And now it’s time to assemble this cutie and give you some pro-tips on how to make life simpler for yourself when doing these. Let’s go.

**********************************************************

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the ears and hair, the coat, the 2 arms with the while sleeves, the cape, the upper torso, the legs, her 3D bag and the 2D halo.

If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair, pre-build the 2 ears first and glue them on the front hair, and lastly close it with the back hair. After this, you can glue on the 2D head parts.

Next you can separately build the 2 arms, with either the 2D or 3D hands (note that I did the preview pics with the 2D version of the hands). When you got those, set them aside and start gluing together the 2 white sleeves and glue those together. When you have all these parts, glue together the whole coat part, and only then press the pre-made hands inside to glue them on the right angle. Once done, glue in the 2 arms at the right angle. And that’s done.

Next, you make the first 3 parts of the upper torso, and glue in the head you did before and make your way all down the torso and then glue on the dress as well. Once this is done, you can simply put glue on the remaining flaps of the torso, where the arms should be, and glue on the pre-made coat on there. And after this, you can then also glue on the blue scarf and close it by gluing it together in the back. Add the 2D items on here as well.

Next step is to make the legs. You do this part by assembling the legs from bottom to top and finish with the buttocks part. This means, build the whole sneakers first and leave the bottom sole part off for now. Next, build the first 3 parts of the legs, place them inside the sneakers and glue those 2 together like that. After the glue sets, close the sneaker soles, build the remaining legs and the butt.

And before anything, fill up the legs with some weights here, to make her really stand firmly (*Pro-tip: I always suggest smaller pebbles, since they are small enough to fit and heavy enough to help with the weight as well, without rupturing the paper itself). And when you have this part done, glue the legs on the dress.

All that is left is to is her simple bag and the halo. You can glue or just place the bag around her shoulder and it’s done. And you can either glue on the halo at the back of her head, or, like me, glue it on some wire and make it “float”. Done and done.

Posted my Marcille papercraft template preview already that you can view here:

So now you can see her assembly and how cute she looks in real as well.

*As with any of my papercraft templates, the blank PDO is always included in these files, so you help yourself with the 3D preview in Pepakura to assemble it, but I like to post a bit of experience I have with building papercrafts to maybe make things easier for less experienced papercrafters and share ideas on how to make it simpler :)

**********************************************************

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

As with all of these humanoid papercrafts, it can be divided into smaller separate parts you can built and then put together, to make it easier to assemble. So, you can divide the Marcille craft into: the head with the neck and hair, the torso with the sleeves and dress, the hands and the legs. 

As with all of my papercrafts, I always start with the head. Build the face and the head around + the neck and then glue the front hair bangs on the face part. After, build the the 2 3D hair tails first and glue those on the head, and then the whole back part of the hair . All that is left to do is to glue the mics (2D braids, ears, hair decoration on).

When you finish the whole head, it’s time to start the torso. The neck has a cape around as well, so start with that and build it half-way, so don’t close them at the back, so you are able to slide them on the neck at the end. 

Put the parts aside, and assemble the first upper part of the torso to about half of the breasts. Then glue on the upper sleeves on there (which you also build separately), and then slide in the folds of the heads neck part, so you are able to glue it in nicely and additionally reinforce it with rolled-up leftover paper from the cut-out, to make it sturdier and really holding it together. Once the neck is glued on the torso part, slide the cape on there, glue the back parts together and build the remaining parts of the torso and then the remaining dress bottom part on there. 

Now you can start assembling the 2 hands separately. Once done, you can simply glue the hands inside the sleeves. Since the parts have flaps and can just be glued on like that, you can make it really easy to assemble that way AND you can adjust the angle of how the arms are, so you really get it right. And when the glue dries really good on there, you can glue on the optional spoon and bowl.

Now, the leg part. Start at the bottom and make your way up. And once you have the legs, you can glue them by sliding them inside the dress part and make her sit nicely. 

Since she has a sitting pose, she won’t fall over no matter what. You can put her on the crate you make or simply sit her on a shelf or box to display her in your room.

As for the optional 3D various items, they are easy enough to make, just be sure to *pro-tip: first build the whole pot and bowl and only AFTER these, glue the soup part inside, to make it easy to assemble. For the staff, you can put inside a round popsicle stick and cut it at the right length to additionally reinforce it. And the 2D soup ingredients are just glued on however you like it to look.
