Origami Design - Christmas is the time for LOVE 3 in 1 Model

I joined the Mini-Reto Hearts origami challenge again and came up with a cool design.  It's a "3 models in 1" from one uncut square sheet of paper.

Here it is:

Front View - "Sumo"Santa Claus

A big bodied Papa Noel ... I likened to the sumo wrestlers of Japan but super cooler :-).

Back View - Christmas Tree

A cute mini christmas tree for the back side.

Inside - a Huge Heart

An enormous movable heart ... a big surprise!

Made a short video of this special model so you may be able to see the transformation clearer. 

Enjoy and wish one and all a wonderful Christmas!

Origami Heart over Heart Romantic Video

I was tinkering with Instagram and came about a nice video creation product called Flipagram.  

Hmmmm ... perked my interest so I tried to make one using my "Heart over Heart" origami fold.  I showed the finished product to my wife and daughter and they liked it a lot.

Here is my mini simple movie titled "Origami Heart Love Notes".

Music is from my wife's favorite song and singer - A thousand years by Christina Perri.

Hope you liked it.

Origami Design / Creation - Simple Heart over Heart Origami

Saw a lot of origami heart pieces being displayed for Valentines day so I tried to design one for myself.  The first rule is that it should be something simple and heart shaped.  

So, I started doodling and came up with this:

 

I call it "Heart over heart".  A small heart on top of a bigger one ... I likened it to be a "Husband and wife", a "Parent and a son/daughter".  I checked the internet for anything like this design but wasn't able to find one so I believe that this is either too easy or a traditional model that nobody really folded.  To me, it is a great origami piece!

This model can be used for:

A bookmark

Or for something as daring as a ...

Love Note

For everyone's enjoyment, I created a tutorial video below:

Hope you like it ... have a great day!
