Easy Miniature Schnauzer Papercraft

Here's an easy dog papercraft of a Miniature Schnauzer. The American Kennel Club, describes this breed of dog as:

"Created to be all-around farm dogs and ratters, they are tough, muscular, and fearless without being aggressive. The Miniature Schnauzer is a bright, friendly, trainable companion, small enough to adapt to apartment life but tireless enough to patrol acres of farmland. They get along well with other animals and kids. Minis are sturdy little guys and enjoy vigorous play. Home and family oriented, they make great watchdogs."

This papercraft may be downloaded on the Pinoart website.

This Pokémon looks suspiciously like a corgi dog! Could it be that after 8 generations they have finally run out of ideas for new Pokémon? Nah.

Illusion Papercraft Collection

The folks at the education website, e*chalk, have a collection of papercraft illusions available for download. Sure, you know the illusion, the one where the character's head turns to follow you no matter where you move in the room. E*chalk calls their version of this trick "Swivel Heads". Four of the twelve illusions available are pictured. The ones not pictured are a cat, a fox, a dragon, a knight, a duck, a horse, a rooster and a skeleton. I wouldn't build too many of these.  The effect of a dozen pair of eyes following your every move can be kind of creepy! ;)

Doge Illusion Papercraft

It all started, I believe, with a dragon. It's eyes followed you no matter where you went in the room. From there, the papercraft illusion evolved into a myriad of characters, all with the same unwavering stare. Pictured is a version of the illusion that features the dog (a Shiba Inu to be precise) from the "Doge" meme. The printable template for this illusion may be downloaded here. Photo and design by Muumin Craft.

Obviously a labor of love, these paper models of the Gaulic friends were designed by Paperwar. Build photos are by Benjamin Girardier.

Scooby Doo Papercraft

This Scooby Doo paper model falls in the category of "oldie but goodie". Released in 2008 by Guillermo Molina on the now defunct Bongo Papercraft blog, the familiar pooch was part of a series of papercraft Scooby Doo characters on which Guillermo was working. Templates for the characters are hard to find these days, but Scooby at least is still available here. The build photo above is by Josh at Sidewinder's Model Works.

UPDATE 2/6/2018: More Scooby Doo characters available here!

Disney Papercraft: Lady and the Tramp Paper Toys

These Lady and the Tramp paper toys remind me of Valentine's Day. I'll let the folks at listverse explain why:

"It’s difficult to single out another exact moment in all of the vast Disney collection that’s more charming, creative, tender, iconic and downright romantic, than when the cocker spaniel and the schnauzer-mix in Lady and the Tramp serendipitously pull each other into a kiss when they slurp up the same noodle from a plate of spaghetti."

The templates for these cute paper dogs may be downloaded here.

They can be found here. :)

Cute Animal Papercraft Finger Puppets

Here are some cute animal finger puppets from the Japanese website "Terra Cotta". In addition to the cat, dog, penguin and duck shown here, there is also a "smiling" grey cat puppet available. The construction of these papercraft animal puppets is very simple and consists primarily of hollow paper cones and tubes. Look for the download links under the pictures of the puppets here.

Cartoon Dog Papercraft

Every once in a while I like to do a quick and simple build just for fun, so this cartoon dog was a welcome find. Officially titled "Doggy Woggy", this papercraft was created by budding cartoonist Trey Chavez as a Father's Day present in 2008. It has only four pieces but it did take a little longer than I expected because I had to improvise my own gluing flaps. The template for this doggy can be found here. (Oh, by the way, I think I attached the dog's ears a little different than Trey may have intended ^^)

Robot Dog Illusion Papercraft

This robot dog is a new take on the optical illusion dragon papercraft that you may have seen. Illusion papercraft such as this are constructed in such a way that as you move about the room the head and eyes appear to follow you. Entitled "Super Robot: Dog Version", this papercraft was designed by graphic designer Tanarat Ruamwang, Thailand, 2008. Both the template for the robot dog and a blank template to create your own illusion papercraft are available at Ruamwang's blog here.

Doctor Who Papercraft - K9 Robot

The template for this K9 robot dog paper model originally appeared in issue #3 of Doctor Who Adventures Magazine. I built the above K9 from a template scan by UK Doctor Who fan, Sean Huxter. In order to create a cleaner looking finished model, Huxter modified the original magazine template by erasing the dashed fold lines. A JPG image of the modified template is available on Huxter's website here.
