And now it’s time to give you some pro-tips on how to make life simpler when building her yourself. Let’s go.
**********************************************************
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the hair, the 2 arms, the upper torso with the white dress, the butt with the legs and the shoes, the pointy hat and the cape.
If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair, and lastly close it with the back hair. After this, you can glue on the 2D ears and the optional head lid (which I didn't use in the preview pics btw.).
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 upper torso. When you have the upper torso, glue the sleeves inside the holes where the arms go and make the rest of the dress.
Set this aside again and make the butt with the legs and shoes. You do this part by assembling the legs from bottom to top and finish with the buttocks part. This means, build the shoes first, glue the leg from there upwards till you come to the butt. If you want her to stand nicely, *pro tip: best put some weights inside the legs before gluing it together (I always use small pebbles I throw inside the legs before I close the whole craft).
What you do now is glue together these parts with the flaps that are left on the belt part of the buttocks. Glue those inside the dress, making sure to glue them at the right angle, so the figure can stand comfortably.
Now that you have the base Coco papercraft, you can also make the hat and cape on it. If you want to glue the cape on, leave the head with the neck part for the end, and only assemble together the torso with the arms and dress, and then the legs. When you have the body, glue on the pre-made cape on her shoulders with glue inside the shoulders and press it down. Once the cape is glued on, press and rotate the neck inside the cape neck part with glue on the flaps, at the right angle and let it dry. The flaps won’t be visible from the inside of the cape and it’s easiest that way. At the end, you can add on the pointy hat and glue it on to finish it.
*Note: The papercraft preview is made with 2D hands. The files for printing-out have both the 2D and 3D hand versions, so you can choose which ones to make.
