10 Easy Steps to Make a Sticky Note Heart

In this section, we will provide you with a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a heart-shaped sticky note. These steps are simple and easy, and with a little bit of creativity, you can create a beautiful and colorful heart. Let’s get started!

1. Choose Your Sticky Notes

The first step in making a sticky note heart is to choose your sticky notes. You can use any color or design that you want, but it’s best to choose two contrasting colors that will make the heart stand out. You will need at least seven sticky notes of each color.

2. Make a Fan Fold

Take a single sticky note and make a fan fold. To do this, fold the sticky note in half vertically, then fold it in half again horizontally. Continue to fold the sticky note until you reach the end.

3. Make More Fan Folds

Repeat the previous step for each of your sticky notes. Make sure that you fold all of them in the same way, so that they will be uniform when you make your heart.

4. Create a Half Heart

Take a fan folded sticky note of one color and fold it in half. This will create a half heart shape. Make sure that you crease the fold well, so that the half heart shape will hold its form.

5. Repeat for the Other Half

Take a fan folded sticky note of the other color and fold it in half. This will also create a half heart shape. Make sure that the half heart shapes of both colors match up.

6. Stick the Two Half Hearts Together

Place one half heart shape on top of the other, matching up the two halves. The sticky parts should be facing each other. Press down firmly to make the two halves stick together.

7. Connect the Other Half

Take another fan folded sticky note of the same color as the first half heart, and connect it to the first half heart by sticking it to the top and bottom of the first half heart. Make sure that the fold of this sticky note is on the outside of the heart.

8. Add More Sticky Notes

Continue to add more fan folded sticky notes to the heart, alternating colors and connecting them to the previous sticky note with their folds on the outside of the heart.

9. Finish the Heart shape

Once you have added all the fan folded sticky notes, you should have a complete heart shape. Gently pull the sticky notes to make the heart shape more defined and to make sure they are connected firmly.

10. Stick the Heart to a Surface

Your heart-shaped sticky note is complete! Now you can stick it to a whiteboard, a wall, or anywhere else you want to show it off. Congratulations, you have successfully made a beautiful and colorful heart using simple sticky notes!
