"IIIIIIIIIIII want an iPhone!" you often whine as friends of yours show off their fancy schmancy gadget which is phone, PC, butler, personal shopper and answer to the universe's mysteries in a handy palm-sized package through the medium of apps. Who needs to be waiting till you have the pennies to get yourself the real deal when you can craft yourself one for the cost of a few bits of card, some glue and a few slops of paint?
The amazing Papercraft iPhone video takes you through some of the almost painfully intricate process it took one crafter to conjure themselves an iPhone out of card. The results are, quite frankly, pretty damned iPhone-like. Gloss paint, cocktail sticks and being a stickler for detail creates an iPhone replica that looks entirely like the real thing, complete with a dock and a shiny presentation box.
You can find the tutorial on the Paperartcraft blog so you can get crafting one right away.
All you need to worry about now is the dangers of getting a paper cut when you casually go to answer your first fake iPhone text.
