Extreme Paper Folding: Origami Models Of Russian Landmarks
We've featured some very inspiring (and humongous) origami models on Bit Rebels over the years.

As we always say though, as soon as you think you've seen the ...
Retro Paper Dress Up Dolls For People Stuck In The ’80s
I remember as a kid what it was like to open a new box of cereal after my mom bought it. Usually there was a toy inside, and on the back of the box you could sometimes find those paper dress up (pop up) dolls that you could cut out and play with. Unfortunately I never spent too much time actually cu ...

Digital Meets Analog: Inspiring & Dreamy Digital Origami Animals
I think that every seasoned graphic designer out there will agree with me when I say that the greatest line of software after Photoshop ever to grace a designer's desktop is actually the 3D software.

Assemble Your Own Papercraft Steve Jobs Keynote
Isn't it interesting how people keep creating things that we don't need, but we really want? I mean, how can it be that we are going about our everyday lives without thinking about what we don't need only to stumble over something that we really want? It sounds weird, I know, but it is exactly that ...
DIY City Of Paris Papercraft That Fits In Your Pocket
Papercraft builds remind me a lot of Lego builds in the sense that some artists gravitate towards huge monstrosities that you can't help but stare at, and other artists focus more on minimalist creations that are small enough to fit in your pocket. One thing is for sure, bigger doesn't always mean b ...
DIY Last Minute Creative Gift Wrapping Ideas
Usually over the holidays, I block out a chunk of several hours to wrap all the gifts I bought for my loved ones during this season.

Cheeseburger Couture Gift Wrap: A Delicious Way To Wrap Your Gifts

DIY Snowflakes Made From Junk Mail
Do you know what paper doilies are? I haven't seen a doily since my great grandmother died when I was very young, but she used to always have those in her house. When I visited her, I would fold them in half and cut designs in them with a pair of scissors. If you've ever done that, you know that whe ...
Willy Wonka Everlasting Gobstopper Origami
If you watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you know that Willy Wonka designed Everlasting Gobstoppers to last forever. It's a candy that never loses its flavor, and it was specifically created for children who don't have very much money to buy a lot of candy.
Although this origami design i ...

Even though fright night season is over, and we can once again breathe normally without having to worry about being scared out of our senses, there is always room for some thrills.

I must be in a real Pokémon mood today because I already wrote about the super cute Pokérose to inspire geek love, and now I have another fun Pokémon project to share with you.
