Papercraft!

Papercraft is a great way to enjoy your free time. Papercraft is constructing tridimensionals  figures out of paper, similar to Origami, but it doesn't follow the rules of noncutting and no glue. Papercraft is different, because it involves cutting and glue. Well, Papercraft is a great hobby and it is not that hard. There are some really hard Papercrafts but  some are cool and easy. You should be able to make cool Papercrafts if you practice a little with dioramas and simple things.

Expert Papercraft: This will take about a week if you have done a lot of papercraft.(I didn't do this I found it searching the web, if you are interested in doing it search: Howl's Moving Castle Papercraft) 

Easy Papercraft: This is a great papercraft, if you like it do one yourself with this templates:

ORIGAMI

Origami  is an art that origined in Japan. Origami is the art of paperfolding. I really enjoy making origami. It teaches to be perseverant and patient. Perseverant by not giving up when an origami is too hard and patient because some of the origamis take time. 

Here are some easy and impressive origami videos:
