Mauve mice with cheese 3D origami papercraft

The art of papercraft through a mouse full of character

Placed on a shelf or tucked into a corner of your desk, this papercraft mouse catches the eye without ever stealing the show. Its geometric lines create depth and rhythm, almost giving it a little personality of its own. You start with a few folds, assemble the pieces, and before long the shape comes to life. A simple, hands‑on pleasure that appeals just as much to creative hobbyists as to lovers of original décor.

This model naturally belongs in the world of 3D animal origami, with that extra touch of soul that comes from building it yourself.

Two mice, two silhouettes, one shared experience

The design offers two distinct versions, each with its own look and proportions. Choose the one that fits your space best… or make both.

• Mouse Model 1: 290 mm high, 180 mm wide and 270 mm deep. The ideal size for an elegant, well‑balanced presence. Model made up of 8 pages and 35 pieces.
• Mouse Model 2: 180 mm high, 230 mm wide and 420 mm deep. A more elongated, almost playful silhouette. Model made up of 7 pages and 37 pieces.

Both mice are made using colored cardstock paper. One single color is enough for each model, but your color choice can completely change the mood: minimal, fun, graphic… let your creativity lead the way.

A smooth assembly designed for enjoyment

The steps flow naturally: cutting, folding, matching reference points, gluing. Nothing unnecessary. The difficulty level stays accessible, making it perfect for getting started or for sharing a creative moment together. And once finished, the mouse becomes a decorative object in its own right, handmade - and it shows.
