#handarbeid — Public Fediverse posts

If you have some wrapping paper scraps after all the wrapping and unwrapping, why not make some pleated hearts out of them this year?

Basically you cut two fully-rounded rectangles out of two different patterned/coloured pieces of paper, fold both in half so there's a straight end on the fold and the two semi-circles are on top of eachother on the other end, then cut at least three equal-length lines straight up from the fold towards the rounded edge, but no deeper than to where the straight edge starts to turn into a semi circle.
Next you'll have to weave the 'flaps' you created through and around the ones of the opposite piece of paper.
As the linked instructions say:

To get yourself situated, place your two, folded pieces of paper at a right angle to form a heart shape. Then weave the paper, starting with the strips at the top, closest to the rounded side.
