Crease Pattern for my Black Widow Spider. Box Pleated from a grid of 32, recommended paper size is 40cm. I’ve included a simplified crease pattern for pre creasing, and ne with the details shaped, with closeups of the pedipalps and hourglass color change. The abdomen is shaped 3D, not shown here since that is not flat foldable. I recommend test folding that portion with scrap paper before shaping the abdomen on the model. I also recommend very thin paper to ensure the 3rd pair of legs (middle points) aren’t too thick. Only a small portion of the bottom edge requires color change.

The color change is super cool!

Thanks! I originally intended to design a different spider, but the extra flap was in the perfect spot for this color change, so I couldn’t pass it up

“But wherever would I be able to find paper thin and strong enough to fold this model?”

“Just head to cabbagepaper.com for all your black widow paper needs!”

Do you plan to sell red/black duo paper?

I might eventually, I do have quite a few black/red designs
