Christmas Ornaments Grow From Paper

This is a neat little twist on the traditional tree/snowman Christmas decorations. These cute puffy little things actually come packaged as folded-up papers in a petri dish. When you put water in the dish, the fluid slowly creeps up the paper and makes it unfold into these and other lovely shapes in a matter of hours.

I bought one of these when I was in Japan. The "water" actually smells like vinegar, so do this in a well ventilated area!
