Okay, it could be any color you want it to be – I mean “green” as in “eco-friendly” not the actual color!

Check out this sweet how-to from Paper Source – Recycled Origami Hearts show your love for the planet for Earth Day, make some for your mom for Mother’s Day (Dads, help your kids make some for Mom!!!) or make some for your Sweetheart! Brighten someone’s day with this spectacularly easy recycled gift. Below is a picture of one I made using a paper bag – it took less than a minute to make!

I made this heart!

Personalize these little hearts any way you want! Make a love note into an origami heart and mail it to your love or tape one to the bathroom mirror for them to find. Pack one into your child’s lunch, make the mobile pictured above for mom on Mother’s Day, send one to a family member, make one for a friend and tuck it into the book you are gifting them so they can use it as a bookmark…what ideas do you have? Leave me a comment and let me know!

I {heart} Paper Source and this fab how-to!

Happy gifting!

Great idea! Thanks! I will make one and stick it in the empty Klondike Icecream Bar (R) box that is never thrown away by the person who eats the last one. I think the heart will be more effective than my nagging which has yet to work.
