This is a Bumagid model purchased from Etsy. This was apparently an easy pattern. I clearly am a very very dumb person then. I didn’t know what I was doing half the time. Oh well, the wife likes it enough to have me put it on the wall rather than in the trash. Obviously could have been way cleaner but I don’t have the patience to do it again. I do like the polygonal aesthetics of this style of paper craft though.

Not sure if I should bring it to university to finish it because I don't know what kind of people my roommates are. However, if I keep it at home I won't be able to finish it until probably December so idk.

I have in progress work photos from the very beginning, but I'll show those once I actually finish the model.

EDIT 2: Thanks for all the positive responses! Its a bit too much to reply to them all but I'll do it here.

I posted this as a WIP a few weeks ago, done now and barely fits in my house, so might need to find it another home. Made entirely from cut paper and glue. Bonus dog who keeps me company while I work.

Hello. 😊 Papercraft for me started completely by chance while making an entirely different gift, and it turned into a hobby I truly enjoy. These pieces were created by exploring papercraft and templates; they were the perfect gift idea and a absolute pleasure to make(music and violin are something very special for me).
The templates are from Canon Creative Print and mypapercraft.net, personalized for the recipients, with a few extra details added for a complete "wow" factor.

The paper I used was 160 gsm, which turned out to be wonderful to work with, and the glue was Uhu Alleskleber, which was easy to apply, performed great with the paper, and gave enough time for adjustments and getting the edges aligned perfectly.
And used silver soft jewelry wire for the violin strings, which makes a fantastic imitation of real ones.

Do you have any advice or suggestions for my next project? Perhaps you could point me toward a free website where I could find something equally challenging to make?

As promised, finished the Witch's cauldron just in time and added a witch hat to it as well because... why not. It just made the whole set complete.

Cauldron was a bit bigger than I initially anticipated, always difficult to estimate how something looks on screen vs in real. But it sure is a stunning center deco piece for halloween. Wouldn't have it any other way.

It pairs perfectly with the potion bottle sets I designed last year.
Inspiration came a bit late this year so the templates for the cauldron and hat will follow later, but at least there is enough time to prepare for next year!

I love making papercraft, so I designed these little potion bottles. They’re fun to build and make great props or decorations. Had a blast putting them together.

Cutout Village is a relaxing indie city-builder about building, crafting, and a village slowly coming back to life. Set against the backdrop of rural depopulation, you’ll build and customize a small medieval-inspired village using paper sheets that you’ll cut, fold, and glue together to create buildings, services, and decorative elements.

Hi! Recently I rediscovered my old love for manga arts… but I also acquired a cutting machine, but then I wanted to have a deeper knowledge of sketchup. Oh look, cardstock!

Ok I get distracted easily 🤣

That’s the result of all the above. Drawn 3D on sketchup, texturing is in illustrator, 3D unfolding on Unfolder, cut on a Siser Juliet machine and then a LOT of time glueing.

After months of designing, redesigning, cutting, assembling, and more than a few "I'm starting over..." moments... it's finally finished.

Introducing Moonlit Valley.

This project has been one of the most ambitious paper art pieces I've ever created. Every mountain, tree, river, cloud, and layer was designed completely from scratch in Adobe Illustrator before being cut on my Cricut Maker.

Ironically, this isn't even the first version.

About a year ago, I started designing a completely different landscape. I got about halfway through before deciding I hated it, scrapped the entire thing, and my muse walked away. Eight months later she came back with fresh eyes... and then I still ended up redesigning it again.

This final version is actually Version 3.

Sometimes the hardest part of creating isn't finishing, it's knowing when to throw something away and start over.

I'm really glad I did.

PROJECT STATS (for my fellow paper nerds!)

- Weight: Approximately 1,400 grams (3.1 lbs) (Cardstock

- Main Layers: 150

- Additional Individually Applied Pieces: Over 30

- Designed Completely in: Adobe Illustrator

- Cut On: Cricut Maker

- Paper Used: Recollections 65lb Cardstock

- Frame: Michaels - 12in x12in x 2.9in depth, Top-Loading Shadow Box by Studio Decor
(with custom 3D-printed internal supports designed to hold everything securely during assembly)

TIME INVESTED

~18 hours illustrating and designing

~2 hours separating everything into 150 individual cut layers

~8 hours cutting, assembling, and adding all the individual details

Total: Approximately 28 hours of work for the final version alone (not including the earlier designs that never made it to the finish line!).

Thank you to everyone who's followed along through the progress photos, from the first few layers, to the mountain of cardstock, to wondering if I'd ever actually finish all 150 layers.

Seeing it finally framed makes every restart and every late night worth it.

Made for Ren Faire free draw. From a template, but one day I’ll make my own!

My Mum runs a small business selling ducks and hatching eggs, and asked me if I could make a paper model kit for her to sell. https://applebrookducks.com/shop/papercraft-duck

I'm also working on an easier to make but less realistic hatching duckling (the last photo)

Hi everyone! :)

I recently built these custom 3D papercraft cards.

As an illustrator, working at such a small scale with paper layers, folding, and textures was super fun!

Hope you like how the depth turned out!

I really did not want to bring this to university so I speed ran to the end. Since the work in progress post, I probably spent 25ish hours making the final parts (dress, panda, hair) and I'm guessing I spent 200 hours in total over 2.5 months. AND IT'S STILL NOT DONE because I'm missing some pieces of coral (photo at the end) but it's close enough and I'm not waiting until December to call it mission complete. The coral pieces are about as big as Miku's fingers and I distinctly remember each hand taking 3-5 hours to complete. Anyways, I'm slightly scared due to the weight distribution causing Miku to lean so I'm hoping the super glue I used on her ankle is as strong as advertised.

Some work in progress photos from the beginning:

Addressing some common questions from the last post. Yes, this is all paper. It took a very long time to make. That said, I used a template someone else made. I'm assuming ZuoZuo (creator) did this by making a 3D model of Miku and then exporting it to Pepakura, an unfolding software that allows you to break a model up into pieces for printing. This was made with Photo Matte 120 gsm paper US Letter size ($10 for 120 sheets, this model in particular is 24 sheets iirc), glue ($6), super glue ($7), set of tweezers ($5), and a scalpel (given to me, but likely costs a couple cents). Scrap paper was used as a cutting mat. So anyone can make this, provided they are willing to spend some money (printer not included) and a lot of time. Just make sure your printer can handle 120gsm because it is thicker than normal paper and has caused multiple jams during the printing process for me.

EDIT:

the super glue worked as advertised. unfortunately, the model is now warping instead of breaking. as a stopgap measure I got a ruler to be used as a splint/stabilizer but I will have to wait until thanksgiving break to give Miku an acrylic dowel rod to help her stand up. hopefully she does not die before then or else I will quite literally cry a river

My latest paperwork (Canson paper layers)

Finally finished up my howls moving castle. Giving it to my son. Such a fun and challenging build!

2020 Bmw m5 f90 done on 200gsm thick glossy paper with interior on 1:24 scale !

Anyway my final words about the car, it doesn't turn out like I expected, I know what mistakes I made on the car. So I hope I can make a perfect m5 next time, I was planning to make one more m5, idk when I do it . But I'll definitely make

it.

Also tnx to AlexeyKirzhaev for designing the car and my friend neka for designing it's interior, All patterns and tutorials has been shared on YouTube, you can search it out or dm me, I'll send that

So about the car,

The interior and the design of the car is just flawless or amazing, i don't have anything wrong to say about this car
