Ladybug (Miraculous Ladybug) papercraft



Need to make at least SOME cartoon papercrafts, since I am mostly doing anime, for all the fans out there.

I really try to make a wide variety of crafts for everybody to enjoy, and while they are mostly things I play/watch myself, sometimes the requests are a bit different and I like to do those at least once in a while. 

So, here we have the amazing “Miraculous Ladybug” Ladybug for all the fans of the cartoon and the games!

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

The papercraft is unfolded to 16 cm and has 3 pages to print. It consists of a 3D model of Ladybug, optional 2D and 3D hands, and a simple 3D compact in her hands.

I wanted to go really wild with this, and make a really superhero dynamic pose with her. I think she looks pretty cool like that (: The left sole and part of the right sole and left-hand fingers are touching the ground, but since it is rather butt-heavy at the back, I do suggest putting in some weights inside the legs when you make her, so she doesn’t tilt over. The limbs are very slim, so it is somewhat harder to assemble as well.

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

*** This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDFs and blank, locked PDO file for assembly. – You can buy and download the template here:

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

I will try to make more dynamic and interesting poses; even after so many years of papercrafts/designing, you can always take in new things and you never stop learning with anything you do, no matter how good you think you are at it!

And while I am very happy and content with the current level I am working on with my 3D modeling and texturing, I am the first to admit that I could be doing even better, so I am always pushing myself to make new things and get better and better. The stars are the limit people!

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Origin ball (Pokemon) built papercraft


Already posted my Origin ball Pokemon Poke ball box papercraft template:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Origin-ball-Pokemon-papercraft-1140603514

And now it’s time to give you some tips on how to assemble one yourself.

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

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

Since it is meant to be a simple box, the papercraft is separated in the upper and under part of the Poke ball, as well as the stand.

Both parts of the Poke ball are best made from top to bottom. Meaning you start by making the outer red shell of the ball first, and only then gluing on the middle edge part with the round buttons.

The buttons in the middle as well as the top are 3D, so best way for those is that you do those separately and glue them inside by wedging them inside the hole at the top or gluing them on the surface in the middle button.

The stand is also a simple form, that is best done by starting in the middle part, gluing on the edges, and lasty closing it at the bottom with the flat part.

And there you go. If you build it correctly, you have yourself a Poke ball box that can be opened and closed and used as a simple storage for smaller candy or something else that is lighter.

If you want to make it really sturdy however *pro-tip: You can enforce the inner part of both halves with simple wood glue and some tissues or toilet paper. - Mix 2/3 wood glue with 1/3 of water and use a brush to apply in on the inner surface of the ball (making sure not to make it too wet or too thick, so it doesn’t start to drip on the outer side of the box). Once the surface is still wet, apply ripped parts of the tissue on the glue, brush it over with the brush and glue, and do this on the whole inner surface. Once it is dry, it becomes as hard as plastic and you can use it as any normal storage box.

Happy Birthday Antyyy's Papercrafts 2025


Well, 25th August, so here we are again. Happy Birthday to me. Another year round and another year Antyyy's Papercrafts has been in business all this time :)

 *Have you already contacted your local legislator to suggest having this day made into an official papercraft public holiday in YOUR country? :D

 As I always say, thank you for everybody taking the time to support my work the right way. Meaning supporting my posts with nice comments, interactions, sharing posts or pictures of the assemblies you make AND crediting them, buying (and not supporting any kind of illegal copies of) my templates in my Ko-fi shop and overall respecting the work I put into them.

Papercrafting can be quite a handful, especially if you are putting effort into making them look really nice and be buildable at the same time. My hand-drawn and self-made 3D models of papercrafts always take a lot of time to finish, so every true supporter that shows their love is much appreciated, you don’t even know how much.

The papercraft community in the last few years is sadly still getting more toxic by the day and there are a lot of rude individuals not giving a damn about true craftmanship and sharing, ripping, stealing, editing or re-selling what is not theirs to do. - So again, as my only birthday wish this year, please, actually support your chosen few papercraft designers that are still left in the community and contribute to making their work count. Do not support illegal trades or re-sales, because you never know what illegal sale or trade will be the last tipping point for the artists deciding to not share any new papercrafts in the future, so don’t partake in any of it. Buy from the direct source, credit their work and link to their pages, and of course, try to leave supportive and encouraging comments and reviews of their crafts, because you don’t understand how much that means to us all.

Again, the only way you get my papercrafts are from my accounts and my accounts only. Either on DeviantArt or Facebook (or various other official Antyyy’s papercrafts sites). This is a list of all pages (and only these pages) that are the real deal and are managed by me and that you can contact me for a purchase, question, or anything else related to my papercraft designs:

Thank you for those actually supporting any papercraft designer out there the only right way there is and showing your love. Enjoy my special day by making a nice papercraft or 2 for yourselves, and happy crafting~

Antyyy's Papercrafts - SCAMMERS AND RE-SELLERS



Whoever is a part of the papercraft community for a longer time finds herself or himself looking for pages where to download templates that we want to assemble. And when doing so, we find a lot of fake/pirate/scam pages that sell stolen papercraft templates from other designers that put a lot of work into their art. Some even posing as the designer of the template themselves. Most of these pages offer papercrafts for sale that have been shared FOR FREE, and re-sell them for profit and their own gain by ripping people off. So, beware and read this well.

**************
Antyyy’s papercrafts is a one-woman business and will stay a one-woman business, no matter how much work I have. I do everything alone, from modeling, to texturing, ripping and SELLING.

Antyyy’s papercrafts does not permit any third-party selling not will it ever be permitted. Those selling papercrafts under another name in the name of “Antyyy’s papercrafts” are frauds and sell crafts which I already released FOR FREE.

*********

The only way you get my papercrafts are from my accounts and my accounts only. Either on Deviantart or Facebook (or various other official Antyyy’s papercrafts sites). This is a list of all pages (and only these pages) that are the real deal and are managed by me and that you can contact me for a purchase, question, or anything else related to my papercraft designs:

All other pages selling or sharing my papercraft designs are a frauds and have stolen files, for which I do not vouch even being the same quality papercrafts I make, share or sell (if they even send any papercraft files at all, because some also don’t send any files or links, send viruses, etc.).

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

If you have been affected by these, I am truly sorry, but some people just don’t get the drift about other people’s intellectual property. I wish I could do something about this. It’s individuals like this that undermine my credibility as a papercraft designer and I will not stand for this. So, I am writing this because together we, as a community, are strong and can stop these scams when they happen.

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

 Following pages have already been reported to have stolen and freely available papercrafts (not only from me) that they are re-selling for money and I will NEVER SUPPORT such sites or post my own work on these! So, if you see any stolen templates on there, REPORT THEM AS WELL:

 paper . tv

 shopee . vn

 taobao . com

pan.baidu . com

alipexpress . com

paperzoneVN . com

etc.

All of the scamming sites mentioned above have my FREE papercrafts that I have already shared and that are freely available to download on my sites anytime. Every papercraft listed here can be freely downloaded without any account or anything:

https://www.patreon.com/c/antyyyspapercrafts

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

Support the designers you like! Support them by visiting their official pages they share themselves, interact with them (since a nice word, a compliment or a comment, means more to us than you’ll ever know), assemble our works, and if you really like them and want to continue to support their work and see more of them (not only papercraft-related artists, but everything in general), buy their work they are selling from their pages alone.

Papercrafts are a super cheap alternative compared to anything else related to anime figurines and the likes of them, and are more hard work to do the right way than even modeling or animation (but are not nearly as much appreciated). They are not self-evident and the work put into them should be respected the way their designers wish.

So, support the small community of papercrafters the right way and enable your favorites to continue their work by doing the right choices as well.

Thanks for your time reading this and I hope people share these thoughts on other sites as well!

Happy crafting~
