I already showed the “Avocado pair” papercraft template and promised to build it as well, so here is the preview and some tips for the assembly :)
The assembly is actually pretty straightforward. You have 5 different faces to choose for each half od the avocado, so when you choose the one you wanted, start with that.
Each of the halves has either the hole or the seed to make first on the front part, so start with that, making sure it's neatly done. Start at the upper part, glue each piece on the face part (on the back side paper of the face part), and at the end close it with the final piece. The hardest part of the assembly is this, so take your time and take it slow ;)
After this, it is actually best to glue each back part of the green peel on the front face part, piece by piece (and not to make the back green peel part first and then glue on the whole face, although it may look easier), because if you do it piece by piece and gluing it on the face part you get a much smoother and accurate assembly with no white edges sticking out or anything like that. So just do it piece by piece, making sure to glue it neatly on and at the end close it with the bottom flat part.
And at the end all that is left to do are the 2-sided 2D hands that are glued on any position you would like. As a tip, you can glue one pair of the hands on one end, and then make sure to glue the other pair for the second one a bit higher or a bit lower – that way the hands intelock when you put them together as a whole avocado and it looks like they are hugging :)
The papercraft template I posted can be found here (in case you need to see how the template looks like)
***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***
And as promised to my Patreon supporters and followers, the template is free for them and can be downloaded here:
Hope you have fun with it and happy crafting~
