Jibanyan: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) built papercraft

Here is my built version of Jibanyan, the 2. JIbanyan I made for the “Super simple papercraft” project, meaning that it is easy to assemble and fast as well.

Jibanyan is about 22 cm tall, so it’s a nice height to glue it together and display anywhere in your room.

Since I make all of my papercrafts the same way, I also made this from top to bottom. So the first thing I made was the ears. These are actually separate and 2-sided, so you make them first and then start assembling the head. After you got half of the head done, I suggest to glue the ears on then, because you got a nice and big hole at the bottom of the head to help yourself to really firmly attach/glue them on like that. And after they sit on the right position, you make the rest of the head. After the head comes the neck part, and then I decided to make the arms first.

After you have both arms, glue them one by one on the upper torso part piece by piece and continue till you reach the bottom. Last 3 pieces of the bottom and with the feet still to build, I made the tail, which I also suggest you attach before you close the craft, since it’s easier to glue and tape it on.

Since the tail is 2-sided, use my wire trick and glue wire inside both parts of the tail, so it can stand firmly, and with the end part sticking out of the wire, glue that with an incision on the backside of the body and tape it on the inside. That way the tail will stand and you can actually move it.

After you got the tail, it can be a bit fiddly to move around with, so just turn it ousidedown and glue the remaning end parts and the legs on like that. And since the legs also have holes in them, it’s easy to close since you have an open part that can help you to really firmly glue the flaps on like they are suppose to be. All you have to do now is glue the remaining part of his bell on the neck, and his eyes, and it’s done.

Since you have the tail at the back, it is also used as a kind of 3. leg, so it should stand with the help of the tail, which is at a low position, so it touches the ground where the feet are. If you do not wish to use the tail, you can tuck the legs with the holes on a stand or anywhere you want, or you put some weights in them that lets it stand, but the basic idea for the cat to stand is with the help of the tail really.
