Papercraft Instructables Robot

Looking for a fun craft to do in your free time? If you are, you're in luck. Have fun building this awesome craft project of the iconic Instructables Robot. All you need is a printer, paper, tape, and scissors to create this amazing paper creation.

Physical materials:

Clear Tape

Paper

Tools:

Color Printer

Scissors

I started off by designing the template in Canva. Using yellow squares, rectangles, and a lot of patience, I was able to create the template for this awesome robot. I then sent it to a color printer to print. I then printed the template on a regular sheet of paper. To print the template, just download and print the file below.

Carefully cut out each piece of the project. Lay them out neatly as shown above so that all of the pieces are easy to find.

To create the head, Fold along all of the white lines. Make sure that the yellow side of the paper is facing outwards. Next, securely tape all of the edges to create a cube like shape. I put the tape on the inside so that it would not be visible once the robot was completed.

Once again, fold along the white lines, making sure the yellow side is visible on the outside. Put the tape on the inside so that it will not be visible.

To create the arms, fold along the white lines, making sure the yellow side is facing outwards, to create a tube like shape. Then wrap the tape around the outside to get the result shown above.

For the legs, fold along the white lines to make them into into elongated cube like shapes, and then tape them securely. They will be holding the entire weight of the robot, so make sure they are sturdy by adding a little extra tape on the inside.

For the base, fold along the white lines, making sure that the yellow side is facing outwards. Then, tape the edges together to make a cube like shape. Make sure that the bottom of the stand is completely flat.

With tape, assemble all 7 of the pieces you have made so far to create the final product: A Paper Instructables Robot!

Pro Tip:

Make sure to have the Instructables logo right side up, and on the front of the paper model.
