Angelic Heartbeat EKG Necklace

A winged heart necklace upcycled out of electrocardiogram (EKG) graph paper! Another entry for the Trash to Treasure Contest!
In my Biology 220 course in college, we learn how to take and interpret each others' EKGs in lab. After the lab, though, we end up with a lot of EKG graph paper that nobody wants. Instead of recycling or tossing it all, I collected all the unwanted paper because I wanted to make crafts out of it~!
I've considered making more to sell and donating the proceeds to the American Heart Association (AHA). Would anyone be interested? What would be a good price? I think it'd make a great gift for pre-med, pre-nursing types of people. :3

Amazingly awesome necklace and a FANTASTIC idea!!!!! 
Thank you! ^-^
You should totally make some and donate to AHA. Its a great idea
Thank you! I will see if I can get some sort of online store setup soon so that I can sell these and donate the proceeds to AHA. I don't think AHA would take the crafts directly... XD
This is SUCH a brilliant idea! I love how you made the wings and added in the graph line *_* ahh nostalgia for all the bio classes again haha~ You should totally make these to sell! <3
Haha, I love the wings on this origami pattern too, though I had a tough time folding them and had to use tweezers. (fingernails are always clipped. 
)
I know~! I can't believe people would toss their EKGs after the lab; even if I wasn't going to make crafts out of it, I'd still keep my EKG just to know that I have a normal sinus rhythm. XD
Thanks for the
as well!
