A very cute mouse folded from a square. It is not very difficult to fold and works well with origami paper, 6 inch square.

I like these little guys, they are about 3 inches in size, excluding the tail.

This is the second model I am folding from the book 'Origami - 30 Fold-by-Fold Projects'. The other one I have folded was Francis Ow's Double Hearts. So far I have found the models fairly easy to fold. Hopefully I will try out a few more in the days to come. Specifically the elephant!

What is Valentine's Day without one of Francis Ow's hearts? So here you go, Ow's Double Hearts.

The 2 hearts are made from half a square and each heart displays one side of the paper. So naturally, double sided paper with contrasting colours work best.

I used a double-sided 120 gsm 8-inch paper cut into 2. This was the only double-sided paper I had, so had to make do. But regardless, I was able to make the origami. So yay!!
