Origami is particularly popular when it comes to gifts of money. It gives a money gift for a wedding or other occasion a creative and original touch. The art of folding paper is of course not only suitable for banknotes.

Whether for a wedding, confirmation or birthday: a heart always fits! We’ll show you how to fold it in six easy steps.

Gift ideas with origami heart
There are many possible uses: You can use adhesive strips to stick the money heart in a greeting card or one or more in a frame. It is also nice to attach origami hearts to a thread picture – which perhaps also represents a heart itself ?! The folded notes can also be placed in a small treasure chest (with other thematically matching objects).
