Valentines Origami – Ring with a Heart

Here’s another very creative gift idea for the upcoming Valentines – a ring with a heart. The size of the ring can be easily adjusted with the size of the paper. Make two rings, one for yourself and another for the one you love.

Instructions:

1. The length of the side of the square should be approximately equal to the size of the ring you are creating. Divide the square horizontally by 8 equal parts.
