Rumi (KPop Demon Hunters) built papercraft



Already released the template of her here:

So now you get the assembly tips and the preview, so let’s go!

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

With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the neck, the arms, the upper torso with the pants, the legs, the boots, and the 3D sword and jacket.

If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then the simplest way is to make the braid separately (I made the 2D braid here, but you also have the full 3D version of it). When you have the whole braid done, slide the braid inside the hole in the head for the braid with glue on the flaps of the braid, to just close it like a lid and press a bit, till the glue is try. With this, the braid should hold and the head is done. You can also glue on the 2D ears on (and the hair pins if you are making the other version).

Next you can separately build the 2 hands, with either the 2D or 3D version (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 first few rows of the torso till you make the whole torso part with the belly. When you have this, glue the second stripe for the pants part on the torso and build the remaining parts of the pants just like that. Only at the end, glue on the first stripe of the pants on, so you hide the top flaps. The whole torso should now be done.  

Next step is to make the legs. You do this part by assembling the legs from bottom to top separately first. Then glue the legs inside the pants at the right angle.

Set aside again and make the 2 boots next. Grab the boots and glue them on the legs, by making sure they are at the right angle and the papercraft figure can stand. I also suggest *pro tip: adding some weights inside the boots and legs as well to make her stand nicely.

All that is left is to add the 3D sword and the jacket. With both jackets, you need to close it on the finished Rumi papercraft. Make the straight left sleeve separately and make the whole main jacket and right sleeve together, but do not close it completely (leave the last stripe of the jacket at the bottom open, so you can slide it on the figure). When you have this, slide the jacket on, close the last stripe and glue it on first, and then slide on the left sleeve and glue it on the jacket.

If you want to make it even simpler, you can make the Rumi papercraft with all the steps, but do not glue on the 2 separate arms on yet. Make the jacket first as a whole, slide it on the torso, and THEN put the arms inside the jacket sleeves at the end with glue (since the inside of the torso isn’t visible with the jacket anyway). Even simpler and easier and you got yourself an original KPop Rumi figurine!

*NOTE: The preview is only for the 2D braid version of the basic yellow jacket version. The bought template includes interchangeable:

- 2 skin options (the normal and the demon scar one),

- 2 hair options (a simpler 2D flat braid or a 3D braid),

- 2 hand options (simpler 2D or 3D),

- 2 separate jackets (the normal yellow one and the golden one),

- 2 pants with add-ons (normal and golden),

- and 2 boots (normal and golden).
