Origami Love Knot Instructions

A love knot is one of the most classic shapes in origami. It was used for hundreds of years to send secret notes between two lovers. The fold would be done and then an ink brush dragged across the surface. If anybody else tried to intercept the note, read it and refold it, it would be immediately obvious because the folds would never line up properly.

Use this love knot for your own secret messages of love and friendship!

I have put each step onto its own page and included a photo of each step, to help you really understand what is going on. This is in three dimensions, remember :)
