Learn how to make my new origami heart (named “Nakashima Heart” after the suggestion of my followers on Facebook). At first glance It looks like the simple traditional origami heart, but this one has two clean sides with no loose flaps nor unwanted creases. I’m really happy with the result and the folding sequence.

If you find some step difficult, you can find more detailed instructions in the video tutorial.
Notice: the version in this diagrams is a little different from the video after step 35. Some of the steps to make the tabs/locking weren’t necessary, so I’ve simplified this part.
