Yakult pop-up card

Its not really for Yakult just find the shape interesting and wonder want to learn to make pop-up cards. But have problems with the top part of the bottle unfolding. Need to think of a mechanism that would push the side of the middle ring of the top part.

pop-up card is great way to learn making things that need to be easy to transport and get unfolded. Like a stand for products or maybe making very special folder or business card. But I like 3d pop-up instead of flat pop-ups or 90 degrees pop-up. But still pretty hard to calculate the mechanism is pretty much work.

i'd go crazy if I had to glue this hah. impressive!

Its interesting but looks a little complicated at least the finished product does. How functional is it?

I don't think its could be mass produced cause of the difficult mechanism inside to pop open the top half of the bottle.

People could download and print it out and make it by them self. But first I need to make a manual for it how they could make this. Also some different design for it cause not sure if Yakult likes it that I made it with there logo.

Its just for fun and amazing that something flat can become 3d.

This is true, it kind of reminds me of my sisters paper dolls that she used to have growing up.

I dont know if you have ever seen paper dolls before, they were interesting though.
