3D origami hearts
Yesterday's post got me in the mood for origami, so I tried out the instructions in Samuel Tsang's video on how to make 3D paper hearts. The lighting isn't great, but I figured out the steps, thanks to Samuel's pen. The folds aren't difficult; it's just hard to see them.
Each heart is folded from one square of paper. The openings in the sides make it easy to string them into a garland. Just think— by Valentine's Day, you could fold hundreds. Thousands. You could have a heart garland long enough to wrap around your house a few times.
If you need more Valentine ideas, try one of these other DIY projects.

Mum
Just to clarify, I myself do not have time to make thousands. Maybe you should. Ha.
You're saying I have nothing to do?!
Well, if you get tired of sewing, then. I can't wait to see what you're making, BTW!
I can't wait to show you! I think you'll like it! It's a good project to work on during our 'blizzard warning' for tomorrow (snow with winds 50-60 mph - yikes!). Provided the power stays on, that is. If it goes out, I may have to resort to folding hearts.
Always good to have a backup plan.
Even if I have no origami paper.
I'm going to set the boys on this task tomorrow. They're big into origami right now.
I really love reading the conversations between Grandma G and you, it's kinda like the bonus section of your blog :)
This has two things that I love, origami and hearts. So I am definitely giving this a try. Those origami look lovely.
Just checked out the tutorial video. Thank you!
Oh they are so cute.
I have a child who will love making these.
I love origami! Maybe I will make those today!
My 8 year old son recently discovered origami-he will love this!!
Someone in our 1st Sunday group meeting taught this one last weekend.
I just finally folded one this morning, and love it!
Fun, right?
Cool they look awesome
I want to try making those
How do you make those because I want to try
P.S. you are great at origami
It seems that the tutorial isn't available anymore. Do you happen to know of an alternative source for instructions?
I don't offhand, but try searching on Youtube.
