Globefish DIY Paper Toy Postcard #041

The postcard is thicker and more sturdy than I expected, so the monkey really stands up on my shelf without wobbling. The quirky design from those Taiwan designers made me smile the whole time I was folding it. It's a fun little brain break that leaves you with something genuinely cute.

Assembly took about an hour and a half, but the paper tabs fit together so crisply that the finished monkey almost looks like a real miniature sculpture. It’s the kind of project that makes you feel oddly proud to display on a shelf—I’ve already ordered another postcard design to try.

The little card unfolds into a surprisingly sturdy 3D monkey and the paper has a nice matte texture that feels great in hand. It took me about an hour to assemble while watching TV, and the tabs are clearly numbered so I didn't get lost once. I'm already eyeing the next one in the series.
