It's advent time people, since it's December as of yesterday :D well at least the chocolate advent thingys can get slowly eaten now, since I love them so much :D I always buy myself one every year to get hyped for Christmas....... ANYWAY, since it's the beginning of a new month, I decided to start it with some of my new built papercrafts, that you maybe seen in the preview for my "Antyyy's Papercraft borthday celebration thing", or maybe you didn't :D No matter what, I wanted to finally release those too, so here you are, one of the cutest cartoons I have watched this year, my very own "Hilda & Twig" built papercraft from the books, comics and lastly Netflix series "Hilda"!
The papercraft template consists of 2 different crafts, so I decided to make Hilda first, since she is a bit trickyer to make, with all of the fingers, and the slender legs etc. I made her black beret hat first, since it's just a 3D accessory, which is then just pun or her (or you can glue it on her head if you want). I then proceeeded to make her 3D hair and then the head to her neck part. Then I added the 2D 2-sided hair parts for a better view of it all. Next I made her small fingers (which are still btw easier to make than most humanoid papercrafts, since they are just blocks to put thogether) and made my way to make her upper torso and her dress. After I had this, I put together the head part and the torso part. And at the end of that, I glued and built the yellow scarf around her neck, since you can't put it on in any other phase of the built. You can make your life simple, by building the 2 horizontal parts of the scarf together, and just at the last step, when you have to glue it together vertically so it holds, you put it around the neck and glue it on Hilda herself. And after that you put the 2D 2-sided scarf part that is hanging from the scarf neck part on, so it looks nice and smooth :)
Then, as I said many times in my papercraft builds, since she has a dress and it is 2-sided, you can make the feet sepparate and just glue them on last at the hips, to make the build nice and simple, and that's just what I did here. I built the leg part sepparately, and filled the big red boots of hers with sand (which I always like to use in crafts, since it's so handy to use for me and fills out the whole inside part in a jiffy, so you should try it to if you have a craft that you need to fill out so it can stand better). After I got the leg part done, I just glued it together with the upper part of her already built body, at her hips, and tadaa, she was finished and standing like she should :D
Next, I made Twig, since they are a double package deal. So I made him from top to bottom, which I always prefer to do, since closing at the bottom or back parts it always more handy, since you normally don't see it when you put a papercraft to be displayed somewhere, so it's the best sollution for it, just in case you jack-up a line or 2 XD you never know. Anway, I made the ears and then connected them to the snout and the rest of the head. After I had the head, I glued the 2-sided 2D antlers on the head (I made 2 small incisions with a exacto knife, where I wanted the antlers to be, so I could put a small portion of them in the holes and flip them over from the inside, so I could glue them on the head from the inside - it looks way better and you don't have the folded line of the anters showing out of the surface, which makes it more neat and pretty to look at). After I made all 4 legs of his separately, I slowly connected one after another on the head and torso, first the front legs, then the back legs. After I almost had the torso part with the head finished, I made the tail (I never close crafts at the tail part, since in my experinece it never looks good, so I always close a craft at the bottom, if I can). After I made the tail, I had to glue that on the torso of the deerfox, which is also a bit fiddly, since it's smaller than Hilda. And aftert that was done, all that was left to do was to glue the bottom part at the tail together, and it was finished.
Of course, I was so brave and wise to not fill the deerfox with sand, like I did with Hilda, because I was 100% sure it would be able to stand on 3 legs. BUT I WAS WRONG XD So I try to fill in the 3 standing legs of the craft yourself, because he tipps over at the front part, since the head is so big. So I had to put a small rock under his lifted hoove for it to stand, but it still looks original and cute XD
