following our easy, step-by-step instructions and helpful images.

As you can see, the origami heart with wings is a wonderful piece of work. It’s really neat how the wings are shaped like that and are able to protrude out to the sides the way they do. The origami heart with wings is sure to amaze kids and adults alike. It also makes a wonderful “post-it” note that is certain to brighten up someone’s day, but you’ll have to add your own adhesive.

There are a couple of folds that require some maneuvering to accomplish, but they’re by no means intricate or difficult. The pictures I took do an outstanding job of explaining the steps, so there should be minimal complications.
