To "put together" a paper model after downloading a template, you can follow this general 5-step method commonly used in high-quality 3D origami and low-poly papercrafting:
: Carefully cut out each part of the model along the solid outer lines. Using a craft knife and a ruler can help achieve cleaner, more precise edges than scissors.
: Use a small amount of glue on the tabs. It is better to apply less glue than more, as it only sticks effectively once it begins to dry.
