No, just ordinary paper cardstock available from high street stationers and craft shops. The templates are fully compatible with both US Letter and International A4 format paper.

Card stock is available in various sizes, colours, textures and finishes from stationery and craft shops. Part of your fun in the creation process is to choose your own colour scheme. Card stock is often classed by weight in GSM which stands for grammes per square metre.

Unfortunately a few home printers have difficulty with heavier cardstock. If you are unlucky this way, you have the options to either get the template printed at your local copy shop or try using a lighter cardstock that your printer can process.

In the assembly guide for our sculptures we will suggest a particular cardstock weight based on our own experience of building the sculpture shown in our photographs. This is just a suggestion, if the suggested cardstock is not available, use whatever paper and cardstock you have to hand and see how you get on. However using heavier cardstock will give you a sturdier finished sculpture, while using lighter cardstock will mean a less durable result.

There two alternative ways to stick your sculpture together. If you want to use glue, we recommend that you use a white glue that turns clear when it has dried. PVA-type glues such as Mod Podge or Elmer’s Glue-All are ideal. We have a short video showing how to assemble a sculpture with glue at https://youtu.be/k9j8HYASC4g

If you prefer, high-tack double-sided adhesive tape can be used instead of glue. We use this method when we are assembling sculptures which use speciality materials such as glitter or metallic-finish cardstock which can be difficult to bond with PVA glue. Unlike glue, tape bonds instantaneously so you may find that you can assemble your sculpture faster and more neatly by using tape but this method is more expensive.

This will vary as some crafters are more experienced than others and some sculptures are more challenging than others. We give each sculpture a difficulty rating running from 1 to 5. (1 is easy and suitable for novice papercrafters, 5 is challenging and aimed at experienced papercrafters). Each item listing will tell you an estimate of the difficulty level and assembly time.
