Look!: Smart, simple design

Perfect for Halloween! This post is categorized as a "look" because the pictures are all you need to understand these simple designs! (Which is good because I still don't understand German!) Everyday household objects were re-imagined and used in a new design. Following is a visual explanation of the fangs and more examples...

Lots of amazing examples of DIY design. —aaron

I love this - and love that the photographs tell you everything you need to know. Thanks for the link.

Oh, and I don't think that the model is ugly - does it even matter?

These are hilarious.
The model's gorgeous, you idiot.

Wow, brutal comment about the model. She's actually not "ugly" at all (good facial structure, pretty skin); she just looks a little odd, as would anyone, because she's holding plastic fangs in her mouth and fittingly making "scary eyes". Gosh.

These are great!

DIY projects of all types.... useful, hilarious, fun, ones I had no idea what they were supposed to be.

Thanks!

hmmm...seems like they could have used a more aesthetically pleasing model for the vampire teeth. That person is downright ugly.

Very funny. A spectacular use for CD cases

Let's not forget that one person's ugly is another person's gorgeous. Why all the negativity on AT lately??

And I wish my German was better so I could understand everything written. I love the silliness of the straw + sticky note and the flyswatter on the bike helmet.

The clothespin spring with the chopsticks is great, too! My 6 year old daughter aspires to eat with chopsticks but doesn't have the dexterity to make it work, yet--maybe this will help her along.

agreed - model is ugly. looks like one of the 3 stooges.

You're not missing much as far as the German text is concerned. Each image is titled and then, the "instructions" are noted. That's all it is.

Great book! :)

like my mamma always says, "nobody's ugly, we're all a little different"
