Origami Heart Envelope Printable Instructions

This origami heart envelope was designed by the late Francis Ow, whose heart-themed creations continue to inspire folders around the world. Folded from a single rectangle, this sweet design transforms a simple sheet of paper into an envelope locked with a heart. It’s not difficult, but it does require a bit of folding experience. I recommend starting with a square and cutting it in half. That way, you can make two envelopes at once, perfect for sending a little love to more than one person. Looking for an easier model? This origami heart is one of our most popular beginner models, perfect for a quick and satisfying fold.
