There's always a reason to celebrate love: an anniversary, Valentine's day or just because! Today I'll show you how to create a simple but pretty decoration for your wall. Ready?

What You'll Need

14 Red paper squares (this were 3.5x3.5")

Double sided tape

Scissors

Place one of your squares in a table. Fold the corners to get an X like the picture number 4.

Take one of the corners to the intersection of your X and the opposite corner to the middle of the triangle you just folded.

Bring each side to the center line until you have two little triangles below.

Round Up

Turn your shape upside down and fold the two corners in the top and the two in each side. Now you have a more rounded shape and when you turn it around you can see your heart.

Repeat the steps with all your red squares to get 14 hearts.

Double Sided Tape

Cut squares of double sided tape and stick them behind all your hearts.

Create Your Shape

Stick them to the wall, one by one to form the shape you want. I made a heart but you can do a letter or a gradient design too.

There you have it, a simple way to decorate your wall for a special occasion.
