Heart origami
It’s a three-dimensional heart-shaped bag with handles; the small size made from origami is quite cute.
A key point is to carefully shape it into a heart while paying close attention to how the layers of paper overlap so that an inner space is formed.
Finally, to keep the heart shape from collapsing when used, glue the parts together firmly for a sturdy finish.
Since the back side’s color will also be visible, it’s recommended to use double-sided colored origami to show a contrast between the front and back.
Winged heart
You can make an adorable winged heart using just one sheet of origami paper! It looks stylish as a room decoration, so why not give it a try? The basic folds are fairly standard, so there aren’t many difficult steps, but the final part—accordion-folding the paper to create the wings—might be a bit tricky.
The key is to make crisp creases as you fold.
It’s such a cute motif that once you get the hang of it, you’ll definitely get hooked! It would also be lovely to include this in an origami activity at a day service and exchange them as gifts.
