The heart is a easy origami model that you can fold and give to the persons you love. You can use it to create greeting cards and Valentine cards. It is perfect for Valentine's Day, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, wedding ceremonies and wedding anniversaries etc. And if you have square paper or cotton towels, you can fold a towel into an heart. Your heart paper towels will look fantastic for a wedding table or a romantic dinner!
