What paper is best for the mushroom?

Thin card of 160–220 g/m² holds its shape and still folds cleanly. Plain 80 g/m² office paper works for a first try, but the model will be softer.

How long does it take to build?

Usually 1–3 hours, depending on the size and the number of parts. Bigger models are easier to glue; smaller ones need tweezers.

Can I make it bigger or in another style?

Yes. Change the size in the Model step: the parts are laid out again on as few sheets as possible. You can also make it from stacked card slices or a waffle frame instead of a folded model.

Mushroom Papercraft Template

A free low-poly mushroom paper model: print the PDF template, cut, fold and glue. Change the size, colours and sheets in your browser.

How to use

1The mushroom is already unfolded on the sheets (about 13 cm tall by default). Set the real size you want in the Model step.
2Optionally give the parts colour, change the paper size (A4, Letter, A3) or move parts on the sheets by hand.
3Download the PDF and print it at 100 % (“Actual size”). Check the 5 × 5 cm test square.
4Cut the parts out, score and fold the lines (dash-dot — away from you, dashed — towards you) and glue the edges with the same numbers. The first page of the PDF shows which part goes where; “Step by step” shows it in 3D.
