An origami heart with a wing is a simple and sweet way of reminding someone that you love her.

1
Fold an origami square in half lengthwise with the colored side facing out. Fold the rectangle in half so it makes a small square.
-
2
Hold the square with the folds on the left side and the bottom. Fold the upper-left corner in to make a trapezoid with the left side at an angle and the right side perpendicular.

3
Leave the left corner folded, but unfold the right side of the trapezoid to the fold. Turn the shape so that the fold faces you. Fold the top left corner down to the middle.
-
4
Bring in both bottom corners along matching folds and both top corners along identical folds. The wing is directly in the middle.
-
5
Round the edges of the heart by folding in the outside corners. Turn over the shape.
