This has to do with my hobby of papercraft. Papercraft consist of printing out templates with a normal printer on paper. Cutting the paper out, and gluing them together.

The instructions in the image below are for some part in the figure above.

1.1. What you need for papercraft

You dont need more than regular paper, scissors, and some glue. But for larger papercrafts it will be very difficuilt if you dont have specilized tools. For larger papercrafts you should use:

  • A cutting pen
  • Specilized paper glue. I like B-7000
  • Paper of 150gsm - 200gsm, which is thicker paper than regular paper
  • Something to cut on top of, for example a cutting mat
  • Software to deal with files for papercrafts, which will showcase 3D model of the craft, and how to connect parts. Pepakura is often used.
