Go on the original page and download one of the two designs at the bottom of the page. The ColourPaper version is for people who want to print on coloured paper. The ColourPrint version is for those on white paper.

Then scroll up the page intil you reach the big red text and click on that. This is the original tutorial page but Google doesn't translate it well and misses out big chunks of important stuff.

My tutorial (You must follow the pictures on the original):

1. Cut out No.16, score/bend along the lines and glue the tabs as shown in the picture. NOTE: when gluing you only need a small amout or you will have an ugly looking Danbo with easyily rippable joints.

2. Cut out No.3 and score/bend the lines so it makes an E sorta shape. Then Apply glue to the outer curved parts and glue to the inside of the arm as the picture shows.

3. Cut 06, score/bend and glue all tabs to No.7 so it make a cylinder shape. Make shape No.9 as the pictures shows and put the cylinder into the curved part of No.9, then bend over the long piece of paper and glue it to the blank flat side to the left/right of the cylinder.

4. I'm sure you get the idea by now so I'm skipping to step 5. (Heres Google's translated version, not too hard to work out until step five)

5. This is how you do step 5.



Glue the small tabs that stick through the body to the circle on the other side. That makes a moveable wheel so you can move the arms.

You must do that to all three that the tutorial displays.

You can follow the translated version with the numbers up until step 10.

6. On step 10 cut the circles of the eyes out and behind (inside the head) glue the two black squares so the eyes are now black. This is just to give some depth to the eyes.

7. Following the translated version is easy now, just use the numbers in the guide.

Enjoy




Danbo

Instructions

Sorry for the blurry images.

(1) 16
Glue together number 16 to create an arm.
Inside there is a notch.


(2) (1) + 03
Make a joint out of 03.
Cut 03, bend along lines to form C shape, and glue into position, just behind the notch.


(3) 06 + 07 and then held by 09
Make the shoulder pivot by gluing the white part of 06 to the opposite end of the strip, bending the notches round the edge of it and then gluing on 07.
Then put that cylindrical shape into 09, which you have glued together already.


(4) (02) + (03)
Put the arm onto the shoulder
Put the straighter edge of the pivot where the gap in the arm is.


(5) 08 + 10 + 11 + 18 + 19
Glue together the body (08) and cut up to where the first slit is at the bottom of it.
I’m not sure that I got this right, but I cut out the notch things at the centre of 18 and twisted them out, so the white bits were facing forwards, I then stuck the two 18s over the arm sides of the body and, on top of them, glued on the 19s. I did the same kind of thing for the head, but obviously I used 10 (instead of 18) and 11 (instead of 19).




(6) (4) + (5)
Glue the shoulder pivots onto the recently placed 19s.

　
(7)　 15 + 14 + 13
Create a neck joint.
This is quite easy… all you have to do is put together the 15s and 14s (just like you did in part (3) ) and push them into the glued up 13.


(8) (7) + 12
Create a movable neck pivot!
Make a U shape out of the 12s and glue onto (7) as in the example.


(9) (06) + (08)
Making a neck.
Line one U shape up with the top of the body (as in the example) and glue on.


(10) 01+04
Making the head.
Glue together all the joints and make the top look like a cardboard box (I did this using sellotape).


(11) (9) + (10)
Putting the head on.
Glue the neck pivot to the centre of the head as carefully as possible.


(12) 02
Making the feet.
Glue together all the joints of the 2s.


(13) 17 + 05 + (12)
Making the leg joint.
Make a cylinder out of 17 and 05 and wrap in (12) (just like in (3) and (7))


(14) (11) + (13)
Putting the legs on.
Glue the ends of (13)s cylinder to the edges of the inside of the body, just above where you made the slits.





Well done! You have created your Danbo!
