I recently took up this really cool arts and crafts hobby that not many people are into at present. It’s called pepakura.
Pepakura is a paper craft where one creates three dimensional figures from paper. It’s a bit like origami, but unlike the ancient Japanese art of paper art, the figures are not representational. Pepakura figures look like the real thing. If you create a bear, it’s a bear that you’ll see. Pepakura figures can be made by downloading sheets that already contain the figures that you need to cut out and then paste. It’s deceptively simple. But there’s a level of mastery needed to make really beautiful figures. The figures you can make can range from animals, to bikes to spaceships. I’m even making a Millennium Falcon pepakura figure.
