Helen Hiebert has a wonderful video on making woven paper hearts! (https://youtu.be/hWIBK3WF6pY) To begin, cut out 6″ squares–2 pieces per heart. I like using recycled papers but I also used scrapbook paper scraps. Find below a few of my experiments–I had better luck using a slightly stiffer, thicker paper for my heart and a thinner paper for my weaving strips.
This is the reverse side–the low contrast between papers is interesting. I drew on top of my heart with a pink marker. I adhered rows of washi tape to the back side of my heart. The heart is scrapbook paper woven with a piece of origami paper. I glued a heart of scrapbook paper to the back–using a glue stick.
