Cardboard sculptures... for your desk :)


The following ideas can be made in cardboard DIY, in no time flat!

1- cardboard chair

2- An elephant [link]













Imagine to look upon this elephant from the top, make it all flat... it can be make in 1 piece, simply cut and folded ;)
Like they suggest here:













3- terrific ideas for general animal-shapes make of cardboard (or plywood if you know how to work with that...)

















Again: same procedure. Imagine them from the top and then simply print your own model, cut and fold...
Perhaps using soft plastic sheets...

4- Also this rocking horse should be quite simple to recreate in cardboard, in 1 pieces, as a small desktop toy [link]

















5- CNC-Cut Bent-Ply Bowls [link]













Basically if you print the top-left image, large enough, on strong paper or cardboard, then cut it and bend it... you should have a terrific toy kitchen bowl!

6- Various fornitures can be make out of plastic sheets. If you make them small, they will be perfect, inexpensive and DIY toys. Check it out:
- [chair]
These are however more complex to reverse-engineer... From here, it is more visible what the flat paper model should look like.
