FOLDed and Argyle Fine Art present this special postcard edition Hollow Face Robot!
If you have one of these postcards, here is a video with detailed assembly instructions:
Just in time for Christmas, it’s the newest FOLDed: Robot Reindeer. Robot Reindeer is available now from Argyle Fine Art in Halifax.
Assembly Instructions:
Before you begin you might want to view the “Getting Started” page for tips and suggestions.
1) Cut out the body, head, and tail sections carefully along the solid black outlines. DO NOT cut along the dashed fold line.
NOTE: There is a short cut just under the jaw on the left side of the head that is easy to miss. This cut allows for the front of the neck to be folded over.
2) Cut slits along the five solid white lines. This step is easier if you use an x-acto or other craft knife.
3) Pre-fold along all the dashed lines. Accurate folding will make assembly much easier.
4) Let’s start with the body section. Insert tab A into slot A and then tab B into slot B.
5) Fold the tail along the dashed line if you haven’t already and insert tab Z into the unmarked slot at the back-end off the body. After inserting the tail, you can spread the two Z tabs apart inside the body to help prevent the tail from falling out.
6) Now for the head section. I found it easier to start by inserting tab D into slot D, and then moving on the tabs C and E.
7) Now you are ready to attach the head to the body by inserting the X and Y tabs into the X and Y slots on the top of the body.
And that’s it! You now have a fully assembled Robot Reindeer. Enjoy!
FOLDed introduces a new dog robot, Dog Bot BBT. He’s a bit rusty, but he’s still loyal and well behaved.

RoboBeaver. Perhaps the busiest of all the robots. RoboBeaver searches the city at night for materials to use in the construction of it’s underground fortress. alright, honestly I have no idea what inspired me to design a robot beaver, but I still think it’s pretty cool. You can get yours at Argyle Fine Art in Halifax.
Assembly Instructions:
Before you begin yo might want to view the “Getting Started” page for tips and suggestions.
1) Carefully cut along the solid black outlines, DO NOT cut the dashed fold lines.
2) Carefully cut slits indicated by the white lines.
3) Fold along all the dashed fold lines. Making all the folds first will make assembly much easier.
4) I start by folding over the ears.
5) Carefully insert the tabs into the corresponding slots, starting with “A” (note, in this image the ear fold is still sticking up, but it should be folding down at this point).
Continue inserting tabs into slots.
6) And you are finished! Enjoy your FOLDed RoboBeaver. Have a good name for your RoboBeaver? Let me know.
3 Cats: Uke Kitty, Brandy Cat (a.k.a. “Hello Mister Bond”), Coffee Cat. This set of three FOLDed cats was originally designed for a show of cat related art at Argyle Fine Art. You can buy this set at Argyle Fine Art in Halifax, NS, or you can order direct from Ed in the FOLDed store.

These instructions apply to all three cats in this series.
Carefully cut out the cat body and the tail section. Cut along the solid black outlines, DO NOT cut the dashed fold lines.
2) Carefully cut slits indicated by the white lines.
3) Fold along all the dashed fold lines. Making all the folds first will make assembly much easier.
4) Insert the tabs into the corresponding slots.
5) Attach the tail section. The position of the tail slot may vary depending on which version of the cats you are assembling.
And you are finished! Enjoy your FOLDed cat. Where will you keep your new cat? Let me know!
After much trial and error I have finally designed a FOLDed rocket that I like. The trick was making a shape that was interesting but not too difficult to fold. I think this design is a nice balance. There are two versions of the rocket, Rocket Red 5 and Rocket Blue 2. These instructions apply to both versions.
Assembly Instructions:
Before you begin yo might want to view the “Getting Started” page for tips and suggestions.1)
Carefully cut out the rocket. Cut along the solid black outlines, DO NOT cut the dashed fold lines.
2) Carefully cut slits indicated by the white lines.
3) Fold along all the dashed fold lines.
4) Now the for the fiddly part. Carefully, and with patience, close the shape by inserting the tabs into their corresponding slots. A into A, B into B, and so on.
I found it easier to do the sides first and the bottom last.
This is the shape you are going for. Essentially it is two three-sided pyramids with fins.
And that’s it! Let me know how it went for you.
