When were were at a Chinese Buffet, I noticed several Origami hearts clipped over a glass at the checkout counter. The little Chinese waitress handed one to me to see. It was so neat!
On one side, you can insert a coin (no idea why, other than as a weight if you use it as a bookmark?), the back side clips over a page but it's soo neat. I traded her $2 for 2 of the hearts. I've been trying to take a picture of it but it keeps turning out blurry. Here are instructions on You Tube
Thanks - I've been looking for unique 'little things' to give my granddaughter. She'll love this!

Thanks for posting both! With the patience it takes to fold it, it's worth doing on a larger bill, like a $20!

Oooops... sorry, I should have stated in my post that I didn't MAKE this video. I didn't know what this heart was called. So I did a Google search on Origami Heart and the youtube page came up. So I included it my post. I didn't meant to mis-represent it. I couldn't locate any written instructions, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to follow them anyway. But who ever made this video certainly did a great job and is very patient! But in the small picture at the top.
I took the picture of the little finished heart. I held it to the screen and took the pic.
