| How to Make a Symmetrical Paper Heart Feb 10th 2013, 04:00 Making a perfectly symmetrical heart shape is simple with these instructions. This perfect heart shape can be used for making cards, posters, wall images and other similar paper projects. - Fold a piece of paper in half. It can be a rectangle or square shaped piece of paper, both will work.
- Use a pencil to draw the outline of half of a heart. When drawing, always start from the paper crease, having both the top and bottom of the heart coming from the crease.
- The outline you draw will determine the final heart shape, so now is the time to decide the aesthetic fate of your paper heart.
- Cut along the penciled outline, starting from the creased end. If you don't want the pencil on the finished heart, cut just inside the pencil mark (or carefully erase it later).
- Separate the pieces you just cut.
- Unfold the paper. You should have a symmetrical heart.
- Make something with it. It can be stuck on a card or poster, use as a wall cut or window cut-out, turned into a card, etc.
- You can save the outer piece and use it as a heart-shaped frame.
- If you don't want a crease in the middle of your finished heart, cut the heart this way from scrap paper and use the scrap paper heart as a template to cut the heart on nicer paper.
