Release date: ‎ 2022/8/16
Language ‏ : ‎ Japanese
Book: ‎ 144 pages

"Paper Puppet Girl" or "PEPAKO" is a paper puppet that you control by hand.
By moving the wire attached to the back, you can make it wave its hands, blink, move its mouth as if it's talking, and perform other cute, smooth movements that are just like animation.
It only requires three materials: paper, wire, and tape!
This book provides clear, detailed instructions on how to assemble "PEPAKO" and how to actually move it.
It covers everything from basic movements like "shaking its head" and "blinking" to more advanced, complex movements, and even more complex, flashy gimmicks for the advanced level.
Includes 12 patterns for works + special thick paper patterns!
