Have you heard that writing love notes helps keep the flame of romance burning bright in a relationship?
Well, give your next love note or Valentine invitation some extra sparkle by placing it within this easy-to-make origami heart-box.
Since the box and note can be folded flat, it can be discretely placed in our loved one’s purse or wallet for the unexpected moment and surprise discovery.
Francis Ow (Singapore), creator of this charming model, has graciously given me permission to make this video tutorial.
Here are some other ideas on what else can be placed in the heart box.
- a dinner invitation
- a mischievous note ;-)
- a cherished memory
- a promise
- a coupon
- a ticket for a show
- a gift card
Do you have any other ideas you’d care to share?

Love this one! Easy to follow because you explained it so well. Thank you!
You are such a good teacher, Leyla! This model, as always, is impeccably demonstrated.
Many thanks to Francis Ow for his design. I had been folding the traditional pop-up-box /envelope with a few variations to make a heart shape on the front. It looked pretty good; however, it snagged at the top and did not fully open. This model has quickly been replaced by Francis’ model.
His design is so clever, elegant and easy. I have made 6 already this morning ;-)
Thank you both creator and teacher.

The box is so difficult, but you make it seem so easy! I completed the box, viewing the video only once!
I shall try this, it’s beautiful. I made my own paper heart, but not origami. You can see it at http://happenence.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/paper-hearts/
Thanks for the tutorial! Looked at the video and taught it at the Westcoast Origami Guild today. Really cute model!
