How to Make a Heart Out of a Gum Wrapper (with Pictures)

Fold the wrapper in half lengthwise and fold the right and left sides to the crease.
Bend the corners on each side down to create a V shape on either end. Fold the wrapper in half horizontally so the V points meet.
Fold the right and left sides up at the middle crease so the V points are vertical. Then fold down the points to create the heart.

Remove the gum from the wrapper and lay the wrapper flat. Place your gum wrapper on a solid surface and smooth out any creases and folds.
- Gum that comes in long, rectangular wrappers, such as Wrigley’s and Extra, works best for making hearts.
- Both paper and foil gum wrappers work great for this craft.

Turn the wrapper so it’s vertical and fold the long sides together. When you fold the long sides of the wrapper, the sides should meet together like you’re closing a book. Crease the fold to make a clear indent in the middle of the wrapper. Then unfold the wrapper.

Fold the long, right side to the middle crease you just made. Let the edge of the wrapper just touch the crease. Then, fold the long, left side of the wrapper to the middle crease so that the right and left sides are touching. Crease each fold. Advertisement

Fold the top, right corner down so the point touches the middle crease. The folded corner should make a right angle where the side and point meet the middle crease. Fold down the top left corner in the same way so that the folded corners touch at the crease. Crease the folds.
- The top end should now be folded into a pointed V shape.

Fold the bottom, right corner down so the point meets the middle crease. Then, fold down the bottom left corner to the middle crease. Crease the folds. Advertisement

Turn the wrapper so that the V points are horizontal and fold it in half. When you fold the wrapper in half horizontally, the top and bottom V points should meet. Crease the fold to make a clear indent in the middle of the wrapper.

To round out the heart, flip it over and fold the pointy corners down. Fold down the right point so that it touches the horizontal line created by the previous corner folds. Then, fold down the left point.
- Your gum wrapper heart is finished!

Question How do I make the curves? Fold the two points down so that the crease is flat. Then the heart won’t be so pointy.

What are 5 gum wrappers made of?

Elevated Enviro Ratings: Wrigley’s 5 Gum ‘ In this video we review the product Wrigley’s 5 Gum and give it an Elevated Enviro Rating. We rate products on their sustainability specifically their waste diversion ability; reduce, reuse, recycle and consumer use.

This is how 5 Gum stacked up.
The product is wrapped in a plastic shrink wrap material.
This material is typically made of a low quality plastic and can not be recycled.
If it was made of a higher quality plastic it would still be difficult to recycle due to its small size.
The small size lends it to being missed in the sorting process at recycling facilities.

The case of the product is made of a paper/cardboard material and is, luckily, 100 percent recyclable. There is a large flap that extends the back of the product. This flap seems excessive and could be reduced in size. The largest set back with this product is the foil wrapper the actual gum is wrapped in.

The wrapper is foil on the front and paper inside.
This combination of foil and paper render this material non-recyclable.
The reason is that to recycle the gum wrap you would have to separate the foil and paper.
This is very difficult and can’t be done in most cases.
As a result this product has to be landfilled.

The actual gum itself is a food product and can be composted if expired or after use. The shrink wrap, the excess packaging and the foil contribute to giving this a product a Elevated Enviro Rating of 1.8 out of 5, Using a sticker to seal the product or identifying the plastic quality, reducing the flap size and using a paper wrapper would bring this product to a higher score.
