Try Cutting and Pasting by Hand

Remember back in elementary school all those cut and paste projects you would do for class? The joy of folding, pasting, and seeing your creation slowly come to life doesn’t have to end now that you’re in an office for 9 hours a day. Papercraft is sweeping the intertubes and you too can have your own little paper buddy to keep you company during those long days at work. The creative team at Gloo Digital Designs has designed a simple flash app that lets you customize and print a cute Gloo Man (or Woman). All you have to do is print, cut, and paste.

But maybe you’re feeling a little more up to the challenge. Papercraft ranges from very simple and basic designs to extremely detailed and time consuming ones. A simple google search will lead you tons of sites providing ready to print designs and instructions. One of my favorites is Advance Wars Bunker. The first little tank took me 5 hours to build and I can’t wait to complete the entire army and invade the space here in the office.
