Hello, fellow creators of Paper Iconic! Are you ready for another exciting project today?
Today on Paper Iconic, I am introducing a delightful Christmas classic: the Flying Santa Automata Papercraft by Giuseppe "Pino" Civitarese. This papercraft was released more than 20 years ago, yet its charm and mechanical creativity still feel as fresh as ever. It is a wonderful reminder of how timeless a well-designed automata can be.
The template includes 53 cut and assemble parts spread across 7 pages. When fully built, the model stands at 23 cm tall, 14 cm wide, and 18 cm deep. The magic of this automata comes alive the moment you turn the crank. As the mechanism moves, the sleigh begins to flap its wings and bob gently, creating the illusion of flight. Inside the vehicle, Santa Claus sits in the front seat, while the two reindeer passengers occupy the back row alongside several gift boxes. The entire scene feels playful, surprising, and full of festive personality.
Grab the Flying Santa Automata papercraft template today to begin your creative journey! Shout out to Giuseppe "Pino" Civitarese for sharing this project.
