Board: /po/
"/po/ - Papercraft & Origami" is 4chan's imageboard for posting papercraft and origami templates and instructions.
Welcome to /po/! We specialize in origami, papercraft, and everything that’s relevant to paper engineering. This board is also an great library of relevant PDF books and instructions, one of the best resource of its kind on the internet.
Questions and discussions of papercraft and origami are welcome. Threads for topics covered by paper engineering in general are also welcome, such as kirigami, bookbinding, printing technology, sticker making, gift boxes, greeting cards, and more.
Requesting is permitted, even encouraged if it’s a good request; fulfilled requests strengthens this board’s role as a repository of books and instructions. However do try to keep requests in relevant threads, if you can.
/po/ is a slow board! Do not needlessly bump threads. > I'm new to papercraft and I'm starting to use it as a relaxing hobby and as a cheap way to decorate my room
does anyone have any tips for starting out? I'm new to this and I feel I'm not very proficient and would like to get better Feel free to post your collections, your works in progress, or your star hordes! You can find lots of inspiration in the old thread (http://boards.4chan.org/po/thread/515222) Remember /PO/ is a slow board so please don't bump the thread. I created the last thread over two years ago. Here's to two more. Mam I love azumanga, if anybody has any model of this series pls share it, I want to make and archive any model that there is, specially the PS1 game models. I recently bought photo cubes to make dioramas but I really can't find any free templates so I would like to ask if anyone has the pdf of the GUMY art or BubzTea templates. made years ago and I want to recreate, cannot find the diagram or name of the shape anywhere I hate it but I still love her with all my heart. Is there anything more based than making one's waifu/husbando out of paper? hell freaking yeah this took about 2 days to make, im pretty proud of it No Stencil thread? What has happened to /po/ ? I've looked everywhere and can't find anything the artist is called Ingrid Siliakus she does some cool stuff but wondering if she had any templates or does she keep this stuff secret? Previous thread's life finally ended after 3 years. >>553409
Let's start a new one! Please share this origami book, I need it for the construction theme In remembrance of the last paper planes thread, which just so happened to be one of the oldest boards on 4chan that passed away quite recently, this thread will serve as its successor. Hopefully this thread won't be prematurely bumped into oblivion like the last one did.
Anyways, this thread could serve as a sort of "Paper Planes General". Feel free to post your designs, .pdf files, and folding instructions. Anything goes as long as it flies or at least looks like its supposed to. I'm making an effigy of a McDonald's nightmare golem stickermaking counts as papercraft right? Model:

Hey /po/, someone on /toy/ >>>/toy/11053102 asked after it, so I figure I'll share here again too as it's been a while since my last thread. Basically, a loose collection of toy-related items that I should go back and source, but hope you all enjoy if you've not seen it before! Made a origami transformer (brawl). Personaly think its way better than a lot of whats been on the internet. Could only use printer paper so the model is still very limited and simple, tho i suppose thats a strength depending on how you look at it Is it like a computer program or something As the last thread won't take any more posts, starting a new one...

It's been pretty dead lately, not even requests, so I don't know if any one will read this. Can some one please re-post "Origami Pro 7" and "Origami Tanteidan Convention 29". They've been shared everywhere else already, so why not in 4chan? Hello, this topic is for people to make "public" exchanges, that is, post a file publicly and the other person posts another, so that everyone can download it. For example, I have Origami Double and I want to exchange it for Marine origami. If anyone posts Marine origami publicly I will post Origami Double the same way. Thanks for understanding. wow these take a long time. Origami paper is pretty much out of my reach. Anyone here has this model and is willing to exchange? I wanted to try origami and decided to use the recommended websites in the mod thread and it might be my autistic brain but how the fuck do I follow this Does Origami help getting a gf? Does anyone know the name of this origami pattern? I saw it in this video, and I want to make one in the same style but with different colors.
https://files.catbox.moe/24u8cp.mp4 Hello, it's my first time posting here and I don't know the lore about the artists who create papercraft or where to get the material
I'm looking for papercraft models from the anime Love Live! School Idol Project (especially Maki Nishikino or Hanayo Koizumi)
I would appreciate your help, and if you can guide me better, sorry for the inconvenience,
Thank you very much for the help and happy new year! I want to make a papercraft mask for Halloween, I was thinking maybe a goat or a cow.
Where do you find patterns / templates for masks? I've tried searching with search engines, looking on Reddit, on torrent trackers, on Libgen, but no luck so far. I wanted to make a template for miku using her 3d model. does anybody know how to go about doing that? What is your favourite thing to make? hehe, le funny mustache man Does anyone have the pic attached. I can't find shit on google. Post some spooky origami I can make please >Find interesting model, want to replicate
>No diagrams, no instructions, no video tutorial
>Find out which magazine original was published in
>Magazine XXX Issue 123
>Search for scan of magazine on usual PDF sharing sites
>Issues 122 and 124 uploaded
Every. Goddamn. Time.
Pic semi related - sometimes crease patterns exist but frankly I never had the patience to learn from those. May have to at this point. Can we have a thread for sexy papercrafts?
Posting a few pics to spark interest, but I sadly never found the files for them. What's the best paper airplane you've ever made? Endless garden 6 modular units I accidently printed 99 sheets of homework , any ideas? i did this like a gift, "When I finished this model, I thought I would feel satisfaction, but I felt nothing, hahaha. I make 6 models for 6 people every year and give them as gifts." guys, I beg you to tell me how to make origami using patterns. I wanted to make an origami xenomorph but I only found a pattern. I want to learn how to make origami using a pattern. I did pretty well with the wizard from Satoshi Kamiya according to the instructions and I want to do it >always liked origami as a kid
>like every other kid i guess
>recently decided to get back into it
>started working through a book
>using printer paper because i don't have origami paper
>got to about halfway through the intermediate models
>having a ton of fun
>one night i accidentally leave one of them out on the kitchen table
>wake up next day

origami models for this feel? i like to draw playing cards folded in weird ways. but i just have to make up how it would look in my head, and guess. is there any origami that would be possible with a playing card? so that i could use it as an actual reference? that would be cool.
playing cards are typically 3½ × 2½ inches >British Origami Society | Origami is increasing

>Cranes for Ukraine Take Flight British Origami
https://www.britishorigami.org/cp-blog-item/cranes-for-ukraine-take-flight/ Hey I’m just getting into origami. Made a couple lotus flowers already. Can’t decide what to do next, please send me some instructions to pick Is there any masculine origami/papercraft ideas that are masculine for a chad like me Recently got back into Quake with the release of Quake II remastered, and came across some photos of this model online-I thought I used to have a copy of it, but can't find it-I can only find the similar Ninjatoes version.
Does anyone have a copy of this model they could scan and preserve for the future? It is pretty old; from 1997! I've been searching for it for awhile with no luck. Hi, I'd put this information before, but I think that thread had been eliminated. But one more time, and sorry for all you :( Do anyone have that book? Could anyone shared in this thread? Thanks for your atention share ur fav sticky note origami I made this little puzzle box called a soma cube for my girlfriend for Christmas. I was going to make a little wooden box to put it in, wood burn something on it, and then wrap the box up for Christmas with a few other things I have since returned since, well, she broke up with me. I haven't made the wooden box yet, and I'm kind of lost on whether I should finish it up for the sake of completion or if I should just make a paper box and wrap it up just to sit on a shelf, maybe for someone else or the next girlfriend, or just to sit as a trinket. i made this for my mother
happy birthday mom
please share your creations too ^_^ Something that fits one page or less. I don't see any box designing thread here.
So picrel is what I think the well protected design to safely deliver fragile items, but this design is only good for small bottles but not for big items, such as for an item that's 2/3 size of a coffee table. I tried using the same material (cardbox) but the strength of the box couldn't support it. How would you improve this design so that I could still use the cheap card board stocks while at the same time it's able to retain shocks from being tossed around? What are cereal boxes made of? I know they're comprised of grayboard/chipboard but what do they print on? Is that white part part of the chipboard? Why does nobody sell this?
This is the same as VHS box sleeves, NES, SNES, N64 boxes. Yet nobody seems to actually know how they're made. What kind of paper plane is this? I printed a template of a Konata figure, but I have a problem identifying some of the parts like the head (because I saw that the parts to identify the faces are in Mojibake) I wanted to know if u could help me here REQUEST: Side-by-side classic shotgun
Are there any good weapon paper model makers that would either have a plan already made, links to some, or any help to making one?
I've been trying to find one for Quite A While now and have been attemptin to create One by first modeling it out etc. but hit a "bit" of a setback with my computer frying up completely during a thunderstorm.
Looking Now for the classic type of shotgun. Attempting to acquire the level of detail and possible function that are akin to the "Paper Manufacturing" brands level of quality. Ey /po/, one of the new Pokemon from Pokemon Sun and Moon version is Kartana. It looks like this. Can you make it in real life with origami, and if so, how?

Do you guys only fold paper cranes and glue Warhammer figures? I've never seen a bookbinding thread here.
Printed and bound House of Leaves. Split it into 2 volumes because I was afraid to work with so many pages at once. Covered with paper-backed vinyl (black) and linen fabric (red), which will probably collect a ton of dust pretty soon.
Couldn't decide how to put the titles on. Should have made a debossed rectangle with a paper label glued inside. But I hoped that hot ink transfer would work. So I made the covers first, then printed the title on ink transfer paper, and found out that pressing a hot iron to the cloth-covered board warps the board due to heat expansion. Tried on small swatches first (picrel). This method won't work.
As I understand it, my current options to put the title are limited to
>linocut transfer
>screening (sponging the ink through a trafaret)
>just print a paper label and glue it on top
Don't have any hot stamping tools to work with foil, nor the desire to purchase these materials. https://www.amodernhomestead.com/harry-potter-chocolate-frogs-boxes/ I seen this papercraft everywhere but im not to sure where to get/buy the template. If anyone has the pdf ill pay i need it so bad!! Recently I got inspired by this guy who models their cosplays with cardboard and I got surprised by how good the round shapes ended up look like.
I only want to make a mask with round shapes but every tutorial I found uses straight strokes for the template and I want to know if I can find more information of how to do it the other way Hey guys. I recently pulled this card. Do you reckon it would be possible to make this? Just one new free papercraft from me this year, and to be honest it's an Abomination: https://ninjatoes.com/2024/10/31/warcraft-iii-abomination/
I hope you had a great Halloween, have fun building! Here's one of a '92 Chevy. Feel free to contribute your own or construct the ones in this thread and posting the results. I have met a really beautiful girl at my university, she is someone very interesting. In a very nice act, she gives me a paper crane (it's the one in the photo).
I want to make something special in origami, I would like you to help me with some romantic and cute ideas, it could even be flowers.
PS: The level of difficulty does not matter. If you can make this thing a reality I'll resign as an art (netzach) tutor. oragami is kino The threads that have torrents are gone, but I am still seeding.
https://metis.feralhosting.com/greasemnstr/-po-v3.torrent
https://metis.feralhosting.com/greasemnstr/smallerTorrents.zip Ive done some basic stuff and i want to learn more advanced stuff in origami as a project. What books are good for that? I got this picture of a few pins badges representing animals, possibly origami models (that's probably the intended effect).
Any of you know if they are origami models and not just polygon-shaped animals?
And if they are origami, any idea of who the creators are? My stuff
Say nice things about it even now there is hope for /m/an
but this is /po/ so lets ee 'em Why isn't anyone using papercraft as skin for 3D printed stuff? What paper do you guys use for your origami?
And what is your favorite paper? Hello!
I currently have a group dedicated to finding and posting Origami books on Discord. do you want join?
Invitation link: https://discord.gg/JC65pEeN
If you have any doubts, below is a book "as a gift for you" (but the maximum allowed file is only 8 mb) post favorite bug templates! getting back into the hobby! First, is there a commonly accepted file format for digital die cutting machines, like .stl files for 3D printers? Second, how likely would a local print shop be to have a machine that can use such files? Is Star Trek origami a good place to start? Looks fun and there are books on it
https://www.giladorigami.com/origami-star-trek Heyo! I've seen people posting their models and dolls here for a while, that's really cool! so i took courage to do the same.
Here's my favorite one-
(English is not my first language, so sorry for mistakes lol) Saw this on Twitter, wanted to repost it here, someone might appreciate this. Is papercraft as a hobby dying? Favorite Family Guy origami? Post templates. Hello, I would like to know if anyone knows anything about the user Chamoo323, a while ago I contacted Ninjatoes to see if he knows anything and he told me that before retiring he uploaded all his papercraft in a download file
Does somebody know anything about this? Papercraft with additional / alternate materials, aluminum, wire... Does anybody have this model?
Or any Low Poly kind of model for a Toucan? First edition of the Paper Cutting General
Post your tips, ressources, tricks, and inspiration for your papercutting creations ! How do you make your figures have more consistency? I have thought about resin but I don't know if it is a good option for paper. What method do you use? does anyone else remember lucky stars? those origami stars made by gently tying paper? bc I've never heard anyone else acknowledge them and i think I'm going mad I have these books from NOA for 1-100
3,5,17-19,22,47,49,51,53,58,61-63,66,68,70-72,80-so on
Looking to trade with anyone who has NOA 533 and up or ones that I am missing from 1-100 Spot the differences!

Have fun building! I have been looking forever for this file. Can someone plz just upload the pdf to Google drive or comment the link where I can find the instructions for this? Has anyone used just paper to make terrain pieces for their wargame, sort of like pop up sets like pic related? I had a question but none of the existing threads are really too relevant so I thought making a general help thread from the get-go (beyond what’s in the welcome thread) would be good so even if my question gets answered the thread can be used for other people’s questions
I’m making a papercraft where I want to paint part of it gold for some extra pop, but I want neat and clean lines. I’ve seen a lot of artists use washi tape to do this in their art and I want something similar, but I have inkjet prints and don’t want any of the ink to lift up. Any tape recommendations? Or possibly other techniques? I’ve done some googling but I don’t wanna take my chances with buying a ton of tape just to test it. Today I've found out about the latest tanteidan issue. It has steps for the mosquito on the cover, I would love to fold it. A digital release is not available and single issues can't be purchased; to get the magazine I would need to buy a yearly subscription. Moreover shipments from Japan can take up to three months in my experience. If anyone has a copy I would gladly pay for a scan with Paypal, thank you. When I was 10 yo, I got an amazing origami book where I learned about origami "purism" philosophy - always using only one square sheet of paper, no cuts and no glue. What do you think about those self-imposed limitations for aesthetic reasons? The lack of a good /po/+/ck/ thread is absurd...
So here goes, food origami thread. i really wanted to get the model in the pic.
But the Changs are making it impossible to get it.
first the Baidu bullshit. then the paper tv board bullshit. then the no shipping to europe bullshit.
why are they like this?
alos looking for youlinke stuff. the guy is pretty good There is this beautiful barista at my local Starbucks and I want to let her know I love her but not straight up say it. I want to come in every morning next week and each time give her a new origami.
I am new so please give me simple origami designs a woman will like. Thanks. does anyone have Paper Pendulum Clock kit or pattern? I have a kind of kit book but it quality is bad. pls share if you have better. I really want to make this one. thank you! I've made several custom paperized papertoys, based on upcoming Oppenheimer film.
First one up is J.Robert Oppenheimer as played by Cillian Murphy.
Download PDF here: https://www.blog.private-universe.net/2023/07/13/papercraft-paperized-oppenheimer-papertoy-trinity-site-version/ Here's a (imo) article on origami: https://www.guokr.com/article/63817/ Welcome, this is a SHARING thread, where you request and share single diagrams (preferably). And I would like to encourage sharing this mockingbird. A thread for discussion and posting of anything related to sonobe, kusudama, bascetta, Chinese paperfolding and similar stuff. hello, can anyone help me to convert pdo to pdf?.
i found the nilou character pdo but i have a hard time accessing the fdo file because it's too big and besides i don't have a pc.
please help guys! If you have this book, please share it. From the Edo, Meiji or Taisho periods. Here my own attempts at paper models from over 200 years ago. Hey I know the overlap between people who like paper modeling stuff and people who like home designs is small, but does anyone else do something similar to this? Design a little home layout in MS paint, print it out, cut it out, and tape/glue it together? It's nice to be able to better visualize home designs than just in my head and it helps me avoid using software. I've made a few of these and just finished this one about ten minutes ago. Seeing everything else here I know it may be a bit sub-par quality, but I'm still happy with how it turned out :) i finished this nico figure yesterday and her right leg needs some support, but i dont know what i could use as a stand, if u have any ideas i would appreciate it anyone who has this model to trade please 
Hello! I make pepakura for money. Models are usually constructed only once. My pieces are not so much like what we can find online; they tend to be VERY large and intricate, akin to a vg model. This is context for what my advice applies to. If you do it as an easy hobby or stick with truly low poly/tiny part models, a lot won't apply. No pic related just inspo, this is advice dump not my art thread. If you have any questions, why X, tell me more about Z, I am happy to oblige. I rarely use 4chan and wrote this on a whim, sorry if no reply. If you are interested in reaching for the stars with pepakura, here are my personal trade secrets.
MATERIALS/TOOLS
---Do not score the fold lines by hand. If you have a silhouette cameo, go ahead. To fold by hand purchase a glass scraper. I have two, one with a small 1.5 inch blade and another that is 4 inches. Dull the blade. I align the fold line across my fingers, press down with the blade.
---Stop using an xacto knife. Get a snap blade utility knife. I HIGHLY recommend OLFA, XA-1 design.
---Titebond II Premium wood glue. It doesn't cure instantly but that's good, you don't want that. You want to be able to move the tab around into the perfect position before it starts curing. You have a 10 second window to make sure it's in position before it starts curing, then another 10 seconds till you can let go & any tension in the structure won't pull the tab out of place.
---Tiny squeezable craft bottles for glue. One of the bottles I added thicker medical syringe tube. It is long, which is good for when I have to apply glue to a tab which is difficult to access The other bottle has a 1 inch long coffee straw, I use that for when I need a lot of glue then spread it around. When a tab is huge I just open a jar of glue and use a brush to paint it on.
---Dental tools.
---Little neodymium magnets. I rarely use them, usually to hold a tab in place after the glue has already cured to the point that I can let go. See below Some time ago, several users contributed various NOA magazines to a publicly shared folder. This is a reminder that everyone can access and contribute to this folder to keep it up to date and ensure all magazines are accessible to everyone.
Currently, we have most of the magazines, except for the latest issues and newsletters. Please refer to the index file to see the list of currently shared magazines.
You can access the shared drive using this link:

Please note that the folder has read-only permissions because many items were accidentally deleted several months ago. If you have any missing magazines to contribute, please upload them to this post, and I will update the shared folder accordingly.
Thank you all for your contributions! Is it possible to create a highly detailed 1:64 papercraft car? Is there a term for this type of 3D models? I love this one, I'm looking for more.
A lot of (animal) models are unfortunately too flat for my taste. I tried to google "3D animal origami" but I only got a bunch of tessellations/modular origami. Please recommend me some diagram/models to fold. Link to Origami Library in Discord again:
https://discord.gg/EAZvEBRaCS
We really need your contribution, please participate if you can Pepakura had a version update and I was wondering if anyone has a licence key crack or the hex value offset to unlock locked pdos. I make small Origami to the point that when I gift people Origami they toss it in the Trash because it's too small to be recognised.
Either that or I'm just too bad at Origami lol Paying my sincerest gratitude to those dedicatied enough to create these amazing templates. Took an entire week, became my most badass room deco.
Any advice on how to expedite the process? Sitting like the hunchback of Notre Dame for 9 hours every day for 7 days is hella unhealthy. I want to make Tim Avery from son of the Mask as a papercraft figure. Can you help /po/??? I made these some weeks ago for my Mom. I neglected to take pictures of them at the time. I had her bring them with her when she last visited me so that I could photograph them.
All 4 models I'm posting ITT are from Tomoko Fuse's "Origami Cranes." I finally found the NOA magazine 202 but I don't have an diyzhen invite so can you guys get it for me? Yesterday I made this Miku figure, and since her arms could move I decided to pose her like my favourite dictator. I wanted to make a cute hat for her but I can't find a free template of the right kind.
The one I made for now sucks and I believe she deserves better.
If any of you can help me that would be nice. I am really interested in this one:
https://www.yoycart. com/Product/42956856534/
but I have never heard of the site, have no experience and have no idea if it's fake or not. Does anybody know? Is it an actual physical paper print they send you or just online files?
Or does anybody know if these boxy One Piece papercrafts are somewhere to be found online maybe? How do we replicate this?
Source: https://youtu.be/3EbjlJdvPkU?si=IQfAG2LQtanTlYkj been trying lowering the polygon count and all for the past 3 days Please post images that print well for use as origami paper! I routinely "chop up" a page to easily get 12 to 20+ squares out of a single print.
Multi-pattern images are really cool... allowing for several squares each with individual patterns.
Any good pattern that'll work for several squares with the same/similar patterns.
Black & White can be really cool when printed onto color papers. Post your favorite Origami sets Willing to PayPal. Absolutely love this model and Amazon Jp doesn't carry it yet Hey /po/, I'm looking for good youtube channel recs to follow. I specially remember someone on here sharing their own channel and I found it kinda neat but couldn't find it ever again (it was something to do with their own personal collection of paper toys / scans). Post good youtube channels centered on papercrafts, origami, paper toys, dioramas etc and try to avoid any of that stupid kiddie shit please. I created the winged scorpio in prehistoric age the time life was vivid. It came from nothing. Why am I keep getting stuck on step 51 of Brian Chan's Wolf spider? Diagrams seems so simple but after years of folding I still didn't figure it out.
Always the same. Inside layers are blocking 4 thicker flaps to be reverse folded as picture on the next step suggests. So without tearing the paper, or in best case smashing it, all legs could not be folded side by side. On the other hand, there are pictures of finished model all over the internet. So what am I doing wrong? I compared CP with my creasing lines and they all match.
Could someone find the time to help me stop this step 51 nightmare? I will post the diagrams if anyone wants to try it.
P.S. Except unresolvable step 51, steps 22 and 23 are also mysterious. It says 'repeat behind' when there is nothing on the other side to be done symmetrically. ITT: mathematical objects in paper.
polyhedra.net has some good ones.
This guy has two tabs that are impossible to tuck in and glue in place. Greetings to all members of Papercraft & Origami. I'm seeking advice on the most effective method for precisely cutting a square from a large sheet of paper. Additionally, I'm interested in suggestions for adding color to my plain white sheet through painting techniques. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance :) if anyone has this please share. (sorry for the quality I only found this image, but the title of the book is NOA Magazine 5). Years ago someone made a papercraft of the meme Gundam RX-78 face. Anyone have it?
