I'm new to papercraft, I actually have never done anything.
Any good designs for beginners?

one thing I've been thinking about asking (also new) is, how do you seal the final flap on a closed object?

Apply glue to the tabs and push the final part onto the tabs.
Any particular problem papercraft you're thinking about? It depends on how the designer designed the model of course.

There's so many papercrafts, and who's to say which are for beginners, depends on your skills: maybe you have a hidden talent? There are many one-page, easy papaercrafts , but it's more important to make sure you choose one of something you really like, so you're motivated to finish it instead of giving up. ;o) Browse http://www.3dpapermodel.com.tw/

this is how ive always done it but thtas just me

make tabs for boths sides of the join about an inch long and fold back on themselves so the part of the tab is otuside the object, glue the inside of the folds and the tabs, then puch the sides together while gently pully tab intil stuck

Don't really get it, but if it goes the way I think, won't you have to cut off the excess that's sticking on the outside? And people are already complaining the "white edges" or the thickness of the paper is showing, wouldn't this make that even worse?
Seems like a little over-engineered solution to me, a little bit too clever. ;o)

What I do is I fold the glue tabs upwards a bit and apply more glue than needed. This way when you close it, it'll actually hit the tab more than it would if you left it at a normal fold. The extra glue helps it apply, as a thin layer of glue would require a heavy press. You'll still need to hold the parts together for a few seconds to make sure it stays.

I hope that makes sense.

In addition to this it helps if you're using thicker paper (like crafts crafts cardboard) and fold only so much that you can slide the tab to its place. Thick paper doesn't bend or get soggy and soft too easily, and thus the result should be better.
