DIY // Eames elephant.

photos by: SAOSdesignA month ago I posted a photo of two Eames elephants on my IG account and because there was big interest in them I decided to show you this cheap and easy DIY on blog.I've always loved simple and quirky shapes, but have never found a reason to spend that kind of money on plastic elephant like this one or even more expensive smaller one made from bentwood. Just like always I was browsing the internet and I came across a template from which I can do my own paper Eames elephant. Really wonderful! I made one in black and one in white grid paper. The white one is half smaller that the original template, the black one is one more time smaller. The instructions are very simple: cut  out the template, bend the cut out into shape and glue the two pieces together. To look more like the original bend the legs and the ears little. One little suggestion: elephants can be used on a party as place cards.

Happy almost weekend!

_____Pred enim mesecem sem na instagramu objavila fotografijo dveh Emaes slončkov in ker je bilo veliko zanimanje zanju sem se odločila da poceni in preprost DIY predstavim na blogu.Že od nekdaj so mi všeč preproste in domiselne oblike, vendar do sedaj še nisem našla razloga da bi zapravila veliko vsoto denarja na plastičnem slončku kot je ta oz. na dražjem a manjšem modelčku iz krivljenega lesa. Tako sem kot ponavadi med brskanjem po internetu naletela na predlogo iz katere lahko sama naredim papirnatega Eames slončka. Res čudovito! Sama sem se poigrala s črnim in belim papirjem z mrežo. Belega sem naredila polovične velikosti kot je predloga, črnega pa še enkrat manjšega. Navodila so preprosta: izrežite predlogo, prepognite izrezano v obliko in zlepite skupaj. Da bi slon izgledal bolj podoben originalu ga upornite tudi v nogah in ušesih.

Še en manjši predlog: slončke lahko na zabavi uporabite kot kartice z imeni.

Vesel skorajšnji konec tedna!
