Learn how to make the origami “Stay home” symbol

Difficulty level: simple
I’ve created this model based on the Instagram sticker with a heart and a little house.
During this difficult time of COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing is the best way to stay safe. So, in order to raise awareness, people are using the hashtag #stayhome on social networks.
And, of course, the origami community also joined the cause: now there are many variations of houses and hearts by different artists around the globe. Click here to see a list of some of these models folded by Sara Adams.
My version is pretty simple so I think even beginners can fold it. The top part of the heart is similar to my Heart Stand and I used the rest of the paper to make a simple house with a color change on the roof.
Stay home, save lives.
Paper
The origami “Stay home” symbol works better if you use paper with different colors on each side due to the color change on the roof. Any simple paper like standard 15cm x 15cm origami paper works well.
In the video tutorial I’m using 15cm x 15cm kraft paper.
