Looking for a fun way to wrap your presents this holiday season? Nothing says “I’m a complete gamer geek” like these Tetris block gift boxes.

Each colorful Tetris brick-shaped box measures 1 3/8 inches (3.5cm) deep (other dimensions vary), which means they’re not going to be big enough to hold that Lexus that you planned on giving…

Link, the boy hero from a legion of Legend of Zelda games, is a popular subject for sculptures and fan art of all sorts, like this life-sized model. There’s just one catch with this example, though–it’s made entirely of paper.

From this distance? I, at least, can’t tell at all that this is papercraft. I’ve seen…

Who says your speakers have to be made out of wood, plastic or metal? These retro mini speakers prove that papercraft speakers look just as good.

Each one of these miniature speaker kits from Japan’s Princeton is a DIY papercraft project. You’ll need glue, scissors, and X-Acto to assemble these models for yourself (assembly manual…

The folks at Cubeecraft just posted a cardboard NES console template, which you can download here, but they didn’t make templates for cardboard NES controllers. Or cardboard NES games.

Or a cardboard power cord. Or a cardboard RCA jack. Or a cardboard TV. Or a cardboard player. Or a cardboard house. Or a cardboard world.…

Mario and Luigi can be pretty cute, in certain renderings. Hello Kitty is definitely cute. Together, made out of paper? The adorable cannot be contained.

Pretty impressive papercraft on the face… and even moreso when you realize that the accessories–the hats, the bows–are all individual pieces. Move ‘em around as you will. But leave the mustaches…

This amazing work of paper art envisions the evolution of the mobile phone using the style of those classic Russian Matryoshka nesting dolls.

Artist/Designer/Illustrator Kyle Bean recently created Mobile Evolution, an intricate set of nesting models from cardboard. See how each phone fits neatly inside it’s older, larger sibling?

Designs start with the classic late…

Deviantartist crzisme saw a Castle Crashers papercraft model on Behemoth’s dev blog, but he couldn’t find the model’s original template. So he decided to make his own paper model based on the image he saw. This is what he came up with:

The model’s head could be a tad bigger in my opinion, but overall crzisme…

Have some old concert or train tickets lying around? With a little folding, some X-Acto knife skill and a whole lot of patience, you can turn those old tix into some tiny little X-Wing Fighters. Paper-master Hubert de Lartigue shows you how-to do it with a Paris METRO ticket here.

Thanks to breakthroughs in miniaturization, electronic gadgets keep getting tinier and tinier. But this is just ridiculous.

These teeny-weeny computers, consoles and consumer electronics are actually made out of paper. Created by papercraft artist Sonicscape Jun (the same guy who gave us the microscopic Nintendo DS Lite), these iconic paper models are amazingly detailed.

You can grab these DIY paper cut-out Mario, Piranha Plants, question mark blocks and a variety of tasty mushrooms over at CubeeCraft – where everyone has a square head.

Make your own Happy Meal with this origami fast food lunch imported from Japan. I’m not sure about the nutritional value of ink-covered paper and Scotch tape, but it’s got to be better than a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a Large Fry. Available from The Curiosity Shoppe for $6 bucks.

This awesome papercraft Mushroom Kingdom board game was created by designer Ashley Buerkett. I’m not sure this was what Nintendo was thinking when they released Paper Mario.
