Be My Valentine

Get back to the true meaning of Valentine's Day and show your loved one that you care; not with big expensive gestures but with a little effort put into making a card by hand.

You don't have to be super creative or great at drawing to make this cute little origami Heart box.
I found the link on Pinterest ages ago and bookmarked the tutorial page, planning to find the two colour stiff paper in the meantime. What I ended up with was some thin red card, which was a little too thick to get really neat folds but I used the back of a spoon to make the folds crisp and jazzed up one side of the card with angled stripes to make it a little more masculine. (This one will be presented to my hubby in the morning).

Follow the instructions to make your own in the video on this link: www.origamispirit.com/2012/01/unique-ways-to-keep-romance-alive-part-1-of-3/ 

It's deceptively simple and perfect for those who are new to origami - decorate your own paper to make it really special and leave your loved one a message inside this Valentines day.

I cut a square of white paper to fit neatly inside to write my note on. The red of this card is great but I think it looks nice to have the contrasting bottom colour.

The main thing is to have fun and be a bit silly.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
