Sebastian (Kuroshitsuji - Black Butler) papercraft

Sebastian (Kuroshitsuji - Black Butler) papercraft

People. It has been too long. To damn freaking long, I know. I mean, who doesn't know the legendary anime »Kuroshitsuji« or »Black Butler«. You got quite some papercrafts to choose of Ciel out there, but the true main character of the anime, »Sebastian Michaelis« the black demon butler from hell, where is a craft of him?!??! I didn't see any being made all this time the anime came out. SO, IT IS TIME TO CHANGE THAT! May I present to you, finally, my own papercraft made of Sebastian. It’s never too late people XD

The papercraft itself is made by me, of course, 3D model, pose and texture (as always, 100% made by ME). It is unfolded to 30 cm height, since I wanted Sebastian to be really big and the center piece for anybody assembling him. The template consists of 7 pages to print out.

All in all, it’s a rather complicated papercraft to assemble, a lot of smaller pieces for the hands and the hair, so definitely nothing for beginners to make, and nobody that isn’t confident in their papercraft assembly skills.

The kuroshitsuji papercraft is made out of a joined 3D model of Sebastian, with the end part of the hair having a hole in it (in the head), for simpler assembly and to simply close off the head. The hole is of course not visible at the end. Some parts of the hair are in 2D and 2-sided, others are in 3D for a better effect. Apart from that, you also got some smaller 2D parts to just put on, as are his chains in the pocket and his crest on the jacket. And of course he is in his typical bowed down pose as he always is when taking orders from Ciel and saying “Yes, my Lord.” :}

I hope you love him as much as I do and that I get some time on my hands to assemble him as well. I am a huge fan of the anime so I was really excited to make this, and I also hope we get some new material in any way as well XD Enjoy and as always: Yes, my Lord! and happy crafting~

Sailor Moon Transformation papercraft

Sailor Moon Transformation papercraft

Since I have a bit of a history with Sailor Moon, and this was one of my first anime in my childhood I was genuinely obsessed with, I had to do another take on a Sailor Moon papercraft. But not just any old papercraft…

I thought deep and hard about what made Sailor Moon special to me, and figured out that I was always waiting for those amazing transformation poses and animation. Those beautiful slender bodies, the elegance, the magic, it was just captivating, and still is. The highlight of every »Mahou shoujo (Magical girl)« anime is the transformation scene we are all waiting for, so I decided to make just that!

It is quite a challenge to make such a dynamic pose into a static papercraft, and I had to figure out some tricks to do this, but all in all it's a genuine 90' Sailor Moon transformation sequence papercraft :)

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 30 cm, which means that Sailor Moon is about 26 cm tall, the stand about 3 – 3,5 cm thick. It consists of a 3D attached Sailor Moon model, with a separate 3D broch (that is just glued on like that), her 2D transformation ribbons, her 2D 2-sided wings and the 3D stand with 2 2D 2-sided heart transformation patterns.

The key to this craft is actually to be really neat and tidy when doing this, so definitely a 9/10 on a difficulty scale (advanced and for experienced assemblers only). The Sailor Moon papercraft has the stand where her feet are imbedded in, but that would definitely have to be reinforced and possibly made to stand with wire. Same goes for the wings that would need either wire or sticks to hold them in place so they would be attached the right way – but in doing that the wings can actually be moved up and down and in an angle, which makes the effort definitely show at the end being worthwhile.
The pieces of Sailor Moon are all attached together, but overall, because it is so slender, it has smaller parts to put together and the twin tails would probably also have to be additionally glued at the top so they would not fall over.

Same goes for the stand. If you want to include the 2 hearts, those would have to be attached on the stand with wire to hold their place. Or they can be made from cutting out pink foil and attaching those on the stand (which would also look amazing when doing that with the ribbons on her body; the foil would add extra shiny texture and it would hold the shape better).

Additionally, to these ideas about assembly tips, the Sailor Moon papercraft would, of course, look best if she would float. So, my tip would be to make her without the stand and just hang her from a wire or thread so she would look natural in her floaty pose.

***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***

All in all, as said, only for the not faint of heart and experienced papercrafters to make her look and stand the way she should. I will definetly try to get some time on my hands and make this baby, so you know that she can actually look as elegant and floaty as in the animation :)

In the meantime, hope you got some drive and motivation to do some of your own papercrafts. Enjoy and happy crafting~



BTW: The real funny part for this is that the idea actually came to me in a dream XD I was dreaming on being on my PC and thinking about what to do next for a papercraft and the idea came to me to make the transformation sequence of Sailor Moon, because it is so iconic and amazing. With all the wings and floating ribbons XD And the papercraft just started to dance and float and sparkle in my dream, damn it was so cool XD Sometimes my dreams are really random and I got no idea where this came from. It was probably at least 2 years since I last saw the new remakes of the Sailor Moon anime, so.... random? I guess :D

Neko Musume (GeGeGe no Kitarou) built papercraft

 

Neko Musume (GeGeGe no Kitarou) built papercraft

Here you can see another one of my built papercrafts I not only designed, textured and unfolded myself, but also assembled XD And it's no other than the cute “Neko Musume” (Cat girl) from the series “GeGeGe no Kitarou”.

She was my fav character from the anime, so of course I also had to build the papercraft I made of her. Took some time, and the last episode is quite a while back, since the season ended. But as far as I know, we get to see a sequel of some kind, movie I think, so I look forward to that! :) I get to post her now and hopefully you like it as well.

The craft itself is unfolded to 25 cm, so it’s a standard height for my humanoid papercrafts. As always, I started with the face, and made my way back to the hair, and closed it at the neck part. After I got the head, I added the 2D details, such as the bow and the ears.

Next, I made the hands separately, since I hate making fingers, so I wanted to have that out of the way fast. Nothing really to say here, if you already did finger and hand papercrafts, you know how tedious those can be. So, if you’ll assemble it yourself, take your time and work with either a small stick, tweezers or a needle (like I do to help myself close these small parts).

After the hands always follows the torso. Since she has a dress, and covered legs, you can always divide such papercrafts in at least 2 parts that you can make separately and then glue together. Much faster, easier and satisfying as I see it :D I made the 2 sleeves first, and then joined them together with the rest of the dress. After I got the dress part of the torso build about ½, I added the hands and just glued them in the right place, and added the pre-made head. For the head I tucked the neck with the flaps inside the torso hole, and glued/attached the head from the inner side of the torso. The simplest way for me to do it, so I recommend trying it that way (if you cannot get to the flaps from the inside to put glue on them, use a long stick or tweezers like I did. I always help myself with a long plastic chopstick, because it’s long enough, the glue does not stick onto it, and it has the right girth to help with any kind of holes). After that I built the remaining dress and then added the remaining extra 2D details of the dress on it.

Once I got all of this done, all that is left are the legs, which, as said before, are built separately. Nothing unusual here, just following the edge ID numbers to put them together. And once you have the legs all done, you can add in some last-minute weights (such as small pebbles that I always use to make difficult-standing papercrafts sturdy), and at the end glue both parts at the waist.

And there you go, my own “Neko Musume”. For any extra tips on how to make her yourself, I really do suggest adding weights into the feet, since it’s such a leaning pose and she has tall stilettos. And making her in many separate parts and attaching them part by part together, since it’s really easiest to make. Just try it and you’ll see ;)

Bear Wedding Pair papercraft

Bear Wedding Pair papercraft

Let's get a bit romantic with the next papercraft post I made, shall we? :) I present you the “Bear wedding pair” I made. As you can see, the idea is from the reference picture I saw on Twitter that somebody made, so I decided to make a papercraft out of the craft and make my own version out of it. I can post a bit of girly stuff from time to time, I think it’s a cute gift for anybody getting married or something like that, or they can be built separately just as deco as well.

In any case, the papercraft pair are unfolded to 20 cm, plus the hat of the groom adds about 3cm to the height as well, depending on how you position the cylinder hat of the groom really. Both of them are made out of 15 page-long template that you print out and assemble.

The papercraft consists of both bride and groom. They both have separate 3D heads, separate 3D ears and a separate 3D snout, that are all built and glue together at the end. The bodies are also separately made and are 3D. The groom has 3D feet and 3D arms that are part of the body, the bride has 3D feet that are part of the body and simple 2D 2-sided arms that are glued on just like that.

Both also have some additional add-ons such as the 2D 2-sided wail of the bride, the simple 3D cylinder hat, the brides 2D bow at the back of the dress and of course the blue roses that each have. The roses are actually made out of 3 different 2D parts that you glue together and can be made simply like this, or you can additionally add the 2-sided part on as well. They are actually really simple to make, since they are formed from 2D parts, so they look complicated but they really are easy to make. And they look original and pretty, just like real roses.

I have to say that although they look boxy, the papercraft is not that boxy at all. Well, not that it is particularly hard to make, but it is rather time-consuming, since the boxy parts of the body have a lot of edges, so those take up a lot of time to make, since the edges are rounded up with those to make them look as cute as they are.

Blue Diamond (Steven Universe) built papercraft

Blue Diamond (Steven Universe) built papercraft

The Steven Universe cartoon series is sadly over for some time now, BUT that doesn’t mean that the fans are over the hype and everything it teaches us. No freaking way! One of the most epic series in a long time, and I really enjoyed every single episode of it. And as it was in these long lockdown days, I was re-hyping myself for the series again and watching some of the best song clips online, when I decided to make my favorite Diamond of the main 4, of which I have made all 4 as papercrafts, but I also wanted to have one built and standing in my showcase.

So, I decided to make my Blue Diamond papercraft. Why? I think she is the most awesome out of all 4, for me personally. Just the esthetics of the few first episodes it showed her, the mystics behind it, the first shown Diamond in the cartoon, her power, the sheer endless sadness she expressed with her presence, the 80s anime silhouette that immediately reminded me of beautiful old anime movies such as “The Last Unicorn”, “Capitan Harlock” or “Interstella5555”, it was love at first site really. And that’s a pretty rare thing for me, since I probably watched (no kidding) over 100.000 different anime/cartoons + counting, and you can’t pull me on the “totally love it” side with most of them. But this one hit the spot :)

 
Moving on to the assembly, the papercraft of Blue Diamond is unfolded to about 40 cm, since she IS a Diamond and huge, and it’s a great height to comfortably put together all parts. That being said, the only small parts that can be fiddly are the nose and the fingers, other than that it is mostly a walk in the part.

As always, I started making the face first (with the neck), and then the hair around. I finished the hair about ½ through, since I didn’t want to close it already, before finishing and attaching the head on the upper torso part, because trust me, you want to make the torso first and then attach the head. Really easier that way. So, I moved on to make her hands separately, to get that out of the way, and then the whole arms with the hands. Next came the top torso part of the body till the hips, so I had enough to attach the finished arms on it.

Once you have the upper torso with the finished hands and the separate head with half the hair, you can attach both parts together at the neck. Just push the neck with the flaps inside the torso hole, and smear the flaps from the inside of the torso with glue. Once the glue is on, fold them on the inside of the torso to glue it where it belongs, and you have yourself half of the papercraft finished.

Once the head is on the torso and the glue dries, make sure to reinforce the neck with additional jammed-up paper on the inside, so you make sure the neck doesn’t snap. I did that with the leftover paper from cutting out the template pieces, as always, so you can integrate those pieces without making any additional trash, which is always nice.

Now that the torso and the head are firmly attached and reinforced, I finished the rest of the hair on the back and closed it. Make sure to take extra time to glue the last piece on, flap by flap, since it can get a bit fiddly closing it like this. BUT since the back hair are very close to the torso, believe me, it is way easier to make it with these steps, than just building it all in 1 and then gluing it on, because you can get some problems gluing the arms on like that.

All that was left to do was to make the rest of the dress and close it. Again, since the dress pieces are the biggest of all of the template pieces, be sure to get a firm grip on those inside flaps, so it’s really neatly put together. Since I got small hands and fingers, I mostly do everything by hand, but I definitely suggest using other tools to help yourself if you can’t reach parts (such as sticks, tweezers, rulers, etc…).

And once you close the dress at the bottom, you got yourself you owl Blue Diamond. She stands perfectly, since the dress has a big surface and it’s flat and the upper body is in sync with everything. So, there is no need to additionally put weights in it, but you can always do so if you want to be 1000% sure. But it won’t fall over so easily even without.

And there you go, as you can see from the pictures, my own built and assembled Blue Diamond. It is the design of the older series, since I made her around the 2. season… probably, where she was still unhappy and miserable. BUT that’s the Blue I fell in love with, since these kinds of esthetics are really appealing to me, and the pose is also somewhat like an icon.

*Btw. also added some plastic sparkly stones around her when I took the pictures (coz I happen to have them around), since it looks more fancy and original that way XD nothing special, just wanted to enhance her "blue-ness" :D

I hope you like her and that it sparks some forgotten Steven Universe hype with all of the fans out there, which lets you remember why these series was so freaking awesome. Happy crafting~

Ohayou! Spank (Good morning! Spank) papercraft

Ohayou! Spank (Good morning! Spank) papercraft

Time for a retro papercraft commission that I made some time ago. The commissioner found a papercraft reference online and wanted me to reconstruct that design and make a papercraft Spank.

 
Now, before we go into the details, YES, I am super old XD not saying anything about the commissioner, just talking about me, because I actually watched this retro anime on TV when I was a kid. On German TV, because I mostly watched German TV when I was little (although I am not German), it was called »Hallo Kurt« and I though the dog was really funny and it was a cute anime with its own style and all, and I still think it's a really nicely aged anime that still has a unique style even today and I think that's a lot, considering that in the last 25 years since the anime was on TV, at least 100.000 new anime series came out, so…. XD

Spank or Kurt is a special and very smart dog that is in love with a cat actually :D so it’s really funny and the original voice of the dog is sooo cuteee :D do watch the reference online or watch the anime so you know what I am talking about.

In any case, this commission was a real journey in time, since I immediately recognized the character and it was really fun to make as well.

The papercraft is 17 cm tall and has 3 pages to print. Spank is really simply made, a boxier design as the commissioner wanted, with the mouth being 3D and inward, so that should be the only real “fiddly” part to assemble, although as said its really basic skill papercrafting. He has a 3D attached body, and separate 2D 2-sided ears, 2D hair and 2 2D 2-sided cats that you put on the tip of his tail (which are his cat friends from the opening theme of the anime that take part in his adventures as well) that you just glue on like that. He also has 2D hands with a 2D flower that you also glue on just like that, and a simple 2D boxy purse that you put around his head at the end. Super simple to make really :) And because the commissioner is awesome, he allowed me to re-sell the papercraft for anybody wanting to assemble it for him or herself.

***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***

Go watch the anime, I am sure it still has to be online somewhere to watch and enjoy, it’s really cute and funny :) Happy crafting~

Hatsune Miku chibi (Bear costume) papercraft

Hatsune Miku chibi (Bear costume) papercraft

“Welcome to the internet, I will be your guide ~kumaaa~!” XD

Or something like that. I saw a super cute Hatsune Miku figurine in a bear costume like this online, and I thought I would make one for myself, in papercraft form of course, so here it is.

The papercraft is unfolded to 15 cm and has 6 pages to print. The papercraft is made out of a 3D Hatsune Miku model with a skirt and bear paws as her hands and feet and her Hoodie with 3D bear ears and hair tails. More or less simple to make, with a complex texture to look very nice, such as the snowflakes in her hair and such (really took my time to make the colors pop out and to look nice).

She has both feet and bottom flat, the skirt also touches the bottom, so she sits just fine without any weights or additional help. I find sitting papercrafts very satisfying to display, since they fit everywhere and never fall over no matter what. And the poses are always adorable XD

***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***

(I did print out the papercraft to assemble it myself, but timeee.... I got none currently, so we'll see how long this will take me to make. In any case, I want to make this cutie, since I love sitting papercrafts so much now, coz I am lacking space in my loft to put them anywhere on display and if she sits like this I can put her really anywhere I want. Well, will take a while to post a finished version of it, but I'm on it XD~)

Hope you like the cutie. Enjoy and happy crafting~

CC chibi (Code Geass) built papercraft

CC chibi (Code Geass) built papercraft

Since I released the pattern and love the character so much, I also assembled here myself. So here are the basic instructions and tips I can give.

As with all my crafts, I always start with the head. Built the face first (with the neck) and then make your way to the back of the head. And once you get to the back, you’ll see that it’s open there, which makes a great help for gluing the last longer hairs on there, without the hole being even visible at the end (since it’s covered up with the long green hair of hers). The head is sturdy and doesn’t have any problems standing even with the hole, so no worries there, it’s just to make the template easy-peasy to assemble. And after that, all there is left are the 2 2D 2-sided ears you glue on the right sports and the head done.

Moving on, I made the 2 arms separately first. No real problems here, just assemble it following the edge ID and logic, and once both of them are made, glue on the 2D 2-sided straps on the 6 edges of the arms.

When the arms are done, built the first half of the torso with the collar. When you got that, glue the arms on the body and then slide the neck part (of the built head) inside the hole and glue it up from the inside. Let that part dry good, and when it does, use curled-up waste paper to bulk up that tiny neck of hers to prevent it from snapping (it’s a chibi papercraft, so the necks are always the most difficult part, since they are so small and the head disproportionately big).

After that, built the remaining torso part and then move on to the legs. Build them all the way to the end of the pants with those bell-shaped ends. – Pro tip: since we are dealing with a chibi papercraft, always be sure to reinforce and straighten the parts that are most vulnerable, like we did with the neck. - And since after you attach the head on the jacket, it becomes difficult to build it with the head facing upwards, so turn the papercraft upside-down and built the remaining parts till the last like that. That way the head will not weight down the body and you’ll have a simpler assembly.

All that is left is to make the last parts of the legs, which are the boots. Since we have those bell-shaped ends of the trousers, you can divide the assembly process to make it easier and so that you can fill in those legs at the end to make it stand sturdier. Build the separate boots and before gluing them on the trousers, you can fill them with weights (I always use small pebbles, since they fit inside every small hole and are heavy enough to make it stand. Of course, you don’t need to add weights in, you can do that just as a precaution, since the papercraft stands without help as well).

Glue both boots at the same time, applying glue on the end flaps of the boots, and showing them inside the bell-bottom trousers, adjusting the right angle to make the whole papercraft stand. And after this dries, apply the last 2D 2-sided belts on, and the papercraft is finished.

There she is, a cute little 21 cm tall CC all for yourself to have :)

CC chibi (Code Geass) papercraft

CC chibi (Code Geass) papercraft

A little stroll in the anime past with this papercraft, since the »Code Geass« anime was firstly shown quite a while back. Still, new movies are being released in the future along with some extras of the series, so I thought I would live it up a little and make my favorite cutie from the show »CC« or »C2« or the »Immortal witch« ;) One of the saddest characters in anime and the one with my favorite quote I still remember “Do you know why snow is white? – Because it is so old it has forgotten what color it was…” Damn beautiful ;_; watch it if you don’t know it yet.

The papercraft is unfolded to 21 cm and consists of 8 pages of patterns to print. It is made out of an adorable CC 3D model, with 2-sided hair for a better view (with a hole in the head where the hair is, so it’s super simple to assemble and the hole is not visible when assembled). Her extras, such as the belts and belts on her sleeves, are simple 2D 2-sided parts that are just glued on like that. And most important of all, no 3D fingers to put together, since she has those simple sleeves to make only XD All in all, really simple to assemble.

Along with that, I have also updated my unfold patterns to be even more logical on how and what parts to put together, so the templates come not only with the edge ID PDF files to see how to assemble them, but also with written notes and clues on what parts go together, written besides the relevant parts in the templates. Even simpler assembly, and a simple 3D chibi pattern for easy gluing together.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Halloween dead bunny built papercraft

 

Halloween dead bunny built papercraft

I know Halloween is over, but I think this craft is really unique (and maybe it fits into the whole Easter theme a bit, since it’s a bunny… XD), so I had to make it for myself to hang on the wall XD

It’s my Halloween dead bunny or suicide bunny wall mount papercraft. The template itself is about 25 cm big, so it’s quite easy to assemble. There is the separate bunny papercraft, and the separate carrot papercraft. I made the bunny first, starting at the ears and slowly gluing all the parts together, bit by bit, part by part, so there isn’t much to talk about the assembly. Maybe only that the tail at the back can be a bit fiddly, since it has small pieces, so I suggest you build the tail separately from the body, and when you get to the legs, glue it on then. And at the end, close the whole body at the 2 legs with the soles in the end.

For the carrot, you make the carrot first and close it at the part where it touches the bunny. After I closed it, I cut out the 2D 2-sided greens and glue them on the end of the carrot (I actually made small incisions in the carrot end with a scalpel and glued the greens inside the carrot, so the edges are invisible and it looks neater).

The real gimmick of the papercraft is actually that the carrot can be removed! I really loved the trick, and I saw a few uses of magnets in papercrafts online, so I had to try it myself. So, for this, I used 2 small magnets and glued one on the inside of the bunny’s tummy (where the blood is) and the other one on the inside of the carrot, where it touches the body. And it works great, as you can see! Really love the trick, so I suggest to use this trick when you get the chance as well (small magnets are mostly cheap and can be found in any paper supply shop). It’s really an interactive thing, and you can decide to put the carrot on or off, however you feel like that day XD I’ll be sure to use this trick on some of my next papercrafts as well, it’s so much fun.

The papercraft is meant to be hanged on a wall, so I definitely suggest you do that. As you can see in the pictures, I made them on my table with the bunny laying down (black background) and hanged on the wall on a small pin at the back (white background).

   

The most important part (again):

No bunnies or other animals were harmed in the making of this papercraft!

It is meant as a funny Halloween prep and in no way does it represent any kind of glorification of violence towards any kind of animal or living being! I love bunnies very much, so hopefully no hard feelings for me doing this Halloween gimmick.

The template and more in-dept info about it and how to buy it (just write me a private note) as well as the price can be found here:
