How to Fold a Love Letter into an Origami Heart

How to Fold a Letter into an Origami Heart | I Try DIY

I still remember how I learned to fold letters into origami hearts like these. It was sometime in highschool. I had received a letter folded into this cute little heart. I had left it in my room while I was off to school. When I got back home, that letter was unraveled on my bed. Whoever snooped to read it, couldn’t put back the humpty dumpty of a letter back together again. Did a heart-shaped letter scream love letter? I was pretty pissed off back then, but I find it extremely funny now. Read on to learn how to make an origami heart. (Scroll down to the very end to watch a video tutorial instead!)

Red Velvet Mocha

  • Tutorials
  • Jan 31, 2014

For the last week, I’ve been thinking of DIY/Tutorial ideas perfect for both Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year. The one thing the two occasions have in common was the color Red. So there I was, taking the last sip of my morning coffee when it hit me.

RED. VELVET. COFFEE.

Here’s the recipe I came up with!

I Try DIY | Red Velvet Mocha

You’ll need the following ingredients:

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Milk, Vanilla or Caramel syrup, Red food coloring, and coffee!

I’ve been using Torani and Da Vinci syrups, but pretty much any syrup will work.

I Try DIY | Red Velvet Mocha

I started off with a heaping teaspoon of cocoa, two pumps of syrup and red food coloring.

I added two shots of espresso, and stirred thoroughly.

I steamed some milk until was rich and creamy, and poured it into the espresso mixture.

Play around with the ingredient measurements until you get the combination that works best for you.

And for a fun and quirky finish, I scooped some frothy milk foam and made a heart!
