Hey, creators! Got a fun project in mind today?
Say hello to Squirtle, everyone’s favorite little Water-type Pokémon, now ready to pop off the page as an awesome low-poly papercraft! This gem comes straight from the creative mind of David Truong (DTWorkshop), blending Squirtle’s classic cuteness with a cool, geometric vibe that’s totally display-worthy.
Pokémon Day’s Gone, But the Party’s Still On!
Okay, so Pokémon Day (February 27th) just zoomed by—since it’s February 28th, 2025 today—but who says the fun has to stop? Let’s keep the good vibes rolling by crafting our own Squirtle. It’s the perfect way to celebrate, whether you’re still buzzing from yesterday or just jumping in now!
What’s So Cool About This Squirtle Papercraft?
Picture this: once you’re done, Squirtle can stand tall on its tail, looking all dynamic and ready to show off. It’s got that eye-catching low-poly style—sharp edges, bold shapes—that makes it a standout on your shelf. Whether you’ve been a Pokémon fan forever or you’re just dipping your toes into papercraft, this one’s a blast to build.
