I love these little heart stud earrings that I had made recently! A wonderful hand-made gift for a friend.

This was the first time I am trying out stud earrings instead of hanging ones. Well, I have made star earrings in the same way before, but this, I found, was much more delicate than the stars, so that meant I had to use additional reinforcements to ensure it doesn't bend. So, a lot of experimentation later, voila! A couple of pretty, delicate yet strong heart earring studs.

What is Valentine's Day without one of Francis Ow's hearts? So here you go, Ow's Double Hearts.

The 2 hearts are made from half a square and each heart displays one side of the paper. So naturally, double sided paper with contrasting colours work best.

I used a double-sided 120 gsm 8-inch paper cut into 2. This was the only double-sided paper I had, so had to make do. But regardless, I was able to make the origami. So yay!!
