Show your Quidditch love with these fun earrings!
I found these in Umbrella Laboratory’s Etsy shop. I really love how she took different findings and made the golden snitch! I think that makes them even more unique and awesome!

So long and thanks for all the fish!
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is probably one of the greatest movies of all time. The opening credits are one of my favorite parts of the movie, and Craftster user Tracey_K made this needlework bundle-of-awesome as a housewarming gift! I’ve never worked with metallic thread before, and she says it is no fun to work with… however, it looks amazing!! The colors work perfectly, and font selection is spot on – this so tops my current favorite crafts! (and inspires me to finally finish my own cross stitch) Kudos, Tracey_K, I love it!

Amigurumi Discworld
“Great A’Tuin the turtle comes, swimming slowly through the interstellar gulf…”
I know the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett has dedicated fans (there’s some overlap with fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy–which is how I heard about Discworld) and this amigurumi proves it! I haven’t read the series (yet. The Colour of Magic is on my bookcase), but this makes me want to even more. PlanetJune decided to make this epic Discworld after making a sea turtle: “I spent hours studying, sketching, simplifying and photoshopping the Discworld Mapp so I could recreate it in cotton yarn”. I’m so glad she did! AND she has the approval of Mr.Sir Prachett himself!

10. Unicorn Bookmark
The perfect way to hold your place in your favorite book. It is simple and elegant, but the colorful jewels lead to the little unicorn trinket. A discrete way to boast geek girl pride.
Hang your Unicorn pride around your neck with this clay necklace. This delicate piece captures the grace of the mythical beast, and the sparkling eye will capture attention.
This adorable unicorn is embroidered in bold colors on a heart fabric background. This little guy has some major personality with his spiky hair, flaring nostrils, and flower collar.
Everyone could use a cuddle Unicorn. This pattern for Luna will help you make a Unicorn army to take over the world with… or at least to snuggle with. Make one for every geeky girl you know and spread the Unicorn word.
This little Valentine Unicorn was sculpted from Polymer Clay. Her big eyes and swirly pink hair might be a cuteness overload for some, but shouldn’t everyone make an exception for cuteness on Valentines day?
We interrupt all of the previous cuteness with a revelation on the origins of rainbows. This 4×4 print says it all. Position it above your computer so the Unicorn appears to pour rainbow geekiness into your monitor.
This shirt makes me want to visit my mom’s ranch and wear it while horseback riding. Either that, or wear it while beating my friends in some Mario Cart.
3. Unicorn Hat
This hat is perfect if you want to tell the world about your Unicorn/Geek status. However, it might make it a little awkward if your friend is wearing the shirt featured in #4!
Some people appreciate a good trophy. This crochet Unicorn’s name is Matthew, and he perhaps got bested by a geek girl who then decided to show him off. Matthew is sure to make visitors do a double take.
The last in this roundup is an icon for many geek girls. The Last Unicorn is a book and movie that many grew up loving. This little plushie made from microplush, faux fur, and faux suede also has a wire skeleton that makes her poseable. The crafter artist did a great job of bringing to life our favorite Unicorn.
Pixel Book Covers
This book cover idea is so simple, yet so awesome, I’m slightly upset I didn’t think of it first! Way to go Icoeye for beating me to it… now I wish I had more books of the same size to properly pull this effect off! (Think of the design potential… Space Invaders, Mario, anything 8bit = crazy pixel fun!)
There is also a PDF link included to make your own bookshelf designs (yay!)
