Origami Hearts

February 13th, 2008 by Simone

At the beginning of the year, I set myself a goal of making 99 different pair of earrings this year. Here is Pair No. 3. Admittedly, progress has been a little slow lately, but it is only February. So in the spirit of the season here are the origami hearts.

To make them use your favorite origami heart folding technique and make four hearts. These were folded out of 5 x 5 cm paper scraps. Glue two hearts together, which leaves you with one pair. You can varnish the hearts to make them more sturdy. To suspend them, pierce the heart (very dramatic) with a pin and ease a jump ring through the hole. From there on out it’s up to your creativity: turn them into earrings, make a bunch for a charm bracelet, or skip the piercing and glue a pin back to the heart.

If you want to follow my progress with this endeavor, here is the 99Earrings project blog.
