Just when I thought my life was complete, I discovered Paperfoldables. From the Green Grub to the Hipster Grifter, there is a paper toy template for everyone. We took a vote earlier at Apples & Owls and by unanimous decision…our favorite is Krang.

Take four minutes out of your busy life to watch this video for CS4. I wish I had the power to make keys into cakes and donuts into…socks? I take that back, I’d rather just eat the donut. Back to my point, watch it.

Hell yes to long weekends. Hell yes to lounging in a swing cocoon with a mexican-inspired print. And a mega hell yes to reinterpreting already awesome plastic fold chairs into something even more amazing. Just looking at this makes me want to put my sunnies on.
