I've allways loved low poly art and origami. When I found out that I can do both at once I started right away.

Supplies

-a printer
-paper (I think that a little bit harder paper works perfectly)
-scissors or a knife
-glue in stick and tape

Find a Good Papercraft

You can find a lot of papercrafts on papercraftsquare so please don't buy papercraft kits.

You can also make your own papercraft ( https://www.instructables.com/Create-faceted-paper-objects/ )

Print a Template

Now you need to print your papercraft. You can adjust how big will be your finished result.

If your papercraft is in .pdo, you'll need pepakura on you computer to print it.

Cut It Out

You are ready to cut out your papercraft. Use scissors or a knife (i prefer scissors).

Now is the time to persionalize your papercraft. You can paint the pieces with different colors and however you want. I left mine white. You can also print the papercraft on different papers.

Fold and Glue It

After you cut the papercraft out it's time to fold all the pieces.
There are two different lines on the pieces:
- - - - - - - -Fold it up
- – - – - –Fold it down

If you folded the pieces you are ready to start to assembly. You just need to look out for same numbers and glue them together. Be aware of which side you want to be outside and which inside. Glue the folds to the inside of other pieces.
I glued everything with glue in stick but it wasn't nice at the end so you probably want to use doubble-sided tape.
