Build something out of paper this weekend.
Every model here is a free PDF you print at home. Want to skip the cutting? Sticksy sells the same models as kits, cut and scored before they reach you.

Same model. You decide how much of the work you want.
The PDF template
Download the template, print it on cardstock, then cut, score and glue. A printer, a craft knife and a free evening will get you there.
- Download straight away, no account needed
- Prints on A4 or Letter cardstock
- Reprint a page if a part goes wrong
Precut and prescored
The same model with the slow part already done. Sticksy cuts and scores every piece, so you open the box and go straight to folding and gluing.
- Every piece already cut out
- Fold lines already scored
- Step by step instructions for that model

Skip the cutting.
Cutting is the slowest part of any build. A Sticksy kit arrives with every piece cut out and every fold scored, along with instructions that walk you through the assembly.
- 01
Precut pieces
Every part is cut out before it ships, down to the small inside corners.
- 02
Prescored folds
Fold lines are already scored, so edges come out straight on the first try.
- 03
Step by step instructions
A build guide written for that exact model, in the order that works.

Cardstock included
Printed on the right weight of paper, so there is nothing to buy or test.
Good to know
Are the templates really free?
Yes. Every model has a PDF you can download without an account. The kits are the paid part, and they are optional.
What paper should I use?
Cardstock between 160 and 230 gsm. Regular office paper is too soft to hold a shape, and anything much heavier is hard to fold cleanly.
Do I need a special printer?
No. Any home inkjet or laser printer works as long as it can feed cardstock. Print at 100% scale and turn off "fit to page".
What comes in a Sticksy kit?
The pieces for one model, already cut and scored, plus step by step instructions. All you add is glue.
How long does a model take?
It depends on the model. Each one lists its piece count and a rough build time, so you know what you are signing up for before you print.
