Hello, fellow creators of Paper Iconic! Are you ready for another exciting project today?
Every year on November 5, the UK celebrates Guy Fawkes Night, remembering the failed Gunpowder Treason from over four centuries ago. This year’s celebration arrives with extra buzz as sources have revealed that HBO and James Gunn are developing a new V for Vendetta TV series, reviving the story that turned Guy Fawkes into a modern anti-hero.
And what better way to join the moment than by crafting his iconic smile? Meet the low poly Guy Fawkes mask papercraft by PaperJutsu, a simple and stylish build that connects history, culture, and creativity in one project.
This model only needs 3 sheets of paper and about 90 minutes to assemble. Stick with the classic white-and-black look, or experiment with your own colors for a personal touch. If you’re new to papercraft, don’t worry. Follow the assembly video tutorial below and you’ll have your mask ready in no time.
The Man Behind the Mask
In 1605, Guy Fawkes and a group of Catholics tried to blow up the House of Lords to assassinate King James I, who enforced Protestant worship and strict laws against Catholics. The plan was discovered just hours before it could happen, and Fawkes was caught while guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder.
Centuries later, his image inspired Alan Moore and David Lloyd’s V for Vendetta, and the 2006 film adaptation made the mask a worldwide icon, now seen in protests, cosplay, and popular culture everywhere. The face once tied to rebellion has become a symbol of expression and individuality, and now, a piece of papercraft you can make by yourself.
