Paper Crafts are also known as paper models or card models. They involve cutting, folding, and gluing paper together to form 3D sculptures, in this case, Pokémon. The crafts have a range of skill level as well. Easier models will have fewer folds, and less complicated methods of piecing parts together. There is a blog dedicated to Pokémon papercrafting called PaperPokés. You can visit their page here. You can download the printable images for creating these paper crafts. If you make one, feel free to submit it and we'll feature it in the next issue!

Paper crafting is a bit different from origami though! With origami, the paper shouldn't ever be cut or glued. The final shapes for origami creations are often more 2D than 3D (depending on how complex the figure is of course)
