Boba Fett Pez Dispenser

Boba Fett Pez Dispenser

Cory Doctorow posted this ridiculously awesome Boba Fett Pez dispenser on boingboing. Flickr user Switthoft made it “using the lost wax casting process with an organic burnout. The material is silicon bronze. The original sleeve for the Pez broke, so I cannibalized parts from another dispenser: Simba from the Lion King.”

South Park Cartman and Kenny Amigurumi

South Park Cartman and Kenny Amigurumi

Sukigirl made a bunch of these South Park Cartman and Kenny amigurumi dolls as stocking stuffers. She’s got some other South Park crafts on her blog, as well. The pattern is from Etsy seller La Fee Crochette, who has a lot of different geek-inspired Amigurumi. I’m happy that Cartman’s head is larger than Kenny’s, as it should be.

Star Wars Ewok Gingerbread Cookie

Who needs gingerbread men when you can have ginger Chewbacca and ginger Ewoks? Craftster user kala posted these hilarious Star Wars gingerbread cookies that she and her husband made -

“He made the hair on Chewy by pressing some dough through a garlic press, that idea came from Martha Stewart Living.  Yay for Martha!”

Nintendo and D&D Felt and Embroidered Ornaments

Felt and Embroidered Christmas Onaments

We got a double-submission from Geek Crafts user Bree (aka breemonkey on Craftster): She sewed and embroidered felt to make these cute and very detailed D20 Dungeons and Dragons die and Nintendo controller ornaments for her lucky, and geeky, friends.

Dr. Who Tardis Tissue Box Cozy

Geek Crafts reader Jessica of Craft:g33k sewed and embroidered this amazing Dr. Who Tardis Tissue Box Cozy for a swap. The details she added with the seams are awesome and the denim is a perfect shade of blue. Even better, she’s got instructions posted on her blog!
