How to weave a Christmas heart

Every template on Juleflet.dk prints at 100% size on A4. You need paper in two colours and a pair of scissors.

  1. Step 1:Print the template at 100% size on A4

  2. Step 2:Fold a sheet of coloured paper in half and place the template with the dashed line along the fold

  3. Step 3:Cut along the solid outer lines – through both layers

  4. Step 4:Cut the strips up from the fold along the curved lines

  5. Step 5:Turn the paper so the colour faces out and weave the two halves together – alternating over and under

Tips

  • Use paper in two colours, 80–120 gsm. Glossy paper is the classic choice, but ordinary printer paper works fine.
  • Always print at 100% size. For a bigger heart, scale both templates by the same amount.
  • Glue on a strip of paper as a handle once the heart is woven.
