DIY Crazy Paper Toy

This is just too cool. As soon as I saw this, I thought, "Math Craft!"

Thanks Adam. This is so cool. I'd seen this before but I've never built one. Might have to try it out this weekend. I was actually planning on putting up a few posts eventually about other objects you can make that do similar things.

aaaand i'm totally doing this now.

Cool. Let us know how long it takes and post up pictures if you finish it. I haven't decided whether I'm going to build it this weekend or not...working on some orderly tangle of triangle earrings right now.

Very cool.

took about half an hour, but i was using bad paper and duct tape. you could take it down to 20 minutes if you have the right stuff.

Cool. How is it once you have it done? Is it pretty intuitive to manipulate?

its pretty easy to make but, it looks much more cool in the video because it is new. There are many of these for sale, using much better hinges than tape, and actual plastic instead of paper. However these things lose their aesthetic value after about an hour.

I love these! I've made soo many!

wouuuuuuuuuuuuu..from simple piece of paper to awesome paper craft..i wonder who invented that trick?
