The first is where you have only a front side and it is glued to cardboard and then you use a stand, the next is where you have a front and a back of the character or creature that look the same and you fold them over and glue them to a base, the last way and probably my favorite is where you have a front and a back, but the back of the creature is blurry and black and white, so it is obvious it is the back, unless you happen to have artwork for the back of your character. There are three different methods I use for creating paper minis. Now let's add some artwork and resize it. :)įollow the steps below or watch the video tutorial or do both. If you have any questions or comments leave them down below and I will get back to you as soon as I can. They are easy to make if I can make them, you can make them, let's get started!ĭon't forget to follow me and check out my other instructables. They do take a little bit of time, but most of that time can be spent working in front of the TV, so you can kill two birds with one stone. I always have tons of monsters and characters in my adventures/campaign so I wanted to create paper minis so it was lighter on the pocketbook. If you are running an adventure with very few monsters, it may not be too expensive to spend some money and buy some. There are some awesome miniatures that you can buy which usually cost anywhere from 3 to 4 dollars to 60 to 100 for dragons, etc.
I grew up playing D&D with my brothers and still play the popular role playing game today with friends and family members. The same idea could be used with Pathfinder or Warhammer or any other type of role playing game that uses minis, not just D&D minis.
In this instructable I will show you how to make awesome Dungeons and Dragons Paper Miniatures.
