The papercraft is about 23 cm tall, so it’s really relaxing and easy to make. I designed is really simple, since I wanted clean surfaces for the skeleton texture to show, so all parts are easy to make, the only “fiddly” part can be the feet since they have the smallest parts to assemble. I would give this papercraft a 5/10. It also took me about 5-6 hours to make, including cutting out pieces.

I started by making the 2 ears and hands separately and after I had those, I built the top part of the head to glue on the ears. After that you just follow down to the torso, gluing each stripe one by one on the body, and when you get to the torso, glue the arms on as well. I continued to assemble it, till I got to the last 3 pieces that you close at the bottom and the feet, since there is where you glue in the 2D tail first.

As always, as already told several times with my tips and tricks, I glued a wire inside the 2 parts of the tail, since it can be moved and it stands well that way. I glued the wire inside, and made sure that 1/3 of the wire stands out, so that part in glued on the inner side of the body. I did this by making a small incision on the back part of the body and put the tail through it, and after gluing the wire with tape on the inside. That way you got a sturdy, movable tail that is really cool looking and functional. It sounds harder than it is to make, you can see from the pictures how it goes in so you can try it for yourself :)

After the tail is on, all you have to do it close the craft on the bottom end with the feet (which is how I always do my papercraft, from top to bottom, since I find it easier and you can hide any imperfections at the bottom, where you can’t see it. I glued the 2 remaining parts and glued on the first foot, and closed it with the last 3. stripe of the bottom. Then I made the second foot in the hole, and close it at the bottom of the foots sole. And there you go, a complete and assembled skeleton Pikachu papercraft.

I hope you like it, if you got any questions or feedback, those are always welcome and you can write them in the comments on contact me per note.

Happy crafting everybody~
