Haunted Carousel Papercaft

Ravensblight is the undisputed king of Halloween papercraft. One example of the creations to be found at the website is this haunted Merry-Go-Round which actually spins. Also to be found on the site are enough paper models of haunted houses to create a Halloween village!

German Christmas Carousel Paper Model

For Christmas 2013, Kallboys has released a papercraft merry-go-round that actually spins! In the early twentieth century such carrousels were a tradition in outdoor Christmas markets in Germany. The PDF template for the merry-go-round may be downloaded here. For a paper model of an entire German Christmas market (complete with carrousel) see my previous post here on Kallboys' 2011 Christmas papercraft.

Antique Toy Circus Papercraft

The Victoria & Albert Museums of England are offering an antique toy circus papercraft on their website. The original template for the circus was created by a French company around 1930. The best part of this papercraft is that it is an automata of sorts. Twirl the flag on top and the performers spin around like a merry-go-round. In addition to the usual cardstock, a piece of cork and a barbecue skewer are also required to build the circus. The template for this papercraft may be found here.
