How to Make Happy Origami Hearts

Crafts

My oldest daughter received an origami kit as a gift a couple of years ago. It was the perfect thing for her and she quickly memorized dozens of folds, including origami hearts. She has used this fun paper folding skill to entertain children in situations where they need to be quiet. She also regularly gives away pretty origami sculptures to crying children in stores, to neighbors, and to her friends.

While we’re here at home (for anyone reading this later…we’re in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic), we decided to do a collaborative craft project. We created two videos. In this video, she teaches you how to fold origami hearts. And later we’ll show you how to create a happy heart garland for your window.

The only supplies you’ll for this craft is a stack of origami paper. Here is the 6″ Rainbow pattern origami paper we used in the video. We also like this  6″ Kaleidoscope pattern origami paper. For our garland, we also used this 4″ Japanese washi pattern origami paper which has more muted colors.

Without further ado, our first craft video:

How to Make Happy Origami Hearts!

Check out our next video to see how we make a beautiful garland featuring all of these origami hearts. It’s super fun to watch us fold a couple dozen hearts in fast motion!

    Enjoyed making rainbow hearts as hearts in washi patterns.

    Having trouble stringing rainbow hearts (6” size as video shows).
    Bakers twine is too thick but thought that was what being shown.

    What kind of string/thread was used in video doing vertical heart origami?

    Really like your site.

This year has been an emotional roller coaster for This year has been an emotional roller coaster for me...how about you? I’ve had some really amazing licensing partnerships and we’ve enjoyed a lot of growth as a family. But I’ve also experienced a lot of hurt and disappointment over circumstances that I cannot control.

Emotions overwhelm me...so I usually just don’t. I’ve had to learn to feel some things this year and just sit in the overwhelm. I’m sure you’ve been there.

Not much to do with the image, but here’s a happy flower bouquet for you and maybe a friend could use one too. 🪴☀️ Lean into the hard and find ways to come out of it stronger and moving forward.

Looking for a sewing project? I designed this back Looking for a sewing project? I designed this back when I was going to stores with 5 kids under 6 (how did I even?). I needed a bag that allowed me to have free hands. This one can be worn as a backpack or as a crossbody.

Happy little houses ❤️ I reworked this pattern Happy little houses ❤️ I reworked this pattern without the barns. It coordinates with the neighborly art prints I added to the shop a few weeks ago...a reminder that we need each other. Intentional community ☺️

My favorite part of pattern design is changing color palettes. Which is your favorite?

Have you adopted more plants this year? I’ve man Have you adopted more plants this year? I’ve managed to keep some succulents alive for a few years, so I’ve slowly been adding a few more houseplants.

This isn’t one of them, but I thought it would be fun to decorate a planter for the #hollyjollydesignchallenge - to illustrate over an image. Plain pot to happy painted pot 🪴

Another quick design prompt for the @hollyjollydesignchallenge ...
These short design projects have been a good way to rest and experiment with some new work. Having a specific end product in mind really makes the design process easier.

These are coordinating winter coffee cup patterns. I prefer a seasonal vibe over super theme-y Christmas designs. How about you?

Hopeful for the day when our space is filled with Hopeful for the day when our space is filled with friends again! We bought this house with hospitality in mind. Not being able to invite people in has been challenging me to extend hospitality in other ways...loving and supporting our community from a distance.

It’s worth reaching out to people, even from a distance. You never know how a small gesture might be just what someone needs to make through another hard day. ❤️

We watched a family Christmas movie a couple nights ago and I doodled all these mugs while we watched. They were begging to become a pattern. What do think? Gift wrap next year?
