Hard as stone





We kind of went though the basics of where you need to cut out pieces and glue them together, but what can you do to make the finished product more sturdy and to make it last longer ? Some people use wanish, foam or polish to make their crafts sturdier, but I find these things deform the shape and destory colors of the printed paper, so I do not use these methods. I have my own tricks for these kinds of things



For instance, if I want to make a papercraft last really long and make sure it will not deform even if it accidentaly falls on the floor, is by filling out the inner part of the papercraft. Reinforce it! As you know you always have left-over paper from the printed templates you used to cut out the pieces, so why waste that paper and throw it away if you can use it to fill the papercraft?!







As you can see in the picture, I always fill out parts of the papercraft I already assembled, like I finished the head, so I immedietly fill that with crumbed-up leftover paper, putting small dots of glue on them, so they stick in there and don’t fall out even when I build the remaining parts of the same papercraft. Smaller balls for the smaller pieces, bigger ones for the bigger pieces, and it fills out the whole space like that. This is a super tip to make your papercraft last longer, so they never deform and make them sturdier at the same time, without having to repaint the textures of the papercraft. Try it out !
