From My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away to Howl’s Moving Castle and Kiki’s Delivery Service, Studio Ghibli is responsible for some of the most beloved animated films of the past fifty years. Plenty of merch has been released for the iconic movies, but few are as adorable as these papercraft decorations–which are both affordable and will make for great display pieces in your home theater or office.
If you’re unfamiliar with papercraft, they’re essentially a buildable kit that lets you piece together a scene using nothing more than premium art paper. You typically don’t need any fancy tools to complete their construction other than some tweezers, scissors or blade, and glue, and each kit comes with all the paper you’ll need to build your masterpiece.

It depicts Totoro, Mei, and Satsuki relaxing by a river–and its unique construction consists of both wood and paper. It’s a bit pricey at $32, but it’s a premium option if you want something a bit fancier than just paper.
