Welcome to /po/! We specialize in origami, papercraft, and everything that’s relevant to paper engineering. This board is also an great library of relevant PDF books and instructions, one of the best resource of its kind on the internet.Questions and discussions of papercraft and origami are welcome. Threads for topics covered by paper engineering in general are also welcome, such as kirigami, bookbinding, printing technology, sticker making, gift boxes, greeting cards, and more.Requesting is permitted, even encouraged if it’s a good request; fulfilled requests strengthens this board’s role as a repository of books and instructions. However do try to keep requests in relevant threads, if you can./po/ is a slow board! Do not needlessly bump threads.
Hints and tips?For folding, The best advice is to always fold as cleanly as possible, and take your time. Everything else comes with experience.https://origami.me/beginners-guide/https://origamiusa.org/glossaryWhat are ‘CPs’?Crease patterns are a structural representations of origami models, shown as a schematic of lines; they are essentially origami models unfolded and laid flat. Lines on a crease pattern may be indicated by ‘mountain’ or ‘valley’ folds to show how the folds alternate. If you’re particularly skilled at origami, they become useful instructions for building models. A common base fold is usually discernable, all the intermediate details can be worked on from there.https://blog.giladnaor.com/2008/08/folding-from-crease-patterns.htmlhttp://www.origamiaustria.at/articles.php?lang=2#a4

Is papercraft as a hobby dying?
>>629913please, it's not even the oldest onetry 10 years old
I wouldn't say it is dying. I recently discovered origami in 2025 and I have been keeping up and learning the hobby ever since. Is the hobby dying on the internet? yes. Many of the origami club websites are either inactive or dead due to the rising cost.
>>591172why would it be dying? its timelessjust make your own paper with like hemp or somethingsomething around you instead of killing treesbut if its already made whateverhowever buying it exacerbates the crime
now we're really dead! oooOOOooo
>>591172Hell no! I joined my school's origami club yesterday and it was suprisingly active and fun
Does anyone have the template for this?
https://mypapercraft.net/azunyan-azusa-nakano-k-on/ there will be a 19mb file with the papercraft.sorry if its's too late
>>627631thank you SO MUCHHHH!!!! <3
>>627616anyone remember sheldon/komeiji?

I just finished this model and I realized a few things: always print your models using inkjet, not laser because the laser toner cracks when you fold it and white lines show up. also, never use liquid super glue on thin paper because it bleeds terribly. i only use gel super glue because its thicker and spreads evenly
>>628131i think it took around 2-3 days
>>628114So cute ty for posting this!! <3
Awesome dude
So cool!
great
aka toilet paper rolls toilet paper is also allowed ITT
>>628427Fake roman pipe; marvelous invention.
>>628428toilet paper tubes were one of the stock items of the old BBC kids entertainment show Blue Peter.They'd do a how-to build something pretty often, and it'd be made of stuff you had at home like cereal boxes, egg cartons, plastic bottles, etc.>they had to say "sticky tape" not sellotape because the BBC used to take their impartiality and no advertising rule very strictly and saying "use sellotape to stick these together" might be construed as advertising.One year when I was young, they did a how to build the island from Thunderbirds because that thing was the hot christmas toy of the year and it was out of stock everywhere.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM_iV7R8rTMI know this post is more /toy/ than /po/ but it's a neat bit of history.

I got this action figure used for cheap. He was missing his vest so I made him one out of orange cardstock and rubber cement. It's a very amateurish job but I am still proud of it
>>627821Very nifty, it worked out great Anon.
Not an origami person but I respect the craftsmanship, sick vest!
Looks great.
>>627821fuck yeah dude, i'm glad to see this. it adds tons of personality. fits pretty much perfectly on him.
>>627821holy

6 more days until this becomes a 10 year old thread. Truly Outstanding. and this thread could 5 years more left in it.
>>630024What the fuck, how?
I had a question but none of the existing threads are really too relevant so I thought making a general help thread from the get-go (beyond what’s in the welcome thread) would be good so even if my question gets answered the thread can be used for other people’s questionsI’m making a papercraft where I want to paint part of it gold for some extra pop, but I want neat and clean lines. I’ve seen a lot of artists use washi tape to do this in their art and I want something similar, but I have inkjet prints and don’t want any of the ink to lift up. Any tape recommendations? Or possibly other techniques? I’ve done some googling but I don’t wanna take my chances with buying a ton of tape just to test it.
some sites you use to find templates? im a begginer
>>621939Usually i'm looking fot it at PaperZoneVN, but sometimes at Youtube, Pinterest, yeah cuz i'll take anything free
IS PAPERZONEVN DOWN FOR ANYONE ELSE AS WELL... I DON'T WANNA LOOSE YOU BABYYYY I NEED TO MAKE CHRISTMAS GIFTS
has anyone used a cutting machine to cut papercraft models? i recently got a silhoutte cameo 3 and i wanna use it on that
>270 days without a bump
Are there any examples of origami being used in science besides NASA solarpanels?
>>623910Sheet metal folding.Bellows/accordion.
>>627529love me some compliant mechanisms, these live in a shop window nearby they are very good i think
>>623910It’s not science like nasa but it was engineered using kirigami (origami with cuts allowed)https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BxVGLdMR_8A
Yes but I'm not at liberty to discuss it
Theres a cool tesselation pattern used in tourist maps in japan called the Miura fold though I believe the same pattern is also used in solar panels lmfao
I want to make a papercraft mask for Halloween, I was thinking maybe a goat or a cow.Where do you find patterns / templates for masks? I've tried searching with search engines, looking on Reddit, on torrent trackers, on Libgen, but no luck so far.
>>625335Can I grab the skulls ones from this? I'll make a temp email if you're still around.Also, anybody got a chicken/rooster mask template?
>>625329Are there papercrafts for luchador masks?
>>629673Happy Thought has 3 Rey Murdersterio masks
>>630008Oh apparently a bunch more luchador and halloween masks. Anyone a member and wanna share the files?
Hello /po/ today I decided to start creating South Park characters or rather OCs, but I have no ideas, if you want, share designs with drawings or descriptions, thanks for reading anon.
