I chose 15cmx15cm. If you are using color paper, make sure you take a
square paper. Its simple, just fold two diagonally opposite sides and make sure a clean triangle is formed, cut the remaining.

Fold the other side diagonally as well to get a “X”.

Fold on the horizontal line.

On the right side, push from the top side diagonally till the marked end (halfway)

This is how it will look like now from top. Push the edge completely inside to form a right angled triangle.

Do the same on the other side.

Open up and fold the curved edge along the green line to the top.

This is the tricky part, take the bottom edge and fold & move, by
popping the heart, and moving towards the top so that a small triangle is formed on the top as shown in the picture.

Now bend this triangle on top and join the top wings, folding in between.

Pinch the middle portion from outside, after folding.
