Eco project that uses chocolate wrappers
We collected silver and gold chocolate wrappers since Christmas because I thought the wrappers were so pretty. I decided to make a small mobile to hang in the window that gets the most light *^_^*

  • How to make an origami mobile. Kirigami Heart Mobile - Step 1
    Step 1

    1 – Flatten the wrapper (I use a small ruler).

    2 – Fold it in half widthwise.

    3 – Fold it over again in a book fold.

    4 – Make sure the top and left-hand edges are the folded ones.

    5 – Draw the heart outline as shown, making sure both folded edges are included.

    6 – Cut out the heart shape (shown in dark grey) and carefully flatten with the ruler or heavy book.

    Step 2

    A – Flatten the wrapper like the previous kirigami hearts.

    B – Fold widthwise.

    C – Now fold lengthwise to give you a narrow strip.

    D – Now draw the heart as shown, making sure the curve of the heart includes the side fold as well as the open edges.

    E – Cut along the lines, unfold and carefully flatten.

    Step 3

    All I did for these is simply fold the wrappers in half and cut out two smaller individual hearts.

    Once they are all done, take a ribbon or string, secure them with a dab of glue and let them dry completely.

    It’s done! I love how delicate and pretty it turned out, especially with the shimmer when the sunlight hits it.
