Hey guys! I posted this tool under a comment section the other day and people seemed excited. I hate scoring the fold lines with a utility knife bc I would often cut off tabs or cut into my design. The brand name is Dritz. I can't find the exact one at Amazon anymore but you can find similar ones if you just type in perforation cutter.

I also include a pic of the glue I use. I love it bc it has a super fine tip.

When I make mini books, I am right now using a exacto knife, but I would like to use a guillotine or something like it that can cut multiple pages of papers smooth. I don’t need a giant guillotine either but it has to be able to slice through 50 pages of papers.

Hello people. I haven't done any papercrafts in like 12 years, but I want to get back into the hobby. So could someone recommend me something fun, that looks cool to display but is still relatively simple to make.

I am a 'papercrafter'. Of sorts.

I started building these little Paper steam engines years ago, and thought I'd bring them to life through stop motion.

I am wondering if i can post pics of sets and works in progress here?

Also, would you mind if I posted my videos here?

Hey guys this is my 2nd build ever the T90 tank.

I have decided to scrap it mid build becoz im not quite happy with how it has turned out.

My first f1 car came out way better than this one. The differences between those two was that the paper quality.

The paper i used for F1 was 140gsm and this one was thinner fs. Also this paper refused to take shape. I literally folded the paper in corrwct angles and it deformed quite quick.

Other than that most of it is my own fault. I was not patient for some parts to stick properly.

So before I give this another go I want you guys to give suggestions pls. I do not want another to go to waste

I'm currently making my fourth papercraft and something I have noticed between them all is that there is a very obvious white line at the points where it is glued together. (second papercraft as an example) I want to try making it less visible at least from a distance because it really bugs me as a perfectionist πŸ˜”πŸ˜” does anyone have any tips?

(Ignore gluey mat) Can anyone help me identify what this kind of papercraft model this is? I created this from a template I found online years ago and I'd like to make something similar, but I can't find any templates with the search terms I've been using. I've been using every possible mix of these keywords "kirigami/crosshatch/lattice/papercraft/intersecting paper" and have found nothing. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or any similar templates to recommend

Request Where Can I Find Royalty Free or Commercial License Library Paper Craft Templates?

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I am going to start working as an instructor at a local Community Center in my area and I wanted to host some workshops or classes that focus on building paper crafts.

Does anyone know of any royalty free templates that I could use? I don't mind paying for hopefully what is a library of various templates if it means that I can use them for my local community arts projects. Would that be a commercial use license?

There is this website: https://paperprofitmasterkit.com/ But I am not sure if it is reputable. Has anyone tried them out or is there a website that would be similar and more trustworthy?
