Gangnam Style Paper Machine

Oppan Gangnam Style!

Recently, PSY won the MTV Europe Music Award… Award for the best video. Totally justified, of course!
So I thought I would hop on that train full of dancers and give to the world an idol carved from paper and glue.

***Between 24^th of November and 7^th of January, Santa is in town! You can build him in step 8.***

Watch him in motion in bigger size here: http://kamibox.deviantart.com/art/Gangnam-Style-Machine-Papercraft-337896214

Step 1: Preparation

You need:

• A Printer
• An Internet
• Paper (thick, about 160 g / m² or 5.5oz / m²), Scissors, Glue, Ruler
• To make your work easier, I recommend using a cutter, tweezers, those little pins, and tiny scissors used for cutting out silhouettes.

You can find the instructions here: http://www.kamibox.de/download
Please download the PDF and print at least the second page. Ink is expensive. On that kind of paper, that is twice as thick and heavy as normal paper, the printer options for non-glossy photo paper are usually the best.

The cool picture I learned it at once

you know what? i have asperger's, my daughter as asperger's and we cannot get enough of the gangnam style music! we've got something like 5 versions (parodies and the like) on our youtube playlist - how can you hate something that just makes you feel happy without beating you over the head with social commentary or someone moping and griping about their love life (or lack thereof, thank you, akon).

[Mike44]

You just had to mention the asperger's part....[sigh]

[seouless]

Sorry to burst your bubble but the song and video is a social commentary about the disparate lives that people in Seoul live. GangNam is a very upscale ville in Seoul where image is everything. "Oppa" is a Korean word that means "big brother" in a loose sense of the term in this song and "GangNam Style" could be thought of as the high life. So he is singing about how he is the kind of guy that can be your Sugar Daddy if you are the kind of lady that "drinks coffee". In Korea it is traditionally bad form for women to drink coffee or smoke in public as it is seen offensive.

[Tumunga]

Well, THANK YOU, Miss Debbie Downer. Now I have the urge to go to a coffee shop and brood about the environment...

i did do the wiki on the song but since i don't speak korean, i'll just stay in my happy little bubble thanks.

[tn.]

and yes - this is the perfect addition to our "oppa gangnam style" collection, lol!

I worked in printing for 30 years designing boxes and displays and many other promotional items. I bow to the master. This is just friggin' wonderful though I do understand one hit wonders with a catchy tune. I am living now in the Philippines and the guy who did American Pie, Don McLean, a one hit wonder was touring here last year. That came out when I was 10 and I never really heard his name again until last year. Just a wonderful fun design. You should be proud of this beauty

[M.C. Langer]

Fantastic!!! :-)

[herbidacious]

really neat!

[Nxtfari]

Marvelous. Simply Marvelous.

[kikiorg]

The paper size is different than American standard 8.5"x11". Be sure to check "SCALE TO FIT PAGE" in your print dialog.

We're looking forward to making this with cousins over the Thanksgiving break this week! (And I hope to make others on your website! Very nice work!!)

[kidNeutrino]

this is pretty special, kudos on the gif

[iFirefly]

I remember the first time I saw the original video w/o sound; the first thing that I thought was that the late fearless leader of North Korea had gotten jiggy with it.

[pcgirl]

"an internet" ha ha ha ha!!

[wirenut1980]

Just finished building one. It looks and works great!! Thank you!!

[clewis21]
