I do like the Yo-kai Watch franchise and did play some games of them, so I decided to make the main 3 anime youkai as part of my »Super simple papercrafts«.
This one is called “Komasan” and a really gentle and sweet soul. And again, who doesn’t like cat-like (dog-like) characters, right? :D
The papercraft is unfolded to 22 cm height, from legs till the head, and the template consists of 8 pages to print out. The craft itself is simply made, as the name suggest. You have a main 3D easy body, with 2D 2-sided ears, that are just glued on the head, 2D eyes, a 2D tail, and his 2D purse, all just cut out and glued on like that. He also has his bag with him, where he keeps various stuff in, and that is made as a simple 3D bag with a 2D knot for his neck, and is built separately and simply glued on his back at the end, since the form fits his back like that. As you can see the legs and the 2 arms have holes at the ends of them, because it’s a simple papercraft and I didn’t want to close those off. So, it can be built from any direction you want.
As the name suggests, it is a project of really simple papercrafts I am making from time to time. Since I saw that many people are somewhat intimidated of my papercrafts and I do like to make more intricate designs and details in papercrafts, people tend to get scared of the work and difficulty. In order to show that it’s not the case and that I take an effort to make papercrafts available really for any kind of papercrafter, be it beginner, advanced or pro, I decided to address the issue and show that anybody can make papercrafts and especially designed some fun crafts that REALLY ANYBODY CAN MAKE, super simple and really fast. But most of all, fun!
These papercrafts are simple in design, have fewer pieces to cut out and assemble, they have no really small parts, are overall unfolded a bit bigger, they have more detached and “boxier” (simpler) pieces that you just cut out and glue on, and when assembled still look super sweet and awesome :)
***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***
Also note that all Yo-Kai (Simple Version) papercrafts are relative in height, so they fit together perfectly. And I also did a built version of it, so stay tuned for the update of how it looks assembled ;)
