Papercraft Sausage Mobile

This unusual kinetic papercraft meat sculpture is brought to you by the folks at wurstakademie.com, a German website devoted entirely to the subject of sausage. The sausage mobile is billed as a craft project for kids, although adults might have some fun building it as well. A template for the mobile is located here, just right click on the image and save. The mobile as an art form was popularized by American sculptor Alexander Calder, in case you were wondering. ^^

Realistic Strawberry Papercraft

Mmm, strawberries... This realistic looking papercraft strawberry was created by the folks at the Fragarixie pixie blog. Fragarixie is the home of a online comic about a family of tiny pixies who live in the forest and grow strawberries. The template for the strawberry was offered as a free download in the early days of the blog. As the story goes, Pixie Grandpa found the strawberry template among the ancient Fragarixie scrolls.

Domino's Pizza Paper Toy

My job has been pretty hectic lately, so I haven't had much time to work on new papercraft models. I did find the time this week, however, to produce an addition to my pizza paper toy series which I began last year. This one is a Domino's green pepper and black olive pizza. It's not a flavor of pizza I think I would ever order, but I do like the pattern the toppings make.^^

Darth Maul Pizza Paper Toy

When I did my first pizza paper toy I really hadn't planned on doing any other ones, but shortly after I finished my first design I came across another unusual pizza I just had to do. Could it be the beginnings of a pizza papertoy series? Time will tell. ;)

In the US in 1999 just before Star Wars: Episode 1 was released, Pizza Hut participated in a massive advertising campaign to promote the movie. Part of the campaign involved pizza boxes that featured nine different characters from Episode 1. One of the characters on the large size pizza boxes was none other than Darth Maul. This papertoy is a miniature replica of that box. The first pizza papertoy had a supreme pizza. This one has a pepperoni pizza. The template info is as follows:

McDonald's Pizza Paper Toy

Remember when McDonald's served pizza? Uh, me neither, but there are quite a few people out there who do. Apparently, in the US and Canada McDonald's pizza was only available in limited locations. How long was McPizza around? It's hard to say. The New York Times reported in September 1989 that test marketing had begun, while others reported pizza sightings as late at 1998. Be that as it may, this is my paper toy homage to a fast food experiment I missed. It is an easy build with only three parts, just the quick diversion you need on a boring afternoon.
