Make yourself a giant on your webcam!

While browsing the internets recently, I found an amazing project by ryuji nakamura. A tiny house, cut and folded from paper, that you place over your webcam... that magically turns you into a giant.

This was my first ever attempt at papercrafting, not to mention designing one all by myself, so the project took all of three work days and a ton of prototypes... BUT HERE WE ARE!

Special thanks to PenfoldPlant for showing me Inkscape and saving me (and you!) from less than perfect hand drawn scans, and to SHIFT! for giving me papercrafting advice.

Step 1: What you'll need:

• pdf of papercraft, included below.
• cardstock or other heavy paper in white
• craft knife with a sharp blade
• ruler to help you cut very straight (optional)
• glue and/or tape

That is so cool!!! I would make one if i had a web cam =/. But when i looked the that link and saw that table that really seals the deal. I wonder if like the things they put on pizza so the lid does not touch it would look to scale inside your webcam-house. (I will post a pic of one of those pizza things)

Great first papercraft Jessy!  Hope you don't mind, but after finding some spare blue construction paper I made a few adjustments to your pattern just to make the whole thing seem a bit more....Whovian.

Hahaha, thanks for pointing that out. Edited. ;)

i think you need to put some details like furniture and some texture. and a background picture of lets say lake or city would make it more believable

[xinistrom]

really good, but what about coloring in the insides or summat? make it more..... real :)

Just a small tip here: Even an experienced papercrafter like me had a bit of trouble Xacto-Knifing the windows out. So kids- might want to ask your Mom or Dad's help on those!
