How to Design and Print Tiny Papercraft Models of Your Favorite Minecraft Characters Using Your iPhone

A couple of months ago we showed you Foldify, an iOS app that allows you to create your own custom, foldable, 3D papercraft files. Your designs could then be sent to your printer, cut out, and assembled.

Now, 57Digital Ltd has followed the same concept with their new iOS app, Minecraft Papercraft Studio.

Like Foldify, Minecraft Papercraft Studio allows you to browse through thousands (actually, over 300,000!) of Minecraft skins—or import your own skin by entering your Minecraft username.

From there, you can simply send your design to your printer and cut it out and fold. The process is all very simple, requiring only scissors, glue and a steady hand.

If you want to design your own Minecraft skins, you'll need to additionally download Minecraft Skin Studio. With this app, you'll be able to fully customize your character, view your creations in 3D, discuss, like or dislike other users skins, and share your creations with your friends on Facebook.
