Origami Heart Box – Free Printable Coloring Template

Sharing is caring!

I’ve been wanting to make an origami heart box to match my origami heart card, but honestly, I need to keep my origami very simple or it fails. So I created this origami heart box coloring template – it’s really more like a paper craft, but if you fold it from a single sheet of paper, I can call it origami, right? Well, even if not, I’m a rule-breaker. So there! Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links.

Since it’s an adult coloring page craft too, it’s the perfect way to add a touch of personalization to a store-bought gift. If you prefer to ditch the box option, you can color this heart coloring page instead.

I printed two versions: one on red paper and one on white card stock. It’s REALLY fun to color with gel pens on the colored paper, BUT I learned that this origami heart box does need to be printed on card stock. So if you want to go with the colored version, you’ll need colored card.

The gel pen version has a soft shimmer and texture because I stuck with red-based tones. Meaning, it only adds a tint and either a metallic, pastel, or neon texture.

The white version was colored with Prismacolor Premier markers – primarily because that’s what I had out for another project I was working on. You’re probably better off sticking with regular markers for this, not alcohol.

I filled it with pink and silver chocolates and it was just perfect.

I actually have a confession to make: the template is NOT perfect. I was debating if I should ditch sharing this origami heart box with you totally because it’s not perfect. With a sick baby, and a snow day, I just didn’t have the time to refine it.

But I decided to go with it. I also glued the center tabs together instead of slotting them, because I wanted it to be more secure. And I sealed the box with washi tape.

And finally, I need to tell you that you MIGHT want a spare copy of this origami heart box template handy while you cut (you can simply keep the PDF file open on the computer) since I made the markings really light (so that it doesn’t look ugly, and you don’t need to trace from another sheet). You can see them all, but once you color you might not. You also might miss one since it’s very light.

Keep in mind that you CAN interlock the two sides if you prefer – so then interlock it BEFORE gluing down. I glued them together instead.

6. Whoops, I had forgotten to cut a few slits! These are the “hidden slits” I’m talking about. They help you tuck the lid into the body of the box. If you didn’t before, go back and cut them.
