Something as simple as an origami heart can help us keep romance alive. And writing a love note to go with it will help keep the flame burning bright.
Give your next love note or Valentine invitation some extra sparkle by placing it within this easy-to-make origami heart box.
Since the heart 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.
Origami artist 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 origami heart box.
- a dinner invitation
- a mischievous note ;-)
- a cherished memory
- a promise
- a coupon
- a ticket for a show
- a gift card
What else could we place inside this origami heart? Do you have any other ideas you’d care to share? Please leave your ideas in the comments.

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 This model has quickly been replaced by Francis’ model.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!
Such a beautiful Heart Box, and you made it so simple to make with your expert video intructions. Thanks a million.
Thanks for this video – you make it really easy to follow. This is going to form part of my paper wedding anniversary gift :-)
Happy anniversary! Please share a photo with us when you fold it.
