In the Five Nights at Freddy's video game universe, Freddy Frostbear is a wintery alternate version of Freddy Fazbear, the character who gives the game its name.

Old Church Papercraft

Once upon a time, there was an Italian papercraft company named Odissey that had some really nice free samples. The company is long gone, but if you look carefully, you can still find some of the free samples hiding in the far corners of the Internet. One such sample is the Old Church paper model pictured. The printable PDF for the church may be downloaded from the archive located HERE. Instructions are included in the download, but be aware the text is in Italian. Be that as it may, the images in the instructions are good enough that the text should not be needed. This model is a good size for miniature gaming and RPG games.

Pokémon Papercraft: Absol

Absol is one of my favorite Pokémon! According to Pokemon.com:

Swift as the wind, Absol races through fields and mountains. Its curved, bow-like horn is acutely sensitive to the warning signs of natural disasters.

Jaws Orca Papercraft

If you have seen the 1975 movie, Jaws, then you know this boat. It is the Orca.

This paper model is a 1:100 scale "micromodel" designed by Rawen. The one page PDF template for the model may be downloaded from MediaFire.

Cute Origami Cat Rings

What's not to love about these origami cat rings? They are easy to fold, just the kind of project to do with kids. The video instructions for folding the rings from a single square of paper may be found on Pinterest. Rings for small children should be folded from a 6"x6" square of paper. For adults, a 9"x9" square of paper works well. Happy folding!
