A playful pug that comes to life in your hands
It’s impossible to resist this pug caught in the middle of playtime. Body leaning forward, alert eyes, tongue ready to pop out: everything about this model radiates energy and mischief. With each cut and fold, an expressive, almost lifelike dog gradually takes shape, instantly drawing attention once displayed.
This 3D papercraft, also known as stand-alone 3D origami, is built from 13 pages carefully organized by color. Assembly requires focus, but every step is rewarding. The final result is a compact, well-balanced pug measuring approximately 230 mm in height, 160 mm in width, and 230 mm in depth.
A play of colors for an expressive finish
The model uses several shades to enhance the dog’s volumes and details. The pages are divided among different colors: main body, head, legs, tail, muzzle, eyes, tongue, and small decorative elements. This color work enhances realism and gives the pug its unique personality.
A creative challenge for paper craft enthusiasts
With its fairly high difficulty level, this pug is made for those who enjoy taking their time. Plan around 6 hours of assembly to build the different sections, often as sub-assemblies, before putting everything together. A true moment of focus—almost meditative.
