If you like my work, please consider visiting and subscribing to my YouTube channel! You’ll find all my work, including models that are not in this website and also models from other origami artists. 2018 version (left) and 2023 version (right) – both made from 15cm x 15cm square From the bottom you can see the 2018 version has better locks Support my work! It also don’t feel sturdy like the previous version because some parts will have thinner layers. There are only 3 locks at corners and the bottom edges are open (the model will stay locked but you can see the white side there). It has fewer folds, so it is less time consuming and the paper usage is more efficient (meaning you can make larger hearts from the same size of paper, or use smaller sizes).

I made the 2023 version as an easier alternative. The locks are great, there are no unwanted creases/flaps/layers, the distribution of paper is good making it feel sturdy and the white side is 100% hidden. For this reason I think these tutorials don’t get as much views as they deserve.Ģ018 version – which I named “ Nakashima Heart” trying to differentiate from other origami hearts – is definitely my favorite. They look the same! And they look like the traditional origami heart, a very simple heart but not double sided. It’s really difficult to show how good my origami hearts are with only the picture in the thumbnail of the video.
