How to make a Chibi Paper Craft~

Character Paper Crafts originated from Japan. You can say it is the modern origami or the Japanese art of Paper folding!

Here's a sample on how it looks~ :)

That's an Edward Elric Paper Craft by Treanii of Deviantart~

Now, I'm gonna show you the steps on how to assemble a Japanese Character Paper craft!

First, you'll need a pattern.

I got this one from Deviantart. Well, some pattern are available on Google or Yahoo.

Second, cut the head part off the paper, and fold the broken lines.


This is how it will look like when folded~



Third step, unpatterned the bangs.



Then, fold it according to the broken lines and paste the upper and lower bangs together~

This is how it will look like. :D

Next, assemble the head part by pasting it up together!

Note:
Paste together the the back and the lower head part first, then paste the bangs, let it dry before you connect the face to the head. :)

When dried and already assembled, this is how it will look like!



Now, let's do Len's head-tail~


Just do the same as step 2 and 3!~

And, this is how it will look when it's already pasted on Len's back of the head~


Next, let's assemble the body!~

Unpatterned the body and arms. Fold it according to the broken lines.


Paste the arm at the back of the space between the front and back phase of the body.

When dry, paste the back and front parts together, and this is how it will look like.

Do the same thing as for the leg part, and insert it inside the body of your Len Kagamine Paper craft~


Lastly, paste the head into the body~

Finished~ ;)
