Assembled in the spirit of traditional paper origami without any glue or fasteners, this metal orikinzoku item is EXTREMELY rigid and durable. All sharp edges are folded-under leaving only smooth edges exposed, safe for handling!
--
This ornament is made from 10 cans, not a flimsy single can. Each module is folded in on itself over and over again, making each module essentially 7 layers thick. Once assembled, the finished ornaments are up to 14 layers thick where the modules overlap, making the overall ornament extremely rigid and durable. It will not accidentally deform, warp or come apart.
--
Each ornament is hung with a ball bearing swivel for smooth 360 degree rotation. Swivels also have a clip-on fastener enabling the ornaments to be latched onto things that have closed eyelets like zippers or handles.

Prices vary based on limited editions, discontinued brands or expensive imports.
--
Custom requests are gladly accepted but may include additional costs to procure the cans if I do not have the empties to make it.
--
Custom regional requests are also gladly accepted but will require the buyer to ship me the empties. The number of cans required varies based on the size and configuration of the ornament desired, so please do not hesitate to inquire about having your favorite brand commemorated with these one of a kind keepsakes.
My standard 3 inch 30 piece icosahedra (as listed here) need twelve 12oz cans or six 16/24oz cans.
