Fossils come to life in a stylish interior

Fossils displayed in your interior?

You can now bring fossils and dinosaurs to life yourself by creating these paper DIY Fossil Art. For aspiring paleontologists and other geology enthusiasts, we now have various versions of DIY decoration to make yourself. These 3D versions are made of cardboard and you can easily assemble them yourself to bring the time of the dinosaurs back to life in a stylish way in your own interior.

The ammonite and trilobite are, together with the dinosaurs, the most famous fossils from millions of years ago. You can still find these prehistoric fossils in nature every now and then.

The extinct squid-like ammonite built the flat spiral shell shape as a house to live in and thus gained an increasingly larger segment. The beautiful natural shapes are also an inspiration for numerous works of art and architecture. Just think of the buildings of Gaudi.

The extinct arthropod trilobite has a three-part segmented body that is reminiscent of a woodlouse or armadillo.

Bringing dinosaurs back to life in your interior

The Tyrannosaurus Rex is the most famous and at the same time most feared specimen. Who hasn’t seen Jurassic Park??!

A film is now showing in the Omniversum in The Hague: Dinosaurs of the South Pole. 

The Triceratops is the iconic herbivorous dinosaur with 3 enormous horns and a striking collar. This year (2024) the triceratops is in the spotlight in Naturalis due to the recently completed excavation of 5 specimens that can now be seen as a herd in a special Triceratops exhibition.

You can now do your own ‘excavation’ and bring the dinosaurs back to life in your own home.
At Assembli we have made the DIY Dinosaurs and Fossils in ultra-modern fluorescent colours and they really add something special to your interior. Whether you hang them in the living room or put it on a shelf in the (children’s) bedroom.

3 TIPS to decorate your interior with an archaeology theme

 

1

Decoration tip 1: stylish gold or silver looks great on a dark coloured wall

You can also make the fossils in stylish gold or silver and they look great on a dark colored wall, such as (dark) green or dark blue.

For example, use as wall paint: Flexa Clay green or Karwei Vintage blue

Decorating tip 2: stick your DIY fossil in a frame

In a frame your fossil will stand out even more.

For example, use the 3D frame from Assembli in natural wood or black.

Decoration tip 3: Combine your fossil with other decoration in the same theme

If you want to stay in the same theme, combine your fossil with the Dodo, T-rex or paper trophy of the Saber-toothed tiger.
