Well, making a paper heart needs a classical origami technique, which is quite simple and easy. But when you want to express your emotions to someone, that basic origami heart is not enough.
That’s why you should check out these REALLY CREATIVE ways to make origami hearts with video tutorials. I have an origami heart press toy, a secret message or greeting card holder, a bookmark, and a few more.
The recipe to make these origami hearts is to choose CREATIVE colors, message hiding ideas, and draw cute faces. Especially, I should recommend the hugging heart, arrow heart, and heart with wings.
They are easy, quick, and colorful. So, why not make your loved one feel your feelings with these heart origami gifts?

Way #1: Origami Easy Jumping Heart

This is such a cute and fun origami heart toy. When you press and release the heart paper spring, it will bounce back as if ready to give its heart.
The bigger heart is so easy to fold without glue, and you can draw cute faces on it. Like maybe < eye, oval kawaii eye, or sleeping eye with eyelashes.
Make them in different colors for the whole family. They are just so fun to play with.
We will need:
- a sheet of paper 19×19 cm/7.5×7.5 inches for a large heart
- 1 or 2 sheets of paper 9×9 cm/3.5×3.5 inches for a spring
- a sheet of paper 8×8 cm/3×3 inches for a small heart
Way #2: Origami Hugging Paper Heart

In a clever origami heart, the basic idea is that it should reflect love. And yup! This cute origami hugging heart is just right for expressing love. You can gift on Mother’s Day with a small message, “Big Hug.”
Another interesting thing is that you can pull the arms outside; well, that one is a surprise. Make them e in different colors and with different face drawings.

Way #3: Say it All with Cute Origami Heart

There it is, another surprise origami heart. These are origami hearts with wings and cute faces. Here is the catch! The back will have a small strip that, when pulled, will show your message.
Maybe you write “I love you, Alisa.” Even then, you can make it without a message, and they still hold much weight. You might be looking for drawing ideas; the tutorial has 4 of them.
We will need:
- a square sheet of paper 17×17 cm / 6.5×6.5 inches
- pens and markers
- white strip of paper 2.5 cm / 1 inch wide for notes and glue
Way #4: Origami Heart with Message

Origami Heart with arrow has the basic origami heart and holds a small greeting message for Valentine’s Day. You can write your own message like “I Love You.”
The message can be written directly on the arrow, and when someone opens the heart, wow.
If you already know how to fold a heart, the arrow is simply a cutout. So, need not worry about anything.
We need:
- square sheet of paper 17×17 cm / 8×8 inches (or less)
- a sheet of paper for the arrow
- markers and scissors
Way #5: Origami Heart Bookmark

Write an encouraging note on your heart, like “Believe” or draw a smiling face.
With the corner rule, it can fit any of your books. So, feel free to share with your friends and a loved one.
It will take:

I want to stress that the origami heart is again basic, just the idea is so special that it becomes worth trying. And yup, you can attach wings, write an instructive message, or draw a face.
Way #7: Origami Dog with Heart Message
