During the summer I started papercraft as a hobby as well, and what I've noticed is that there isn't really one website that explains getting into the craft very well.

Here are some links I came across.

Essential items (also has links to models)

Zip Dry can be more useful than Elmer's for some projects

A Bone Folder is useful to have but not essential, can make scoring without leaving marks easier

More info on what to use for paper and some video guides


When I started I made a bunch of Cubees as they were quick and easy to build. As for tips on moving into models, I say once you feel comfortable and you don't mind wasting some ink, just go for it, grab a few models and just build.

When building a model it's important to understand how it's supposed to look in three dimensions as you're building it, download Pepakura Viewer, most if not all models come with a .PDO file, this way you can plan and build your model without having to guess what pieces go where and how.

I will post some links to websites with models, but if you just google papercraft models you should find tons. I'd say don't start out too difficult if you want to not get frustrated, find models that are between 1-3 pages.

Ultimate Papercraft posts a new model every Saturday, but also has a good backlog that is categorized by difficulty

Pokemon Papercraft is a good place to start as well, the creators also usually leave tips for the models that might not be obvious

That's all I can remember off the top of my head, I know there's some good stuff I'm forgetting, I'll post it if comes back to me.

Good luck!

A decent straightedge will not only be hardened to prevent cutting in, but will also use in insert that has a round or rectangular cross section, so it won't damage your blade either.
I have found that I have to be careful when pairing with a cutting mat - a light touch is called for or the mat can redirect the blade. For cutting jobs that need more force I like to use a glass surface and a DuroEdge Safety Ruler (the 25.5" is my favorite). They are harder to find these days, but similar products are easy to track down. Sign shops use them extensively.
For precise work, I like a good cutting mat and one of these acrylic rulers with a square steel edge. (I hope that formatting works for the link - I'm on a phone)

These would be super easy to make especially if you have the right machine - https://www.amazon.com/Binding-Machine-Manual-Operation-BUYOR/dp/B07GDXK1HB/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1541711463&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=binding+machine&psc=1 (Push down to create the hole punch and push back to open up the binding and slide on the paper.)

Based on your dimensions it looks like the previous person may have just been printing out 2 per page then cutting them in half. (8.5/11 page). Hole punching then sliding them on the binders.

​

Now for the covers, they just look like clear binding covers: https://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Binding-Presentation-Covers-52089/dp/B0015ZVXIW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541711751&sr=8-3&keywords=clear+binding+cover

​

And then if you want to be exact I recommend a steady hand or just a standard paper cutter. https://www.amazon.com/Firbon-Scrapbooking-Automatic-Safeguard-Cardstock/dp/B075NYWF5P/ref=sr_1_5?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1541711789&sr=1-5&keywords=paper+cutter

​

You may have to recreate the file itself, but overall easy to do!

​

Hopefully that helps!

​

Edit: And binding combs, which could also just be cut in half with scissors

2nd Edit: The paper, I would personally use a cardstock for the covers, but that would generally be personal preference. The inside you could just use regular paper

Wow, I wasn't even aware of the /po/ board, thanks!

It looks like the clock came from this book, https://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Working-Paper-Clock/dp/0060910666 , but there's plenty of other good stuff available on that thread to work on :-)

Edit: I take it back, the clock came from http://guru2.karakasa.com/pendulum_clock/pcp_e.html , but the design is very similar to the book

u/Helen0rz · 1 pointr/papercraft

You might already have these things, all basic stuff and it's just gonna be a rehash of what I previously mentioned :

Get an xacto knife, basic and you should be able to get it at the local hobby shop or at amazon, very straight forward.

You might need craft tweezers. I have this kit but haven't started on it, but the tweezers can be really help for in tight spots. I have a needle nose kind (not sure that's what you call them) and the curved kind.

Glue, any one glue (like elmers or scotch) will work. There are craft glues you can buy but it's not really necessary

Painting Kiki, brush pens should achieve what you see in the picture. I haven't gotten a set yet so I can't exactly give recs. I have just been utilizing my fine point sharpies and the Sakura brand micro pens

I looked for a bit and the closest thing I have found so far was this. It's newer, but seems pretty cool. The author seems to have a few other papercraft books.

u/timmit99 · 2 pointsr/papercraft

The sidebar has some great info on tools and what to do. Get an exacto knife and plenty of blades, get a self healing cutting mat, get some cardstock to print onto for a sturdy model, get some Aleenes tacky glue. Print the model onto the cardstock and then carefully and slowly cut it out. Fold the tabs, glue with the tacky glue (only takes 30 seconds to a minute to attach firmly) and continue! Take your time and cut as accurately as possible in order to get the best result..

I recommend HP Paper, Premium Choice Laserjet... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000099O2W?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf I use it for calligraphy and papercraft it's very nice and not too thick

u/baddest_buddy · 1 pointr/papercraft

Don't know if it's too late but this book pretty much covers the techniques you need to know to make things your linked images.

Excel Blades #6 Stencil Edge Scoring Blade https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006O5JQA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tUyOBbM89NWD9

Excel Blades #16 Stencil Edge Scoring Blade https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006O5JS8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-VyOBbX85BXYJ

There are a few. Not the exact same blades but close.

I ordered one on amazon a few months ago.

OLFA 5019 SVR-2 9mm Stainless Steel Auto-Lock Utility Knife https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006O87O6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NqQ8BbEWEG8VN

Edit: spelling

u/a1blank · 1 pointr/papercraft

where do you get your resin? I've been buying it from amazon, but they only seem to have small quantities of the quick-cure stuff (eg this and this).

u/ensignricky71 · 1 pointr/papercraft

You might look into dry transfer letters. you can usually get them at craft places. Its a bit of a hassle since you have to do each letter individually but at least your font will be consistent.

u/liquidfury · 1 pointr/papercraft

I have a worry stone that i sometimes use for creasing

u/defjkl · 1 pointr/papercraft

of course not.
It was American who designed, the first kit was released only in Japan.
Now you can buy a pre-cut kit here.

This is ridiculously unique and awesome! Screw anybody that doesn't deem this "real papercraft". It's all about expanding known borders and exploring new styles and techniques.

You may be well aware of the book series "Papercraft: Design and Art with Paper" by die gestalten verlag. I'd wager these models to be prime candidates for a possible third book release.
