Warm up for this summer's Olympics with a paper Rio de Janeiro. You might have to get a few friends to help you out, but it'll be worth it!

Channel your inner rockstar and awe at these mini Queen lookalikes. We think American artist Jeff Nishinaka did Freddie Mercury (and his 'tache) proud!

There is no other word for this paper pompom chandelier – it just makes us very happy!
