Wanted to share one of my older papercrafts with you, that is already available for FREE download in my gallery for a long time, and actually take the time to build it. It is a design from 2016 I made, but since nobody shares actual build papercraft pictures (or very, very few), I decided to make it myself, since it's quite fast to make, so here it is.
The papercraft has only 3 pages to print, since it’s quite small and easy. I made the cat body first, starting with the ears and all around the head, then making the small paws one by one and attaching them to the body. After that, I made the 5 banana peels one by one, attaching them to the body, and lastly closing the banana end with the stem. The Bananya papercraft is build, so all that was left is the stand (that is optional), since it doesn’t stand on its own and I didn’t want to hang the guy on a string.
The stand is quite easy as well really. I started to build it from the hole outwards, since it’s the easiest, and then you just close it at the bottom. If you do it all correctly, and you don’t even need to be that accurate with this one since the angle will do the trick itself, you have yourself a stand, where the stem of the banana end fits inside and holds the cat in place. Nice and easy. And you don’t need to reinforce it at all, since again the angle is just enough to make it stand perfectly without tipping over even if you don’t have weights in the stand part.
I think it took me about 4 hours to make it, including cutting out all the pieces, so it should be a very fast built for those who are used to the tricks of gluing paper together- BUT the 5 banana peels can be quite frustrating to put together, since they are so thin, so take your time when gluing them together, and when in doubt just pre-fold the peel parts to be sure where to glue it together to fit perfectly.
I have made the basic main white Bananya character, but I have made all 7 of the main Bananya anime characters, which are basically build and look the same as this one. You can download all of the 7 different designs here:
Hope you make them, enjoy them, share the pictures of them, and most of all, happy crafting~
