Whisper: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) papercraft

 

I do like the Yo-kai Watch franchise and did play some games of them, so I decided to make the main 3 anime youkai as part of my »Super simple papercrafts«.

This one is called “Whisper” and is a ghost youkai that we first meet at the beginning of the anime. He knows everything about youkai, but only when he looks it up on his youkai tablet XD he is kinda annoying, but cute in his own way.

The papercraft is unfolded to 22 cm height, from bottom till the tip of his head, and the template consists of 4 pages to print out. The craft itself is simply made, as the name suggest. You have a main 3D easy body, with 2D 2-sided eyes and arms, that are just glued on at the end. It may look a bit hard to make, because of the curved tips at both ends, but it’s really NOT ;D He also stands on the bottom of his ghost tail, since I designed it flat and the center of gravity makes him stand with no problem.

As the name suggests, it is a project of really simple papercrafts I am making from time to time. Since I saw that many people are somewhat intimidated of my papercrafts and I do like to make more intricate designs and details in papercrafts, people tend to get scared of the work and difficulty. In order to show that it’s not the case and that I take an effort to make papercrafts available really for any kind of papercrafter, be it beginner, advanced or pro, I decided to address the issue and show that anybody can make papercrafts and especially designed some fun crafts that REALLY ANYBODY CAN MAKE, super simple and really fast. But most of all, fun!

These papercrafts are simple in design, have fewer pieces to cut out and assemble, they have no really small parts, are overall unfolded a bit bigger, they have more detached and “boxier” (simpler) pieces that you just cut out and glue on, and when assembled still look super sweet and awesome :)

Also note that all Yo-Kai (Simple Version) papercrafts are relative in height, so they fit together perfectly. And I also did a built version of it, so stay tuned for the update of how it looks assembled :)

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



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

The template and info can be found here:


Komasan 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 bent arms, glue them one by one on the upper torso part piece by piece and continue till you reach the bottom. Close it with the feet, since they are open at the bottom, which allows you to really firmly glue the flaps on like they are supposed to be.

All you have to do now is glue the remaining separate parts on. I made the 3D backpack next, making sure to close it at the edges, because it’s simpler that way. And once it is built, simply glue it with the edges on the back of Komasan. It has the same shape as the back, so it should fit on perfectly. Then you have the 2D 2-sided flame eyebrows, how green bow, the 2D eyes, the 2D tail and his 2D purse, which you can glue on in any position you would like, and he is done.

Since he has the green backpack on his back, this allows him to actually stand in balance, so if built correctly, you can see from the pictures that he stands on his 2 feet without any help or weights.

I hope you like it and if you got any questions or comments, just write bellow and else enjoy~
