Heart Folded Note with Seal

Origami-style heart shaped note can be cut from 
letter or 12x12, lighter weight printed paper 
for easy folding. 
Print and cut the heart sticker 
on self-adhesive paper (or from colored card stock
 to affix with reg. adhesive) as backside center seal. 
Then let the youngsters in your life write, fold and seal 
special notes to someone important. 
Great teacher appreciation craft, as well as for 
Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, birthday, get well, and more. 
Heart measures approx. 5.375” wide x 4.5” tall when folded. 
Coordinates well with ‘Mother’ word cut from 
“Tag Mother” Scalloped Oval” as a front decoration.

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A heart card shape with perforations
B heart seal or sticker
C optional "Mother" word cut from
separate tag design

2. Working from card shape front,
fold the heart card shape by bending back
as "mountain" folds on ALL perforation lines.
(NOTE: this card shape is shown from
BACKSIDE for fold visibility, therefore folds will 
appear in image as "valley" folds.)
The * symbol indicates lines which are folded
as "mountain" first, then marked segments are
redirected to be folded as "valley".
3. As described in step 2, fold the vertical folds as "mountain"
folds first, then . . .
. . . invert and re-direct the top and bottom segments
back to become "valley" folds; crease all folds.
This folding assists card shape to become a heart.
4. Fold the "dog ear"  corners down and crease.
5. With all perforation folds prepared,
fold the half heart back panels inward to meet
at center . . .
. . . taking care that dog ear folds remain tucked under.
6. Unfold, allow sender to write message inside
(on backside of paper), then re-fold,
position and attach sticker or seal across center edges.
If desired, position and affix a word cut out
on front to help identify the recipient.
