This is a digital download — you receive printable files and make the piece yourself. Nothing physical is shipped.

  • A home printer (or a cutting machine)
  • 160–260 gsm card
  • A craft knife or scissors
  • A scoring tool or a blunt knife
  • Glue

Illustrated step-by-step instructions and a video tutorial are included.

Both work. Print the PDF and cut by hand with a craft knife and a steady surface, or send the SVG to a Cricut or Silhouette if you’d rather the machine do the cutting.

A 160–260 gsm card holds the folds crisply without fighting you at the glue stage. Lighter paper folds easily but loses its shape; heavier stock looks lovely but cracks on tight folds.

The download is available the moment checkout completes, and you can download it again any time from your account.

There’s something here for every level. We rate each template on a four-level scale, and the level is marked in every product’s description and specifications, so you can pick one that matches your confidence:

  • Level 1 — Gentle: a great first build, big simple folds, not many of them.
  • Level 2 — Easy-going: a relaxed step up, comfortable for a confident beginner.
  • Level 3 — A proper project: more pieces and finer folds, rewarding a little patience.
  • Level 4 — For experienced folders: an involved build with lots of pieces.

Whatever the level, the numbered pieces and illustrated instructions keep you on track..

Licence questions

Yes. You’re welcome to sell finished pieces you’ve made by hand, with credit to Smaga Paperwood, up to a normal handmade scale.

Yes. Once they’re built, your finished pieces are yours to use as props or décor in photography, and styled events. A credit to Smaga Paperwood — a tag, or a line in the styling credits — is always appreciated.
This covers the pieces you’ve made, not the template files themselves, which stay for your own use.

A simple mention is all we ask — “design by Smaga Paperwood” on a label, or in your social media post, so buyers know where the design came from.

No. The PDF and SVG files are for your own use to build from — please don’t share, resell, or redistribute the files, whether for free or for profit.

Anything beyond handmade scale — batch manufacturing or mass production — is by arrangement. Get in touch and we’ll work out terms together.
