Medieval Village Paper Models
Although this papercraft medieval village called "Inglemere" was created for use in RPG gaming, I can see it also being used during the holiday season as a Christmas village. I really like the bold graphics! Except for the well, all of the components were designed by DeviantART member MadunTwoSwords. The printable templates for the village may be downloaded here. The collection of buildings includes a well, a bridge, a cottage, a tall house, a tower, a barn, fences, coniferous trees, deciduous trees, and even some forest critters.

Star Wars Papercraft: Captain Phasma Helmet
Captain Phasma is one of my favorite characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, so I was happy to find this paper model of her helmet. The model comes in two sizes: life size and a scaled down version. The PDF templates for the helmet may be downloaded here. Captain Phasma is played by actress Gwendoline Christie who also stars in HBO's Game of Thrones as Brienne of Tarth.

The crease pattern for this origami is available on Michelle's website.

Plants vs Zombies Papercraft
The Paper vs Zombies blog hasn't posted any new Plants vs Zombies paper models since 2014. However, as of today's date, downloads of all their papercraft templates are still available. The models aren't easy to build, but if you are skilled enough to pull them off, the results are fabulous. Each of the paper video game characters was created from scratch using 3DS Max, Pepakura Designer, and Photoshop. If you are interested in building any of the models in this collection, download them now! You never know when they will be gone for good.

Lego Thor Papercraft
This paper model of Marvel Comic's Thor is not much larger than the Lego Thor on which the model is based. Amazingly, the paper version is just as pose-able as a real Lego character. Due to the size of the model, extensive use of tweezers was required in its construction. Thor and many other papercraft Lego Avengers maybe downloaded from Yobee's Papercaft.

Trojan Horse Paper Toy
In 2010 this cute Trojan horse paper toy was released as a promotional item to advertise the Nintendo DS video game, Glory of Heracles.

Disney Princess Leia Papercraft
After Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012, there was a lot of jokes about whether Princess Leia would become an official Disney Princess or not. As it turns out, Leia was designated a "Disney Heroine" instead. Be that as it may, those who have built the official papercraft Disney princesses can now add Leia to their collection. This unofficial papercraft Princess Leia was designed by Kelly Delanty who also created several of the official papercraft princesses for Disney, so the model is pretty much guaranteed to match the official collection. The PDF template for Delanty's model may be downloaded here.

New to the set are are Kenzie, Saxon, and Celanawe (the three rightmost mice in the photo). Previously released were Lieam and Sadie. Free PDF templates for all five mice may be downloaded here. It is a very cool thing when comic book artists produce papercraft of their own characters!

Origami Crown
I thought this origami crown was a great idea. It is a simple, glue-less way to make royal headgear for those play times when your child wants to play-act being a prince or princess. The size of the finished crown depends on the size of the square of paper used. A 26" x 26" (67 cm x 67 cm) square of paper produces a crown with a diameter of 7.87" (20 cm). Step by step instructions for folding the crown are located here.
