As with all of my papercrafts, I start with the head. Face first, then the backside hair and the front bangs. Pretty simple so far. Then, I made the separate hoodie of the bear, with the ears and snout. Then again, separately made the 2 hairtails on the sides and then you have to glue these 3 parts together. This is the fiddliest part of the assembly really. You want to make it nice and sturdy, so what I did is first glued the tails on each side to the bear head, like it’s supposed to be, shown in the PDO file. Then, when the glue is dry, I put in some rolled-up curled paper bits that were left from my cut-out and jammed them neatly into the part where the tails and the bear head meet. That way, it’s super sturdy, the tails won’t break off and it holds in its place. Once that is done and also dry (since you want to put on some glue on the rolled-up paper so it really holds like a bomb), you can put in the head of Miku. Once it’s in place and inside the bear head with the tails, glue it in its place with the 2 flaps (as shown in the PDO, it’s all shown in the template, so no worries there). And you have the head done.

Now, move to make the separate paws of the hands first. The paws can both be made separately and the arms can be made separately, and gluing them together at the end, since it’s really simple to make them that way. Once you have the arms ready, then comes the second fiddly part. You have to take the head of Miku, gently flip it over and glue the 2 torso pieces on the neck part. It’s only fiddly because you have to work with the huge chibi head of Miku and turn it upside down, so you got to be careful not to use too much access force so you don’t smush it. Glue the 2 first torso parts on the neck of the head, and then glue on the 2 amrs. Once the arms are on, glue the remaining stripes of her dress with the upside down head and the fiddly parts are over.

It sounds really complicated, but once you make your own template and see that this way the head really is sturdily paced where it should be and nothing will fall off doing head first, you are gonna see it’s the correct way to go about assembling this. The only fiddly part is to really be gentle with it and glue them in place where the flaps are needed, really glue them on tight so it sits well. That’s the only thing.

Then, when you got ¾ of the craft made, all that are left are the legs. Do those by assembling the paws of the feet separately, and the 2 legs separately and then glue them together nice and easy, just like the arms. Once they are both assembled, glue them together with the bottom parts and her pants, and that’s done.

All you have to do now is glue the bottom leg part with the upper half of Miku with the head, and you got yourself a nice and cute Miku bear costume papercraft.

         

The whole papercraft probably took me about 14 hours to make. Not too hard to make, just mind the bobbly head by turning it around when assembling it on the body and make the tails sturdier from the inside with the rolled-up paper, and you’ll be fine.

   

Hope you like the little cutie, since I had to make at least 1 of my Hatsune Miku Vocaloid crafts, since I am a Vocaloid fan from the beginning, but never had time to make and of them :D At least now you get to see a chibi version made by me.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Ash and Pikachu (Pokemon) built papercraft

Ash and Pikachu (Pokemon) built papercraft

Since the new Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl have come out over a week ago, I thought I would post another Pokemon papercraft I also got in store. This time it's my Ash & Pikachu papercraft pair that I have designed some time ago and now finally had time to assemble.

        

As with all of my papercraft, I start at the head. I made the face and neck part first and made the hair at the back. The hair parts are mostly made out of 4 or 5-sided pyramid shapes, so these should be the only things pre-bent in the papercraft in order for it to look good. And at the end, where you close the head at the uppermost part of the head, you can leave it open, because the cap goes on separately and the hole at the end is not visible at all. If you have problems assembling these somewhat tricky pieces, I do suggest to leave it oepn at the end, so you have maneuvering space to glue the pieces together in a more simple way. And after you made the head, you can assemble the separate hat and the 2D ears as well.

Next, move to the hands and make the fiddly fingers. After both hands are done, assemble the arms around it. When you have the whole 2 hands, move to the making of the torso. First, make the white T-shitr around the already assembled neck and head, and when you have the whole T-shirt with the sleeves, simple put glue on the flaps of both arms and glue them on the right spot, under the right angle, as is shown in the included PDO. Nice and easy without a big fuss on how the arms should be attached inside the sleeves. And after you got the whole torso attached with the arms and head, you can make the sleevless blue jacket. You can pre-assemble it halfway, making sure you leave 1 side out of the 2 open, so you can put the 1 pre-assembled side around the arm, and glue the other side on the torso, so you can put it on neatly. After that is done, you can make the separate backpack, also gluing the last strap at the back on the torso, so it fits on tight.

When this is done, you can start making the 2 shoes, and up to the legs and the whole underbody part, since this can be made separately as well, and put in smaller weights inside them when you are done, so it stands nicely (I always put in small pebbles that can fit in the small iner holes and parts of the papercraft, and have still a big enouhg weight to make it stand firmly). After the leg part is done (put in the legs the same way you did with the arms) and you got the weights in, put glue on the flaps of the pants and simply put it inside the T-shirt part of the torso you already made, adjusting the angle and position the same way you did with the arms. Nice and simple, and Ash is done.

All that is left now is to make the separate Pikachu. Simply follow the PDO instructions and build it best from ears to bottom. The only fiddly part are the smaller legs of his in the back, which you should glue on lastly to close it. But before closing, make sure to glue a small portion of the 2D 2-sided tail on the inside (by making a small incision where you want it), so the tail can be moved at the end and that it looks original. And there you go. You can choose to glue the Pikachu on Ash, since he does tend to fall off his arm if it's not in the right position, but I chose to leave it on like that, since I love my small 10cm Pikachu so much and I got it displayed at my working table, hanging from my laptop and looking at what I am doing XD -don't judge me, I love Pikachu-

                

All in all the Papercraft has 2 fiddly parts, which are the spiky hair parts of Ash that need to be pre-bent as shown in the instructions provided, and the smaller feet of Pikachu. Everything else is pretty straightforward if you made 1 or 2 humanoid-papercrafts. They mostly follow the same pattern. And you always have the PDO to look at the parts and the edge ID PDF that I provide with the purchase as well. Should be do-able for anybody liking Pokemon papercrafts really.
