You’ve probably heard of origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, and a few years ago I wrote about the newer Japanese craze of 3D paper models known as “paper craft” in Japanese Paper Beer. I just came across another one, this time it’s a paper mug of beer — called “Mr. Beer” or “Beer-Kun” — that you can download and build for yourself. If you’re looking for a project or something to do this weekend, here you go. Go to either Tamasoft or Cheek Patch to see the steps and also where you can find a link to the pdf to download as a pdf. Both websites are in Japanese but can easily be translated with the right browser.

This is what it should look like when you’re done.

After you download the zip file, print out the pdf and then carefully cut out all of the pieces. You should then have all of these separate pieces, ready to build your mug. Have fun.
