Sooo spooky, isn’t it? And now it’s time for the assembly preview as well, since I want it to have this cutie as a focal-point for Halloween! :D And some tips for the built itself are always nice, even if you got the PDO alongside all the files.

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

The papercraft can be divided into 3 separate builds: the Lantern stand, Litwicks top with the purple flame and Litwicks body. All you have to do is follow the PDO for those parts really.

The lantern is easiest made if you make it from top to bottom. Start with the roof and build it piece by piece till you come to the 4 corners. Then make the front 3 ones first and glue them on, then make the 4th one with the bottom you close up. And after that, glue the 3 inside parts of the lantern on it to make it look gorgeous. All that is left to do is to make the 3D Pokeball decoration, the 4 simple 3D legs that you glue on the bottom and the 2D bows and handles, and you are finished with that.

For the Liwick, as said, divide that into 2 parts as well, the top with the melted wax cap and the purple flame, and the separate body. For the top, make the flame first by starting from top to bottom, and then glue it on the wax top you make from bottom to top to join them. For the body, I also suggest making it from top to bottom and then close it with the last bottom part. All that is left to do is to put glue on the remaining flaps of the body part and glue the top with the flame on there at the right angle and you are done. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

The Litwick papercrafts fits inside the lantern and can stand with easy, so you can move it around all you like or use the lantern stand for other papercrafts as well.

And for the most ambitious papercrafters:

*Pro-tip: You can actually make the textured purple glass sides of the lantern see-though by cutting the purple glass parts out and actually using purple foil for those parts. It would really look original and amazing and I wanted to do it myself, but I didn’t find any fitting color for it ;/ So for now it has to remain a normal not-see-though purple lantern papercraft till I get my hands on something useful to make it work.

Hope you like the cutie and do something fun for Halloween as well. Do enjoy and happy crafting~
