Easy-to-make origami valentines that your date will surely love
Are plush teddy bears and velvet roses from Circle K not your idea of Valentine's Day perfection? Is the only thing left at the store a dented box of Clay Aiken valentines? Save yourself the heartache and risk only paper cuts by making your own.
These Martha Stewart-inspired origami valentines are heart-shaped and fold into their own tiny envelopes. Martha describes them as "thrilling," "mysterious" and "beautiful." Oh, Martha.
Personalize these valentines by extending your own salutation and decoration. Or, if you don't know what to say to friends and loved ones, let people who don't know them do the legwork! Using pictures of celebrities to deliver your Valentine's greetings is always fun.
You don't have to use origami paper, which costs about $3 and can be found at most craft stores. Any paper that isn't too thick and can fold easily will do.
Frame Jude Law's head with a doily or highlight Lil' Kim's ta-tas with a touch of glitter. And for the intellectuals of either sex: a little Scarlett Johansen and Bill Murray ˆ deux.
