Another one for the built gallery, and this time it’s not anime XD Some time ago the 1. Episode of “Hazbin Hotel” and “Helluva Boss” have come out and people, including me, went crazy, coz the cartoon is so amazing and adult and different (and I really hope a whole season will come out for this soon…). And in any case, since I loved it so much, I made the main character, Charlie, as a papercraft and here she is now.
The whole papercraft is unfolded to 25 cm so she was REALLY HARD TO DO XD I admit I made this one too small, since the fingers were so petite and small that they look like toothpicks now that they are made XD Good thing that when you buy the papercraft template for me, you can always ask me to re-size the papercraft if it’s too small or too big, so keep that in mind for this one (that’s why I always say if there is a problem or questions, you can always contact me for info or help anytime). It really has small parts. Especially since she is so slender, it’s quite the workout to make, so I would say a 9/10 on a difficulty scale.
I started making her like any papercraft, at the head. Made the face and then the front hair. After I had the front hair, I glued those flaps on the assembled face and then made all of the hair in the back. She has a open tail at the end of the hair, so you can close the head there really.
Ultra pro tip 1: Be careful when putting together the hair at the back, because 4 stripes of hair have flaps on both sides. Those need to be glued together, and then you glue the 2-sided hair braids on each side at the end. You can see what I mean when you look how the hair is made.
After the head was done, I made the really super small fiddly fingers and hands. Since 1 part of the hand is glued on the inside of the pink coat, you can glue those hands on last, so that’s a big help for assembling it easier.
After that, I made the coat and glue it on carefully on the neck part. Again, since she is very thin, I do suggest to reinforce the inside of the neck with additional paper so it doesn’t break. Also, the coat has that black neck part, so that is 2-sided and is glued on the coat BEFORE you glue on the neck with the button parts. So, make the head with the neck and button part first, then the coat with the black neck, and THEN glue those together. That way it fits perfectly and you can adjust the angle of the head the right way.
Then the only thing left is to make the legs. Since the feet and legs can be built and glued separately, I suggest you do it like that. I made the feet first, bottom to top, and then the legs, bottom to top. At the end, glue the feet on the inner side of the legs and you have the bottom part really.
Now comes the fun part. I actually didn’t think that the papercraft would stand, but it actually does, and pretty good really. It can stand without any help, but I did fill the legs with small pebbles at the end, before gluing the 2 parts together, because it makes it sturdier and she will never fall over that way (Ultra pro tip 2: Use pebbles or gravel as weights in your papercrafts, since they are small enough to fit in every inner part and at the same time heavy enough to support any craft. When using them be sure to close the parts as tightly as possible and make sure that it is firmly glued together, so that the weight won’t re-open those parts.)
When you fill the bottom part with weights, glue both parts together, and be sure to adjust the angle again, so it will stand the way it should. And there she is, sexy super skinny Charlie from Hazbin Hotel :)

Happy crafting~
