3D Origami Squirrel Papercraft

A Low Poly squirrel that comes to life in your hands

Sometimes all it takes is a few sheets of paper, a bit of patience, and a good dose of curiosity to see a characterful animal emerge. This 3D origami squirrel papercraft captures the lively energy and playful spirit of this small forest dweller, presented in a bold Low Poly style that feels both modern and decorative.

As you assemble it, each facet falls into place. The squirrel gradually takes shape, angle by angle, until it becomes a striking paper sculpture—perfect for enhancing a shelf, a desk, or a creative wall. It’s a project that invites you to slow down, focus, and truly enjoy the pleasure of making something by hand.

A model designed for paper craft enthusiasts

This model is part of the designer creations featured in the PapercraftFreak collection. It was designed to strike a subtle balance between technical challenge and assembly enjoyment, without ever feeling repetitive.

• Final dimensions: height 260 mm, depth 320 mm, width 140 mm
• Number of pages: 6 pages to assemble
• Number of pieces: several hundred numbered parts for precise assembly

Color play and creative freedom

The model is structured around several distinct shades. One black-and-white page lays the foundation, while five brown-toned pages bring depth, texture, and volume to the fur. Feel free to adjust the colors, intensify them, or reinterpret them to create a completely unique squirrel.

Every fold and every glued edge contributes to the final look. Take your time—the more carefully you assemble it, the more impressive the result. And when the last piece clicks into place, the sense of satisfaction is instant.
