Turn Your Gum Into Origami Art

Gum Flower

As a motivation not to spit your gum into the street, designer Jung-taek Choi has created the Gum Flower. The Gum Flower's wrapper is a piece of origami. Once you are done with your gum, you fold the wrapper into a cute little origami flower and put the gum inside the flower. Now you have a colorful piece of art instead of a disgusting sticky gum on the street. It also provides a fun alternative to sticking the gum under the desk for kids at school.
