  Step 1

  I found a Danbo papercraft pattern, and it's very nice, because your Danbo has mobility!

  Template part 1

• 

  Step 2

  First of all, you've to print the papercraft template out. You can either print it out on a card or on an A4 paper and then glue the paper with the template on a cardboard. You can also directly print it out on an A4 paper and make the Danbo, but then your Danbo would be very fragile.

  Template Part 2

• 

  Step 3

  Cut out the pieces carefully with a cutter or a scissor...

• 

  Step 4

  Cut out 16 and glue along the lid and glue it together. That's the base of the arm.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut out 3 and fold along the lines. And glue the sides to the side on the base of the arm you've made in step 1. Repeat this for the other arm.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut out 06 and fold the "teeths" and the white flap. Glue the white flap to the other end of the same paper. So you will have a sort of ring. Put glue on the "teeths" and glue 07 on it. Do the same for the other side of the same ring. You should have 2 little cylinders.Then cut out 9 and glue it together. Now put the cylinder you've made before in 9, it should fit nicely. (Don't glue it though!) Roll the longer part of 9 which you haven't glued yet, around the cylinder and glue it on the end of it. Make sure you don't glue the cylinder. The cylinder should be able to move if you roll it. This is the joint for the arm.

• 

  Step 7

  Assemble the base of the arm and the joint of the arm together, by glueing the 2 sides of the cylinder on 3.

• 

  Step 8

  Cut out the circle (on 08) and cut out 10. On the circle 10 you see a cross, follow the cross with a cutter, so you will get 4 flaps. Fold the flaps upwards, so the white paper is visible. Put 10 under the hole you've cut out in 08 without using glue (just make sure the fold are visible). Put glue on the white flaps (make sure the glue doesn't come on else where) and then glue 11 on it.

• 

  Step 9

  << this image might help if you don't get what I mean. Do the same thing with the two other holes on the body. This time wtih 18 and 19.

• 

  Step 10

  Then glue the body together.

• 

  Step 11

  Glue the arms on the sides of the body. The arms should be able to turn and go upwards and downwards now.

• 

  Step 12

  Make 2 cylinders again, but this time with 14 & 15. Also cut out 13. Do the same as in step 6. But this time, you've to place 2 cylinders.

  Cut out 12 and fold both. Glue each on the sides of the cylinders

• 

  Step 13

  Glue what you've made in step 12 on the top of the body. This is joint for the head.

• 

  Step 14

  Cut 04 & 01 out. Cut out the eyes in 01 and glue 04 behind it. (Can skip this if you want to, it just gives depth to the eyes, I would not recommend this if you're making it on paper.) Then glue the head together.

• 

  Step 15

  Glue the head on the top of the joint of the head. (What you've made in step 13) You're head should be able to turn and go upwards and downwards now.

• 

  Step 16

  Cut out 02 and glue it together, but leave the long part

  Cut out 17 & 5 and make the cylinder. Put the cylinder on.... and glue the long part. Make sure the cylinder can roll if you turn it. Now you've the feet.

• 

  Step 17

  At last glue the two sides of the cylinder of feet and attach it in the body.

• 

  Step 18

  Now you have a Danbo <3

I made the Danbo. It turned out to be easier to make than it look.
But it didn't take me 30 mins to make, it took me a few hours to make it. And It was worth it!
