An adorable packaging concept for fruit juice aka "Birdy juice" by Mats Ottdal a norwegian Graphic Designer and Illustrator. He says: "Birdy Juice is a concept for fruit juice using the form of the juice carton to create wings and feet for bird characters."

After you've enjoyed the juice out of these cute boxes, don't recycle the box just yet. Unfold the top and bottom flaps on the box and give owls and penguins their feet and wings.

For example - Bobby who is a pretty little barn owl, likes to she likes to do cross stitching in her spare time.

Also, you must stop by her online store to view her beautiful prints.
