I bought a Kirby Paper Theater kit on a whim, and under the impression it was a peel&stick style kit, but was taken aback when I realized it was a glue type. I've never done one of those before, but this video was JUST the tutorial I needed! Thank you so much!
I picked up a few of these in Japan for friends, family, and myself. I finally opened mine and completely underestimated the difficulty! Didnt even see the diamonds haha, picked 4.5 diamonds for myself. Looks like I'll be buying some supplies for myself and the people that I bought gifts for lol. Thanks for the great tutorial! I feel better prepared already.
This was the perfect guide for a total beginner. Bought a paper theater of Bruno Bucciarati while in Japan and didn't realize how involved it was going to be, but now I feel prepared to build it right 😤
Hi... Hope you don't mind if I took a little bit of this video... Cause I want to show you my anime paper theater... Thank you soo much for teaching me how to install it😊
Just got my first Paper Theater yesterday after considering buying one for a while (I’m in the US so they aren’t super common here!) and I got a really cool looking sort of comic-book style Pokémon one! of course, I realized when I got home that it was the highest level of difficulty 😂 but I’m having a lot of fun with it so far! Thank you for this video- it’s been helping a lot with getting started!
Thank you for the detailed tutorial! It looks quite complicated when its coming straight out of the box, but with your video I should be able to do it :) also, you have a very soothing voice 😇
Just a got a level 4 Zoro from One Piece one. I never did this before but this image was too cool. This video is really helpful and I’m about to start now wml!
My brother bought me a Pompompurin one when he went to japan and it took me less than an hour to complete, hardest part was inserting the pegs to assemble everything together lol. I would love to collect more of these but when I looked online it was kinda expensive ;-;
Great timing on this video! I recently found this little hobby thanks to my wife and her Kirby obsession. I ended up using Elmer's Craft Bond on a small plastic pallette and a very thin paintbrush for the glue, and a ceramic safety blade was good enough to detach the pieces from the boards. After being engrossed in Gundam kits for the last year or so, having to use glue was a bit surprising. Are there any other good craft glues I could find in the US for this? I liked the Elmer's but it felt a bit too gooey and stringy over the course of applying, and it was very easy to apply too much and have my pieces slide around a bit while attaching.
Thanks for sharing! I am so happy you found this hobby! I would suggest using a toothpick instead of a paintbrush so you have more control over the amount of glue. OR you can possibly look into getting a needle tip applicator and putting glue in it so you have more precision. Let me know what works!
I bought a Nezuko Paper Theatre from Gamestop a few years ago, for only $5. And I didn't know glue was required for these. Also, thanks for telling me what kind of glue to use, since I only have Gorilla super glue(as of this comment) Which I assume is the wrong glue for paper theatres?
Hello, thank you for your comment! I would advise not to use super glue for this! The glue would definitely get everywhere and I don’t think would absorb well with this. Any wood or paper glue will work fine and you can use a toothpick or cotton swab for application :)
@@umamihobby Thought so, thanks for the confirmation. Also before I forget, where can I find clear cases for paper theatres? And what's the average price for them? I'm in Canada BTW.
I am not sure where to find them in Canada but you can try eBay or Amazon. Look up “Ensky paper theater display case” and see if that comes up for you!
I'm so sad becaue lately, the selection has been smaller and smaller since I recorded this video :( They haven't been coming out with new ones in the store lately.
Technically, paper theatre has its roots in the Victorian era. Plays and opera houses would sell paper toy theatres to publicize their works and earn extra $$$ as well!!!!
@@umamihobby hey I just finished my first one (dark magician). Borders were really hard and paranoid about messing up I found putting it all together and then gluing stuff in seemed great. The only thing I didn’t glue was the front piece just because I wanted the cleanest finish. Hope I don’t regret it

I did not know that there is a paper theatre aimed at nerds!
The glue is sold out. Any US alternatives I can use you'd recommend?
Any glue that is meant for paper or wood will work and preferably dry clear :) Mod podge might be an option. Or maybe Elmers 🤔
Any with a thin tip or brush option for precision?@@umamihobby
There's way more in that local store than I've seen online - I really want to buy more
