★ Description

This is my version of Papercraft Heart. It was done a long time ago for a lady, but just recently decided to share it on my Etsy shop. It is made using a technique called Decimation, so that's how I call it - Decimated Heart. I could easily imagine it decorating a wall or as a lamp shade. Actually, I could provide the SVG or DXF files for someone that wants to cut it with a laser or metal sheet. Just send me a message and I'll send it over. Pretty easy model so an hour should be enough to finish it.

★ Dimensions

The models is:

171 x 55 x 200 cm

which equals

6.8 x 2.2 x 7.9"

There are 5 pieces all together laid out on 3 sheets of Letter or A4 paper.

You could print them out of 120 - 130 gsm cardstock or to make it nice and sturdy or in other words, something that is around one and half times heavier than a regular printer paper.

★ Quick Tips:

- If you want the fold lines and the edge ID's to end up inside of the model and not be visible, just switch the directions of valley and mountain folds (opposite of what is written in the manual).

- Always pre-score the fold lines. That makes them easier to fold and the creases are better looking. Generally they improve a lot the final look of the model.

- If you are using glue - it is better to use a slow setting one. That way you would have enough time to adjust the pieces. It is a good idea to glue one tab at a time. I use a toothpick to spread the glue on the tap.

These days I've started to use think double sided tape and I could say the results are much better and it is a lot easier to work with it than glue.

- Be patient. It usually takes longer than you've expected but seeing the finished model is very fulfilling.

The pattern was very easy to do and I liked that it had a backing built into the pattern. Nice, easy design and looks sharp.
