Chika chibi (Kaguya-sama: Love is war) built papercraft



Another one of my built papercrafts you can see "live in action" so to say, the cute and adorable Chika-chibi from the anime Kaguya-sama: Love is War! :D 

I started this by doing her head, but in the direction from neck till scalp, since her upper head is not visible because you put the 2-sided hairpiece on at the end, so I wanted to make her face and neck really pretty and closed it where you don't see it. After I got the head I first built her hands with the petite little fingers and then the whole arms, and connected those 2 at the upper shoulder piece. After I got the shoulders with the hands, I glued the built head on and at the end made the skirt from the remaining pieces, as well as the inside piece of the black skirt. Since the papercraft model has a skirt and the legs start at her hips, as already stated, it is much easier to make such a model in 2 pieces, so you can just glue the finished feet at the end where you can't see the seeme and that's why I did it like that. 

The tricky part were the small fingers and a pro tip at the end: Since she has 1 leg in the air and you have only 1 standing leg, as well as that you can make her in 2 parts, since she has a skirt, you can fill out the standing leg with anything that works. Now since I didn't have any small stones to fill out, which I normally use, I used sand of my parrot XD and let me tell you it works super nice!!! Definetly recomend filling the crafts with sand, if you close all the holes really neatly and it can't fall out! Also it fills up all the small nooks and crannies of any form so it adds maximum weight for anything you want to weight out :D Just try it and you'll see!

Anyway, hope you like it and for those who need more info on how to get the papercraft for yourself, here it is: 


Happy crafting~
