Geometric Paper Heart DIY

January 19, 2016 By: Melanie

Easy paper geometric heart. Goldscrapbook paper gives it the gold foil look.

Gold, black, and white is a perfect combo for basically every holiday!  Do you agree?  Halloween (see HERE), Christmas (see HERE), New Year’s Eve (see HERE), even Easter (see HERE.)  I’m seeing it for St. Patrick’s day too! I love it!  Today, we’re going for that color scheme for Valentine’s Day with a simple geometric paper heart DIY.  Here’s all you need:

Scrapbook paper

A paper cutter.

Double sided tape.

As you can see, we used 2 pieces of scrapbook paper.  You could use as many different papers as you want, just depends on the colors, patterns and overall look you’re going for!  Gold scrapbook paper can be used to get the gold foil look

For a 2 color heart like ours, you only need 10 triangles of each color; which means you’ll cut 5 squares.

Our heart fits just right on an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper.  To make a heart the same size, cut the paper into 2 inch strips.  (You’ll only need one strip of each color if your paper is 12 x 12.) Geometric paper heart by cutting gold scrapbook paper

Next, cut the strips into 2 inch squares.  And then cut the squares diagonally into triangles.Geometric paper heart by cutting gold scrapbook paper
