Bunigiri (Pokemon/Fakemon) built papercraft


Showed you the template of the Bunigiri Pokemon/Fakemon I made a while back:

And now I can also show you the assembled monster in all its cuteness! Behold, the fluffy snowbunny! :)

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

Generally, you can divide the papercraft into 2 parts, the 3D body part and the 2D, 2-sided parts, such as the ears, the berries, arms and tail.

The body is best build from top to bottom, since I do put the flaps in that logic. Build the main body and then build the 2 legs first and glue those on pre-assembled and close with the bottom part with no flaps. A bit fiddly, but you can easily make this with some handy tweezers.

And when you build the 3D body, you get to the 2D parts. Tips for these:

1.       Glue the 2 ears on a wire, since it will be easier to attach them if you make 2 small holes in the head and glue them on like that, since I didn’t and it doesn’t hold that well. Note that if you do use wire, you need to glue them on the inner side with some tape and do that BEFORE you close the 3D body.

2.       The 2D tail can be attached the same way as the ears, with wire, but it definitely needs to be glued on the bottom part so it can be used as additional weight to make the bunny stand (if you don’t put weights inside the legs – if you do put the weights inside before closing, you can glue on the tail wherever you want).

And there you go, a nice little Bunnigiri all for yourself to make :3

Totoro papercraft


In the anime community there are a few gems that shape the community throughout the years, but probably none that reach up the ranks of Hayao Miyazaki’s “Tonari no Totoro (aka My neighbor Totoro)”. The anime is legendary even amongst studio Ghibli fans and while reviewing some figurines I have myself of Totoro, I decided to do a tribute diorama papercraft to show my love for the giant, furry cat-god creature.

:bulletblue: :bulletblue: :bulletblue: :bulletblue: :bulletblue: 

The papercraft is unfolded to 22 cm and has 9 pages to print. It consists of a 3D Totoro, a 3D white mini Totoro, the optional 3D stand and a lot of 2D add-ons, such as the leaves on their heads, the grass and the bus stop sign. For the grass on the stand you also have an optional 2-sided page you can print it on, so the diorama stand looks nice and green from both sides.

The small Totoro is a bit fiddlier to make, so are the hands/paws and the ears of the big Totoro, but overall, a nice and easy papercraft to make.

I hope you love Totoro as much as I do and you give the papercraft a try as well. Go watch or re-watch some of the old anime movies you love, sometimes it can be so nice and relaxing, definitely recommend any of the Ghibli movies for that :)

Enjoy and happy crafting~
