5.00The 2 hours activity of weaving Paper Hearts in Frederiksberg in Copenhagen and an amazing experience. We meet so many nice people and Rikke Stoltz were spreading a lot of joy with her open minded approach to all of us and teaching of the Danish Tradition of wwaving Paper Hearts. Also the inclusion of anecdoted to the famous Danish writer Hand Christian Andersen as an assert. We would recommend this event for all coming to Copenhegen eiather as a family event or alone, as a couple or relaxing after a business day. Jens Peter Buch Larsen
A charming and authentic Danish experience – highly recommended!

5.00I brought three of my friends visiting from London to this delightful paper heart weaving activity, and we all absolutely loved it. My friends had never heard of this unique Danish tradition before, and they were completely charmed by the H.C. Andersen-like magic of it all. Rikke is such a warm and thoughtful host – with her international background, she offers a great perspective on Danish culture and traditions that really resonated with us as visitors. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and the whole session was relaxed, cozy, and fun. This is the perfect indoor activity if you're visiting Copenhagen and want something creative and genuinely Danish – a lovely break from sightseeing and a chance to bring home a handmade souvenir. Big recommendation from me – and greetings from my three London friends (young professionals in their early 30s), who are still talking about it!
A charming Danish experience for visiting family

5.00I booked this workshop for some visiting family members from the US, and it ended up being their favorite activity in Copenhagen. It was cozy, authentic, and so different from the usual tourist attractions – we felt like guests in a real Danish home. The heart weaving was surprisingly meditative, and we brought our creations home as souvenirs. Perfect for families looking to connect with local traditions in a meaningful way.
I became completely nostalgic and happy

5.00It is a good idea to get people, for example, a family to enjoy an interest together with merging hearts. We were both Danish and foreigners and it went fine with Danish and English at the same time.
Completely different experience and breathtaking in a busy Copenhagen Easter holiday

5.00It may have been the wrong time of year, but I have long wanted to break the code and learn how to fuse my own Christmas hearts. And it succeeded! It was a super pleasant experience to be visiting Rikke and her cute dog Felix, and now I look forward to Christmas and to all the hearts that I can flatter to my Christmas tree. Thanks for a lovely afternoon Rikke :-)

5.00Rikke's paper hearts are a true expression of Danish hygge. The hearts are nice in and off themselves - but it's really the session, Rikke herself and the hygge that stands out after a day with her. Do yourself a favor and try this when you're in Copenhagen next time !
Simple, lovely and rewarding heart flirting ❤️

5.00A beautiful, hands-on workshop where we learned to weave traditional Danish Christmas hearts. Rikke’s warm energy, contagious laughter – and her sweet dog Felix – made it extra special. Relaxing, inspiring, and full of “hygge”.
