How to fold a heart box
Some people make paper boxes to use as trash bins, right? I think a heart-shaped box like this would be super cute! In this idea, you start by creasing the paper to make a 4-by-4 grid of 16 squares.
Once you’ve made the creases, place the origami with the white side up, fold the left corner toward the center, and make a crease.
Then turn the paper over so the colored side is up, and, while folding the bottom and left edges inward along the creases, fold the left corner into a square shape.
This folded section will form the heart.
From here, you’ll add more creases to shape it into a box, so take it step by step and proceed carefully.
A cute box with mini drawers
Here’s an idea for a drawer made by combining two square boxes.
One of the boxes has a handle, so it scores top marks for both design and usability! Fold two opposite corners of the origami to the center, then fold again into thirds to make creases.
After that, fold the remaining corners inward to form the box shape.
To make the box with a handle, fold one of the corners that would normally be folded to the center back outward.
Make several and combine them to create a chest of drawers.
Love Cats Pocket
If you’ve been thinking, “I wish there were a simple heart-shaped origami to hold Valentine’s chocolates…,” this is the one for you.
First, place the origami paper front side up with one edge facing you.
Fold it in half, then fold the left and right edges to meet at the center.
Fold the two corners on the closed side up toward the center and open them back up.
Use the creases to make mountain and valley folds to set the lines.
Open it up and fold in sequence so it forms a heart shape.
Next, fold the white section down.
The bottom edge will become the ears, so fold diagonally with that in mind.
Do the same on both sides.
Fold the top up and the cat is complete! If the chocolate is thin, you can tuck it into the pocket, so this is recommended.
Hexagonal box accessory case
Fold a square sheet of origami to make a rectangle in your preferred size, then use a glue flap to form it into a tube.
Flatten the tube so it’s halved, then fold it into thirds.
After creasing firmly, return it to a tube and it will form a hexagon.
Make cuts along the creases, glue to form the base, and create a lid using the same steps.
Reinforce the base and lid by layering additional origami paper, then decorate with beads to finish.
You can make the tube and lid from the same paper, or use different colors for a cute look.
For kids! Cute heart origami
Place the origami paper face up with an edge closest to you.
Fold it in half into a square twice to make crease lines, then fold the front edge up to the center twice to make creases.
Fold the front edge up to meet the front crease line, then rotate the paper and do the same on the opposite side.
Flip it over and fold both edges to the center line.
Flip it over so the longer side is closest to you, fold the front edge to the center to make a crease, then pull the center area and collapse it.
On the opposite edge, align with the topmost line to make a crease.
Fold along the bottommost crease to make another crease, then open both corners and flatten them.
Flip it over, apply glue on the triangular parts, refold, and shape it into a heart to finish!
A book-shaped accessory case
Even masking tape fits inside! It’s a cute book-shaped box.
First, turn the origami paper over with a corner facing you.
Fold it into a triangle twice, then open it and fold the corners to meet the center.
After folding all four sides up so their edges align with the central crease, open it and apply glue in the middle.
Fold the corners inward along the lines to form the shape of a box.
Next, let’s make the cover.
Turn the origami paper over with an edge facing you.
Fold it in half, open it, and fold the edges to meet the center crease.
Mark a point 6 cm from the edge, make a slit there, and open it.
Fold along the lines, then glue the box you made first to the center, and you’re done!
A cat-shaped box
If you want to add a creative touch to a small container, how about making it cat-shaped? First, fold all the corners of the origami paper toward the center, then flip the paper over.
Fold two opposite corners toward the center, then fold once more to make a rolled fold.
Fold the remaining two corners inward to form a box shape, and you’re done.
When folding, leave one outer flap unfolded to create cat ears, finishing it as a cat-shaped box.
Instead of making the box square, aim for a round shape to make it look even more cat-like.
3D! Star-shaped accessory case
You can flatten and store it when not in use! It’s a star-shaped trinket box.
Fold the origami in half, then in half again to make a square.
After creasing, open it back to the half-folded state, align both side edges to the center line to crease, then unfold.
Fold the two bottom corners up to the outer crease, then fold again so the new creases align with the center line.
In this state, trim off the unnecessary top portion, and the origami becomes a hexagon.
Fold the edges of the hexagon inward, crease the center of the origami into a hexagon, then keep adding creases as you collapse it into a smaller hexagon.
Finally, fold the center area outward to make the opening of the container, press the sides inward to form a star shape, and you’re done!
How to fold a long, slender heart
A long, slender heart you can enjoy making with kids.
Fold 5 times to form the heart shape, then fold 4 more times to round it out.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle.
Flip the triangle upside down, reposition the paper, and fold the left and right edges to meet the center crease.
Next, turn the paper over and fold the protruding tip into a small triangle.
After that, tuck in the top and the left and right corners slightly to finish! If you fold it 3 more times, you can turn it into a regular rounded heart, so shape it into the style you like.
How to fold a winged heart
A simple heart with wings design boosts the cuteness and playfulness in no time! First, fold the paper in half twice to make creases.
Fold the near edge up to the center.
Flip it over, fold the left and right edges to the center, then fold the near edge like making a boat, pressing in fine folds to set the lines.
Open it and continue folding in an accordion style.
Next, fold both bottom corners up into triangles.
Shape the corners into a heart, and your winged heart is complete! By changing the angle and size of the wings, the look changes, so you can enjoy creating your own original design.
