Flapping Winged Heart by Jo Nakashima

Learn how to make the origami Flapping Winged Heart, an action model for Valentine’s Day! I created two different types of wings but I couldn’t decide witch one was the best, so I made both versions!

This origami requires a rectangle with ratio 4:1, so in the beginning of the tutorials/diagrams I just show how to get the proper size from a standard square sheet. I recommend 24cm x 6cm sheet of paper.

Notice: at first I’ve made these diagrams only for the video, not to be published separately. For this reason, some transitions or steps might not be so clear. If you find some step difficult, you can find more detailed instructions in the video tutorial.
