And now it’s time to assemble her 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 hair, the 2 hands, the white pullover with the sleeves, the skirt, the legs, and the separate backpack.
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.
Next you can separately build the 2 hands, with either the 2D or 3D versions (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, start gluing on the white pullover at the neck, and when you come to the sleeve parts, glue those on. When you have the whole pullover with the sleeves done, only then press the pre-made hands inside to glue them on the right angle. And the torso is done.
Next, you make the skirt part. The only part that needs pre-bending is the last skirt part, so put those folds in there to make it look nice a frilly and then glue the skirt together with the inner torso part.
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 shoes first glue the leg from there upwards till you come to 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).
All that is left is to do is to glue the backpack together like you would a simple box shape and glue all of these parts on.
Glue the skirt inside the torso first and then glue on the legs part inside the skirt, making sure to glue them at the right angle, so the figure can stand nicely. Glue on the backpack with the black strap at the right angle as well: And it's finished!
