Sneak peak of how our NEW Mini Builds Honey Bee went from initial sketch through to final product! Pretty cool, eh? 🐝⁠
⁠
The creative process is really fascinating and involves the whole team here at Build Your Own HQ.

Our clever team of paper engineers and designers are super talented and we love that each of our Build Your Own kits are created right here in the UK.⁠
