Tuesday Crafternoon

Today is our first ever Tuesday Crafternoon and we are keeping it simple but fun!  One of my favorite crafts over the past year is to create papercraft characters from various fandoms.  It all began with a March Break Doctor Who program where we created a small army of characters from the show.

This Tuesday we will be making Adventure Time and Attack on Titan paper people!  How cute is Finn and BMO!

These crafts are inexpensive but require a bit of patience and a pair of scissors!

Materials Needed:

1. Scissors
2. Glue Sticks
3. A good printer (for a small size I print on 8 1/2 x 11 but for larger sizes I copy and paste the image it into a Microsoft Publisher document and enlarge it to tabloid size)

I find most of the templates from www.deviantart.com and I search for whatever character I am interested in.  Search terms include using the word "cubecraft" in addition to the character name. For example using the search term, "Doctor Who Cubecraft" will get you these.

Another great website that does a wide variety of characters is Mini Papercraft by Gus Santome (this is the website where I got Finn from).  He has a great variety of Marvel comic characters as well.

I can't seem to find a picture of our Doctor Who cubecraft army but below are two of my personal favorites!

These papercraft characters will be available in the teen section until next Tuesday!
