The Easiest Way to Make an Adorable Paper Version of Your Dog

We consider ourselves pretty lucky here at Bark&Co since we get to bring our pups to work every day. Most places, though, aren’t as fortunate. If you’re a lonely hooman without a dog at your feet or if you’re a busy hooman with precocious, crafty kidlets in your life, you should totally check out this book of paper pups.

To make the paper pups, it’s im-paw-ssibly simple. There’s no tape, no glue, or scissors involved. All you do is choose a pup to make and punch them out.

Then, following the creases, fold your pup together and slip the tabs in their respective slots.

This paper pup became a Chihuahua but there are many dogs in the book to choose from. There’s a Foxhound, Bulldog, Welsh Terrier, Pointer, and a German Shepherd– just to name a few. (For the full list, check out the book on Amazon.)

There’s even a teacup Poodle… Inside a teacup!


Here are a few of the pups we made here at the BarkPost. To make your own 3D pups, get the Paper Pups book by Daniel Stark on Amazon!
