3D origami heart and lips papercraft boxes

3D origami heart and lips papercraft boxes

A gift often begins long before the ribbon. Here, it all starts with paper. Page after page, shapes come to life, edges take form, and soon a box with sculptural relief appears. A heart, then lips. Two powerful symbols transformed into graphic cases that catch the eye even before they are opened.

These freestanding 3D origami models play with volume and facets. They naturally find their place on a shelf, a festive table, or as part of a Valentine’s Day display.

Two models, two distinct presences

The heart box features a generous, well-balanced silhouette. Once assembled, it measures 133 mm in height, 244 mm in width, and 216 mm in depth. Its structure is spread across 12 pages, designed for a progressive and precise build.

The lips box takes a bolder approach. Sensual lines, sharp angles, and confident volume. Its final dimensions reach 134 mm in height, 241 mm in width, and 190 mm in depth, with a total of 11 pages to assemble.

Colors, paper, and final look

Both models are designed to be made using a single paper color. This choice highlights the interplay of light and shadow created by the facets. Whether you choose a deep red, a crisp white, or a more unexpected shade, the volume does the rest.

An assembly that invites you to slow down

You cut. You fold. You assemble, piece by piece, following the numbering. The process becomes precise, almost meditative. This papercraft is made for those who enjoy taking their time and watching an object take shape in their hands. The reward: a decorative box that is sturdy and, above all, made by you.
