No one really knows. Cai Lun is officially recognized in Chinese records as the creator of paper, but samples have been found as old as the 2nd-century BCE, which of course predates his existence by at least 100 years. People have a natural inclination to fold paper when they have access to it, so origami was probably developed by numerous individuals over many centuries, as opposed to a single person creating it.

How do you make an origami toothbrush?
First, I am going to assume you mean a human skull. There are many published skull diagrams, both in books and on the internet. Sometimes, paper that is white on one side and black on the other is used to get the effect of the interior of the skull, or the pits of the eye sockets, for example. There are also diagrams of other skulls, such as cattle skulls, for example. Find an origami diagram made using the standard conventions that is of the level of complexity appropriate to your skills and follow it. There are several diagrams available on the web ranging in complexity. Alternatively, find a video showing how to make one, like on YouTube.
If you are not already experienced in folding origami, you might need to make something pretty simple. If you don't mind drawing the eyes and nose on the paper, something a purist might not want to do, but if you are just having fun, what's the harm? Here is a video of a simple skull like that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT2rTESrkUk A skull that looks good and is of perhaps intermediate folding complexity is located here: http://www.spiraclemusic.com/webwalk/skullsy1.htm A link to a pdf of instructions for an unusual, very cool origami skull involving mirror-reflection, and requiring complex skill to produce, can be found here: http://www.iamanangelchaser.com/files/art/art_i_like.html - Mike

How do you make an origami heart?
Fold the top right corner downwards so that it meets the left side of the paper. Unfold it, and do the same thing to the opposite corner; do not unfold.
3. Fold the bottom part that's still white in half upwards, so that the white doesn't show anymore.4. Unfold the top part, so just the bottom part is folded.Then, turn your paper over.
5. Fold the top part down across the center of the cross made by previous creases (along the green line shown; the top edge should meet the yellow line in the image).Then unfold it again.
6. Turn the paper over again.Take the left and right sides of the paper (where the horizontal crease is) and pull them toward you. As you pull them, the other two creases should be folding too. Pull the two sides inwards so they touch. This can take several tries if you are new to this.
7. Fold the bottom left corner (just the top layer- not the whole thing) of the top triangle to the top and do the same with the opposite side.8. Fold the left side towards the center and again do it to the other side.9. Fold the entire thing in half vertically, then unfold.Turn over.
10. Take the two bottom corners and fold them upwards, so they meet at the center.11. Notice at the top there are three individual flaps, two small ones and a big one.Fold the big one down.
12. Tuck the two corners you folded earlier into the space inside the big flap.13. Fold the two remaining top flaps downwards at an angle.14. Tuck the corners of those flaps into the space in the big flap too.I myself do a lot of origami, not only is it a great way to pass time but it is really fun! I like to learn different types of origami and perfect it, I enjoy comparing what i started out with (a piece of paper) and then seeing the finished product.
