The Origami Forum

I was wondering if anyone had instructions for a heart made out of folded ribbon? I was only taught how to fold the separate pieces to make it... I was never taught how to put it together. I really want to finish making this so if anyone could help me i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Maybe if you can show us the finished pieces someone can imagine what you are talking about.

i thought i should've done that... so i guess here are thumbnails. the originals are soo blury! there are supposed to be 14 of these (each made from 4 pieces of ribbon)



i really hope that will help

That looks like the Swedish Star. Here's a good page on this model:

Some of the links listed on this page also have photo instructions, which might come in useful when doing the three dimensional steps.

hmmm.. i know how to make the star part... but does anyone know how to put 14 of these together to make a 3-D heart shape?

I quote a person from another topic:

I would guess that you should be able to find these in the usual large craft stores like Michael's, which have stores in Canada. South of the border, there's AC Moore (http://www.acmoore.com) and Jo-ann (http://www.jo-ann.com); the latter allows online ordering.

The heart should be looking like this, I think

Silent, can you show me how to do the parts. I used to know how to the the parts like you forgotten
