Pop-up picture books and candy boxes,

You can see it in the tool box sold at home improvement stores.

It is"how to be folded".

Reduce the size to mail the product and put it in a store etc.

Keep shipping costs as low as possible

You can put it in the size of the book

It is a small device found in industrial products.

This is before assembly.

It's annoying, so use it conveniently to work.

Continuing from this magazine, if you think about how to use it ...

・ Paint a phosphorescent spray and decorate the tree

・ Photosensitive paper Make and paste a cool Nikko photo work

・ Apply a bond to the entire surface and attach beads to decorate .

・ Paste a calendar with small letters for 12 months

・ Try to draw a pattern like Escher

・ Draw and send a congratulations picture as a New Year's card

・ Paste your favorite photos to make a polyhedral album

・ Enlarge enough to accommodate people and make my tent with cardboard

There seems to be various things

Make foldable regular tetrahedrons, cubes, regular octahedrons, regular icosahedrons, etc.

It ’s like decorating it like a specimen and it ’s fascinating.
