>>61335244Kanata seems to be pretty popular so I figured I'd teach everyone how to make their own. You too can have a kanata:
First you want to heat her nice and hot, you can't do any forging without starting here.

https://files.catbox.moe/mtzbax.pngDuring this step, your kanata may squirm, try to get away, or ask for a break. This is normal, but don't let it distract you, as it's important to finish the folding all in one go.
