Fractal Menger sponge made from Post-Its
Nicholas Rougeux made this fabulous Menger sponge fractal out of mini Post-its, which he swears by for erecting fractals:

Post-its offer surprisingly structural durability and are easy to get in large quantities making them ideal for assembling structures like these.
