Origami Mouse Printable Instructions
Let’s learn how to fold a cute origami mouse designed by Mister Paperfold (Sébastien Limet). It’s a small model with a lot of character and a nice balance between structure and shaping. The finished mouse has a compact body, a pointed snout, and a long tail that can be curved or left straight. The ears and head can be adjusted to change the posture, which gives the model a surprising range of expressions. As you can see, the same base can lead to very different results depending on how much shaping you add, from a clean, geometric form to a more realistic mouse with a slightly rounded body, a lowered head, and a gently curved tail. This model is suitable for beginners with a bit of experience. The folds themselves are not too complex, but it’s a great opportunity to practice crimp folds and especially shaping. Take your time with the last steps and try a few variations. You can keep it simple and geometric, or push the shaping further to create a more lifelike mouse.
