Since I released the pattern and love the character so much, I also assembled here myself. So here are the basic instructions and tips I can give.
As with all my crafts, I always start with the head. Built the face first (with the neck) and then make your way to the back of the head. And once you get to the back, you’ll see that it’s open there, which makes a great help for gluing the last longer hairs on there, without the hole being even visible at the end (since it’s covered up with the long green hair of hers). The head is sturdy and doesn’t have any problems standing even with the hole, so no worries there, it’s just to make the template easy-peasy to assemble. And after that, all there is left are the 2 2D 2-sided ears you glue on the right sports and the head done.
Moving on, I made the 2 arms separately first. No real problems here, just assemble it following the edge ID and logic, and once both of them are made, glue on the 2D 2-sided straps on the 6 edges of the arms.
When the arms are done, built the first half of the torso with the collar. When you got that, glue the arms on the body and then slide the neck part (of the built head) inside the hole and glue it up from the inside. Let that part dry good, and when it does, use curled-up waste paper to bulk up that tiny neck of hers to prevent it from snapping (it’s a chibi papercraft, so the necks are always the most difficult part, since they are so small and the head disproportionately big).
After that, built the remaining torso part and then move on to the legs. Build them all the way to the end of the pants with those bell-shaped ends. – Pro tip: since we are dealing with a chibi papercraft, always be sure to reinforce and straighten the parts that are most vulnerable, like we did with the neck. - And since after you attach the head on the jacket, it becomes difficult to build it with the head facing upwards, so turn the papercraft upside-down and built the remaining parts till the last like that. That way the head will not weight down the body and you’ll have a simpler assembly.
All that is left is to make the last parts of the legs, which are the boots. Since we have those bell-shaped ends of the trousers, you can divide the assembly process to make it easier and so that you can fill in those legs at the end to make it stand sturdier. Build the separate boots and before gluing them on the trousers, you can fill them with weights (I always use small pebbles, since they fit inside every small hole and are heavy enough to make it stand. Of course, you don’t need to add weights in, you can do that just as a precaution, since the papercraft stands without help as well).
Glue both boots at the same time, applying glue on the end flaps of the boots, and showing them inside the bell-bottom trousers, adjusting the right angle to make the whole papercraft stand. And after this dries, apply the last 2D 2-sided belts on, and the papercraft is finished.
There she is, a cute little 21 cm tall CC all for yourself to have :)
