After posting the origami DAD letters, I received a request to do MUM or MOM (for American English).
The letter, M, O and U are designed by Fumiaki Shingu. I modified it a little so it’s less condensed to match the size of the Origami DAD letters on my previous post. These 3 letters are all started from the same size of square paper which is divided into 8 equal sections horizontally and vertically. It takes quite some time to divide the paper, but once you have it all done, you only need a few more steps to fold it into the letter.

Please watch my YouTube video to see the technique I used to divide the paper into 8 equal sections precisely. The are many ways to divide the paper into 8 sections. For example, fold the paper in half, and fold it in half again 2 more times. This is the quickest way but when folding paper in layers, you would not get all the sections divided equally due to the thickness of the paper.
