origami-heart picture frame

The heart-shaped picture frame shown in the left panel was designed by Mike Van Horne. It’s a nice and easy origami model folded from the windmill base.

For the variation shown on the right, I added a few more folds that made for a firmer lock, removed the small white “cracks” and  produced the solid red color on the sides.

Here is a video to fold the windmill base,
Can you figure out how to make the heart frame?

Have a happy Valentine’s Day!
