[Crafts] One Coin Figures Display + Photos
In case anyone here has the One Coin figures and either doesn't want to cut up their box or doesn't have the display box, I've come up with this solution!
I scanned the display image at a decent, printable size, should be about the size of the actual one on the box, translated the bit of Japanese on it, and uploaded the PDF so anyone can print and make their own. It's not super shiny like the box, but it works.
Cuts are kinda Image Heavy! Sorry!

Materials
1. A sheet of cardboard
2. Scissors or an x-acto knife/box cutter
3. Some sort of adhesive
This is pretty easy to make, but just in case...
Instructions
1. Open the PDF file. Print. Easy!
2. Cut out the square from your printout. Easy.
3. The paper isn't strong enough to support the figures, so you need to reinforce it with some cardboard. Do not use corrugated cardboard, but something thin. I used the back of an old notebook from school.
Cut the cardboard the same size as the printout square.
4. Place the print out over the cut cardboard. Do not glue/tape them together yet. Get out your tool with a sharp blade (an x-acto knife or box cutter works best, and cut the solid lines through the print out and the cardboard. Don't worry about making it go all the way through the cardboard right away, do step 5 before lifting the print out up.
5. Like with making paper crafts, take a blunt, non-writing object, and trace the dotted lines to indent where the folds will be. Make sure you press hard enough to indent the cardboard too. I just used the plastic end of the figures'dancing pole.
6. Remove the print out and finish cutting through the cardboard if it didn't cut through all the way.
7. Now you need to fold. You want to fold the middle part forward, and the outsides backward. Do this for both the cardboard and the print out. You can use your sharp tool to lightly cut part of the cardboard to make it easier to bend, but don't cut all the way through.
They should end up looking like this:
8. Finally you need to glue or tape your print out to the cardboard stand. I suggest using a glue stick or something like a Tombow Mono Adhesive applicator, so you don't warp the paper with wet glue or have bumps from tape. Depends how picky you are, I guess.
And then you should be done!
Also, since I just got my One Coin figures today, I just had to take photos~!

Hooray for Display Stand!!
Couple closeups with coasters. These are the only two that turned out.
Outdoors!! I would've taken more outdoor shots, but the black flies were trying to swarm on me. Bad bitey bugs. D:
In... a doll house?? I apologize for the lighting being so bad. My doll house is in the basement. =_=;;
