Origami Hearts

Origami paper hearts are more than just cute and colourful decorations, and Dragonfly Acrylics knows it!


I have taken the ancient paper heart and added an extra touch of love to my card creations with a hand-folded origami heart as the centrepiece of a floral dot art garland.


The art of paper folding, known as origami, originated in Japan in the 17th century, but it was not until the 19th century that the folded paper heart became a popular expression of love and affection.


The heart shape itself has been a symbol of love and emotion since ancient times, and the origami paper heart added a unique and personalized touch to the expression of those feelings. Nowadays, origami paper hearts are a favourite among crafters and DIY enthusiasts worldwide, and they continue to bring joy and love to people's lives in a fun and creative way.


At Dragonfly Acrylics I have brought the origami paper heart tradition into the 21st century with my unique and personalised touch. My floral garland greetings cards are a testament to the creativity and love that goes into each hand-folded origami heart.


So, whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to brighten someone's day, these cards will surely do the trick!


Show someone how much you care with a stunning floral garland greetings card, with a hand-folded origami heart at its centre, available now in Dragonfly Acrylics' Etsy shop, DragonflyAcrylics.Etsy.com
