HANDMADE VALENTINES DAY GIFT

With Valentines Day coming up, we've decided to share some of our favourite origami pieces that you can make for your Valentine. 

Pair of Origami Love Birds (Cranes)

Cranes hold a symbolic representation in many cultures. The Japanese refer to the crane as " The bird of Happiness"; the Chinese as "The bird from Heaven"; and many Eastern cultures worship these birds for their love, peace and harmony. Cranes are monogamous birds and make a great gift to show longevity. 

The pair of cranes is designed by Tsu Do Ing.

Orchids Blossoming From the Heart. 

I combined together two origami pieces to make this jewellery/gift box.

Orchids represent love, beauty and strength. 

The orchid is designed by Mariko Miyamoto and the Heart Box is designed by Jeremy Shafer - watch his video tutorial here.

Tetrahedron Heart.

I attached a simple origami heart onto a Tetrahedron to make a minimal and fun display.

The tetrahedron is designed by Thomas Hull - watch his video here.

Flying Heart.

Make someone a heart this Valentines day with this cute flying heart design.

Rose Gift Box.

This is a beautiful rose flower box and could be perfect for chocolates.

And last but certainly not least, the spectacular Rose Flower Ball.
