The Art of Papercraft

February 13th, 2009

080aMy friends and I have been really into papercraft recently. Anyone can easily make their favorite characters from a piece of paper and an exacto knife. Among my friends, we’ve made Leonardo, V from V for Vendetta, Stormtrooper, Darth Vader, Domo Kun, Goomba, Kermt the Frog, Mushroom, Mario, and Piranha Plant. I might make some more this weekend. In this post, I’ll give a brief walkthrough how to make your own papercraft characters.

What Instructions look like.

stormtrooper

How to make them

  1. Cut along the black outlines
  2. Cut the slits
  3. Fold. Match the letters. (remember, no glue is required for the cube type)

Each character is different. Some are more difficult and might take more than one page. The Cubees are generally easier than the round ones by Trogdoriangrey. The entire process takes around 1 hour.
