Life Size Velociraptor Skeleton Papercraft

DeviantART member Gedelgo is a master at creating low poly papercraft. Completed in 2015, I consider this life size velociraptor skeleton to be his most ambitious project. From nose to tail, the model is 6.6' (2 M) in length. Constructing the model is a challenge. First, there are no instructions. Second, the model will not stand on its own and must be rigged with wire in order for it to hold together. Heavy cardstock or cardboard are recommended as the construction material. If you dare attempt build this model, the template is still available at Pepakura Gallery. The download includes both PDF and Pepakura PDO files.

Printable Treehouse Playset

I was captivated by this printable treehouse playset offered on the Brother Creative Center website. My children would have really been into something like this when they were younger. The three level treehouse has a room (complete with furniture!) on each level. Think of it as a stackable dollhouse. The six residents of the dollhouse are deer, rabbits, and owls. Hats off to Brother for creating such an imaginative papercraft!

Papercraft Christmas Village Advent Calendar

It's that time of year when people like to to do holiday craft projects. I like this papercraft project by the Woo! Jr Kids Activities website because it combines two Christmas traditions into one. First, it is an advent calendar. Second, it is a Christmas village. Another cool feature of this printable is it comes in both a pre-colored version and a color-it-yourself version. Happy crafting!

The final season of the Stranger Things series begins on Netflix tomorrow, November 26! To celebrate the occasion, I wanted to post a Stranger Things papercraft. One of my favorites is this demogorgon paper toy created by Gun Santome. The paper version is much friendlier looking than the original!

The first Star Wars movie to feature Imperial Scout Troopers was Return of the Jedi in 1983. Since that time they have appeared throughout the Star Wars franchise, including animated series and video games. This paper model scout trooper features equipment essential to their job: electrobinoculars and an EC-17 hold-out blaster. The Pepakura PDO template for this model was created by Juraj Sáska and may be downloaded from MediaFire. The finished model is 13.71" (34.8 cm) tall.

Low Poly Halloween Pumpkin Papercraft

This low poly Halloween jack-o-lantern is offered for free in the Halloween "printables" section of the HP website. The PDF template for the pumpkin is available here. After following the link, you will notice there is no "download" button, just a "print" button. A PDF can be obtained by clicking on the print button then choosing "save as PDF" instead of choosing your regular printer. The jack-o-lantern must be printed on color cardstock to get the look in the photo, as the template is black and white. HP calls this printable a "candle holder" and notes: "Please use only a LED candle. Never use a regular candle to avoid fires!"
