I’m new to doing paper craft and wanted to start with the snow miku 2012, but I’m having trouble cutting and knowing where I’m supposed to cut.
Are there any tutorials I can see a list of materials or things I should know about?
Thanks!

Hey! The tools I use for cutting are mainly X-acto knives or scissors. I prefer using scissors for more control and faster cutting. You must cut on the black lines of the pieces as shown in this image (cut on the cut line and respect the fold lines - that's the thumb rule)

I'll be making more papercraft tutorials, but you can refer to this video for now. Hope this helps!

Do you also know perhaps any tips for folding or knowing how much should I fold?
The lines help but don’t know if once I glue it it folds into place or if I have to make any precisions

usually there two different type of lines. here a link that shows the type of lines. paperpoly.com
there is also a technique if the papercraft have curly parts. we use roller or pencil on it to give it subtle curl.
