How to make a symmetrical paper heart 
Fold a piece of paper in half. 
It can be a rectangle or square-shaped piece of paper-either will work. For a classic, festive heart, use red, pink, or purple construction paper.

OPTIONS:
- Draw a circle on the paper, then fold it in half, forming a rectangle inside. This will become the body, with a 4-- pointed star inside each circle.
- For a more realistic heart, use orange, yellow, black, blue, and gold construction paper. Try to keep everything precise so that it lays as a perfect square.
- If you want a big heart, then use a big paper. Draw the outline of half of a heart.
- For a simple, holiday-specific heart, use white construction paper or silver construction paper. Folds are best if you want a simple replica of a heart, like a flower.
