Origami Tux

If paper crafts are more your style, you will love this Tux origami found at Michal Kosmulski’s homepage. It takes a lot of origami paper, but it looks great as a finished product.

A simpler way to get a paper Tux to hang out on your desk was listed anonymously on Media Fire. It is a simple printout that only requires the skills we all learned in kindergarten–cut and paste!

There are a ton of other great Linux and Tux related craft projects out there for the Linux lover (or penguin lover) in all of us, but these ten are the ones I just couldn’t resist. If you are a truly dedicated Linux user, there are a plethora of crafty opportunities out there for you, you can even incorporate Tux into your hair style, like Billymavenstone on Tech Source. Because that is some Linux-geek dedication!
