Overview
Skallops are semi-circular discs that allow you to create amazing structures from regular playing cards.
Connect cards in seemingly endless configurations using the thirteen laser-cut slots in each of the birch plywood discs. Enhance your designs by joining the connectors to one another using the notch in the bottom of each disc.
With Skallops, you can build incredibly strong geometric structures or bend, crease, and cut the cards to assemble flexible and curved creations. For an extra-personal touch, substitute the playing cards with photos or business cards!
Combine multiple sets for truly impressive designs. Each set of Skallops includes a pack of playing cards and 52 wooden connectors. Please note that Skallops are compatible with any standard playing card.
