A paper dachshund that comes to life in your hands
It all starts with a few sheets of paper, a bit of patience… and the desire to create. Little by little, the shapes interlock, volumes take form, and this 3D origami dachshund quite literally emerges from the paper. Its elongated silhouette, expressive look, and realistic proportions make it a decorative piece that instantly catches the eye.
Designed to be as enjoyable to assemble as it is to display, this model offers a true moment of disconnection. You cut, you fold, you glue. The motions are repetitive, almost meditative. And in the end, the satisfaction is real : an iconic dog, reimagined in 3D papercraft, ready to take pride of place on a shelf or desk.
Technical details and model structure
Once assembled, the dachshund features generous dimensions : 335 mm in height, 600 mm in width, and 140 mm in depth. The pattern consists of 11 pages, organized into two complementary color sets :
- Color A – Black : pages 1 to 8
- Color B – Brown : pages 9 to 11
This layout adds contrast and highlights the body’s volumes, while making assembly more intuitive thanks to alphabetical part labeling.
A creative project with balanced difficulty
Rated at a medium difficulty, this paper dachshund is ideal for craft lovers who enjoy taking their time. The assembly follows a clear, step-by-step logic without ever becoming monotonous. Technical enough to be rewarding, accessible enough to remain enjoyable.
