Paper Pub #1: iPod TV Dock

ããã«ã¡ã¯ã Instructabrarians!

Today I would like to unveil a new project series, all about the wonders of PAPERCRAFT. If you couldn't tell from one of my previous works, I absolutely love papercrafts. They're awesome- it's like 3D printing on a budget! Even though I don't create all my patterns myself, I'm always scouring the internet for new papercraft models and new designs to build.

As such, I will be creating a new project category for myself Papercraft Publications or Paper Pubs! This is where I take an awesome papercraft pattern I find online/ design myself and simply show the process of how I made it. There's a lot of awesome papercrafts out there and I just want to pay them tribute.

So lets get crafting! #1 on my list is how to turn construction paper into an Awesome iPod/ iPhone Television Dock.

PS I'm sorry if the video and audio is a bit screwed up. My digital camera is not too good at taking them.

I got the idea to make this from Trickartt's sweet post it note television set. In case you haven't seen it, he took a bunch of post it notes and created an awesome slide in television box from it. Video here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/trickartt/4653748455/

I just thought that that idea was so creative and awesome that I had to build my own.

When making mine, however, I wanted to be a bit more creative. I was debating between awesome and retro or adorable and kawaii. Since I just ate at a dine in restaurant for lunch, I decided for a more colorful aesthetic. Kawaii!

The basic design for my television set came from the Chao TV set pattern from Sonic Team's website. I basically just rescaled it until it fit the length of my iPod Touch and made it from construction paper.
