Flying Origami Heart

Each of these cute little origami hearts is made from a single sheet of red-white paper, without any cuts or glue. The diagram for this heart (and for many-many others!) can be found in the book “Origami Hearts” by Francis Ow.

Name:	Flying Origami Heart
Designer:	Paul Ee
Paper ratio:	square
Paper size:	5 / 7 / 10 cm
Model size:	~ 4.5 / 6.5 / 9 cm
Paper:	Kami origami paper (Japan)
Diagram:	published in Origami Hearts by Francis Ow, p. 89

If you don’t own the book yet, there is a video tutorial by Tadashi Mori for a very similar model, Origami Winged Heart by Francis Ow. The difference between the two lies in how wings are folded (the model by Paul Ee is much simpler and has less folds).

Origami Tissue Box

This origami Tissue box works like a tissue holder, it opens from either side and can be refilled time and time again.
I used a 24*24 cm square of scrapbooking paper to make a box for a standard pocket tissue pack (no glue needed).

I would say this is an intermediate-level model (it involves making pleats and squash folds). From the other hand, the diagram is very clear and I was able to follow it just fine without even test folding.

Name:	Tissue Box 2
Designer:	Paul Ee (based on a model by Francis Ow)
Paper ratio:	square
Paper size:	24 cm
Model size:	~ 1263 cm
Paper:	scrapbooking paper
