Flip the Dolphin: Slim 3D Paper Wall Art Template

A whole dolphin, nose to tail, seventy centimetres along the wall and only twelve away from it. Flip is for the places where something deeper would be in the way.

What makes it special

Flip is one whole piece, and the slimmest thing in the collection. It runs 70 cm along the wall but stands only 12 cm out from it, so it works in a corridor you pass through sideways, above a headboard, or on a landing, without anything to catch a shoulder. Where Fin dives into the wall and Tiki rises out of it, Flip is a whole dolphin swimming along it.

Good to know

• Instant download: you receive the file after checkout. Nothing is shipped to you, and there is no waiting.
• Finished size: 70 cm long and 31 cm high, standing 12 cm out from the wall
• Pages to print: 19 sheets of A4
• Where it goes: made to sit against a wall
• You choose the scale: print at A4 for the size above, or resize the file first for something smaller or larger.
• Print it your way: colored and patterned card both work, so no two people end up with the same piece.
• Handcrafted design: an original, 100% human-designed template, with no AI at any step of the design.

Print it, cut it, fold it, and hang it where the light comes in from one side. That is where the folded facets do their best work.
