Papercraft!


Papercraft!
Have you guys heard it before? It’s definitely something made from paper of course, hehe. Well, just in case you forget it, papercraft is a form of crafting in which paper is used to create 3D objects such as models or sculptures.
Hm… making 3D objects with paper? Sounds like origami. So, what’s the difference? Okay, I tell you what, unlike origami, papercraft involves cutting up paper or cardboard and gluing it back together, although some folding and bending may be involved.
Nowadays, various paper craft patterns are easy to obtain via the internet. Just download it, print it out, and voila! You will have already got a ready-to-build papercraft pattern! For people who do love this crafting, they tend to choose to make their own patterns. Actually, two most important things in making paper toys are tenacity and thoroughness, especially if the pattern is very complex.
Things you need to make a papercraft are:
- paper (260-300 g)
- cutter and scissors
- glue (I recommend you UHU glue stick or Fox glue)
Well! That’s all, guys!.
