Add movement and colour to cardboard creations

Makedo Deco-Props Twisties are springy, colourful plastic shapes that attach to cardboard with Makedo connectors. They bend, flop, twist and stack, so you can make decorations that would be hard to create from cardboard alone. Each set contains 18 pieces and is ready to use straight from the packet.

How Twisties work

Twisties are pre-cut shapes that fix to cardboard with Makedo Scru and Scru+ connectors and the Mini-Tool. A Scru connects up to 3 layers, and a Scru+ connects up to 5 layers, so you can stack several Twisties together or layer them with cardboard for extra height and shape.

The set includes 7 Deco-Props, 4 Scru connectors, 6 Scru+ connectors and 1 Mini-Tool. That gives you plenty of ways to add hair, tails, springs, antennae or twisting details to robots, creatures and characters.

Why makers choose Twisties

• Movement you cannot get from cardboard. The springy shapes bend and transform, giving builds a sense of motion.
• Ready to go. No cutting, gluing or drying time. Open the pack and start building.
• Reusable. Unscrew the connectors and move the pieces to your next creation.
• Works with the Makedo system. Twisties attach to existing Makedo creations and layer with the other Deco-Props sets.
• Easy to store. The resealable packaging keeps all 18 pieces together between projects.

Made from recycled plastic

Makedo makes the Deco-Props range from recycled plastics, and each individual shape is fully recyclable. Combined with reusable pieces and everyday cardboard, Twisties offer a low-waste way to make and decorate.

Part of the Deco-Props range

Twisties are one of four Deco-Props sets from Makedo, alongside Googlies, Blobbies and Sparkies. The sets stack and layer together, so you can combine eyes, shapes and springy details on the same creation.

  The Makedo Deco-Props Twisties set contains 18 pieces. These are 7 springy Deco-Props, 4 Scru connectors, 6 Scru+ connectors and 1 Mini-Tool. Everything needed to attach the shapes is included, so you only need to add your own cardboard to start building.
• How do Makedo Twisties attach to cardboard?
  Twisties attach to cardboard with Makedo Scru and Scru+ connectors and the Mini-Tool. Make a hole in the cardboard with the Mini-Tool, then fix the Twistie in place with a connector. A Scru joins up to 3 layers, and a Scru+ joins up to 5 layers. No glue or tape is needed.
• What age are Makedo Twisties suitable for?
  Makedo describes Twisties as suitable for makers of all ages, and they are safety tested to age 3+. Younger children can choose and position the shapes, while older children and adults can use the Mini-Tool to fix pieces and build more detailed, layered decorations.
• What can you make with Makedo Twisties?
  Twisties add movement and colour to any cardboard creation. Because the pieces bend, flop, twist and stack, they work well as springy hair, tails, antennae or decorative details. Makedo says they let you make decorations you would not otherwise be able to create in cardboard alone.
• Can Makedo Twisties be reused?
  Yes, Twisties are designed to be reused. Unscrew the connectors to remove the pieces, then move them to your next creation. The resealable packaging keeps all 18 pieces together between projects, so one set can be used across many different cardboard builds.
• What are Makedo Deco-Props Twisties made from?
  Twisties are made from plastic produced from recycled material. Makedo states that each individual shape in the Deco-Props range is fully recyclable. Because the pieces are reusable and attach to cardboard you already have, they offer a low-waste way to build and decorate at home.
• Can Twisties be used with other Deco-Props sets?
  Yes, Twisties stack and layer with the other three Deco-Props sets from Makedo: Googlies, Blobbies and Sparkies. Combining sets lets you add eyes, shapes and springy details to the same creation, so you can build more elaborate characters, creatures and robots from everyday cardboard.
