Heart Message Card Made with Origami

This is a heart-shaped message card made from origami that’s sure to delight as a gift! Instead of having a heart drawn or decorated on the card, the card itself is shaped like a heart.
When you open the heart, the message appears! The folding method is simple with no difficult steps, but if the paper is small, the inside reverse fold part can be a bit tricky.
Using tweezers or making it with slightly larger origami paper might be a good idea!
In conclusion
These were recommended craft ideas for Valentine’s Day.
It’s striking how many of the projects feature heart shapes as the main motif.
There are, of course, gift ideas, but also practical crafts, and they’re all so cute that you might want to use them yourself.
The simpler ideas are great to enjoy together with young children or grandchildren.
