A Squirtle papercraft that comes to life in your hands
It all starts with a few sheets of paper. Then, very quickly, the magic happens. With each cut and fold, Squirtle takes shape, settles in, and gains volume. Its shell, mischievous gaze, and instantly recognizable stance… every element naturally falls into place. This Squirtle 3D origami papercraft is made for those who enjoy creating at a measured pace, with precision, and savoring every step of the build.
Once assembled, the model has a real presence, standing 260 mm tall, 155 mm wide, and 250 mm deep. Ideal dimensions for a striking decorative piece on a shelf, desk, or at the heart of a Pokémon-inspired collection.
A model designed for the joy of building
The model is made up of 7 sheets, organized by color to faithfully reflect the character’s appearance. You’ll work with 4 blue sheets for the body and head, 1 gray sheet for specific volumes, 1 white sheet for contrast, and 1 black sheet for visual details. This color combination instantly adds depth and enhances the 3D effect.
The difficulty level is medium. In other words, the build remains accessible while still offering a genuine creative challenge—perfect if you enjoy taking your time, carefully following each step, and watching the model evolve piece by piece.
