Paperarium

Ever since I was little, I have been a practitioner of papercrafting, a simple process through which a 3D model can be projected onto a 2D paper template with tabs and then printed, cut, folded, and glued back together to be recreated physically. In an effort to save the work of the papercrafting community that has largely died out since its peak in the early 2010s, I created Paperarium.

The project is an archive and communal space for hosting the files needed to build the crafts and to share some of the best work from that period. It hosts files and codifies the relationships between old contributors across many different blogs and forums.

The archival process is still ongoing.
