Chihuahua Papercraft

| Posted by watashii | Filed under Papercrafting

Pepakura (ぺぱくら), or Papercrafting is a method of crafting 3D models using paper, similar to Origami (おりがみ). It is different to Origami because the model is made from pieces of cut-out card paper and glued together. Papercrafting is popular in Japan, and the Internet has made it even popular because the model templates can easily be downloaded and printed out on any printer. Think of it as a way to express 3D artwork over the Internet.

So i downloaded a template and tried making my first Chihuahua papercraft. It turn out it was very easy to make. It can be done using materials that everyone has, and i dont have to spend much (20 cents) to make a cool art decoration. The instructions were simple, very hands-on, very time-wasting and the outcome was satifying!!
