So this Valentine’s Day, why not make love? Fold a mountain of hearts and string them up for all to see. Allowing you to remember all the reasons you do love that special someone.

Once you learn the folds, there is something almost meditative about origami – your mind is free as your hands create. The sentiment of “Make Love” stuck with me – turning simple squares of paper into the iconic shape of love. Be it a heartfelt note, a homecooked meal or something else.Įver since I saw this Make Love origami poster from Vancouver-based Field Trip, I knew that origami hearts would be a big part of my Valentine’s this year. What do I want for Valentine’s Day? A gift from the heart – and preferably a handmade one. However, what does linger from my anti-Valentines days is an aversion to the typical box of chocolates, long-stemmed red roses, heart-shaped pendant version of the holiday. Anyway, since that fateful night, Valentine’s Day has grown on me. I certainly wasn’t looking for love in a tiny underground (literally) Japanese dance club – but the universe is funny that way, sending us gifts when we least expect it. But then, you see, I met my husband on Valentine’s Day. I fell into that group of people who found it to be a bit of an overdone, commercial holiday. I must admit, I wasn’t always fussy about Valentine’s Day.
