Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Hacomo call it “PUSUPUSU?”
The Japanese name for these paper crafts is プスプス, which is how “PUSUPUSU” is written in Katakana. Katakana is the alphabet mainly used for foreign words or to convey sound effects. For Hacomo, the sound “pusu pusu” is in reference to the soft sound of cardboard when the builder is gently pushing out and assembling the pieces.
How long do PUSUPUSU cardboard crafts take to build?
Generally speaking, simpler designs take approximately 20-30 minutes, while larger, more complex ones can take 1 to 1.5 hours. We recommend clicking on the 3D paper craft you wish to build, which will give more specific estimates and difficulty levels.
What tools do I need to build these paper crafts?
The additional beauty of PUSUPUSU cardboard crafts lies in the simplicity of their design: you don’t need any glue, scissors, or other tools to assemble them, as the building process involves delicately punching out and snugly fitting each piece from the sheet to create the 3D statue. All these paper crafts need is time and a little space set aside to show them off when you’re done!
How big are these 3D paper crafts?
Each model’s specific dimensions depend on what’s being modeled, but most with square-shaped bases are around 80 cm (31 inches) tall and 80 cm wide. Paper model trains are about 335 cm in length, or nearly 11 feet!
