Take your time; papercrafts are supposed to be fun and enjoyable. You’ll also get a better-looking craft that you can be proud of.

Keep your hands clean. Sweat, oil, glue, and other miscellaneous liquids can be absorbed by the paper, causing eventual discoloration, erosion, or a poorly constructed model.

Check off the instructions as you complete them so you can always know where you left off. Don’t cross or scribble out instructions or images; you may need to refer back to them if something goes wrong.
