Mario Mushroom Stencil Art How-To
Crafter extraordinaire Vickie Howell recently made this Game Boy stencil art piece for her son, who loves to play video games. She used a stencil from Ed Roth’s Stencil 101 Decor collection and freehanded the Mario image over it — she shares a complete tutorial for making your own version.
This isn’t Vickie’s first Mario-inspired craft project — check out her pattern and tutorial for knitting up a pair of Mario Mushroom Wrist Warmers as well!
Shaun the Sheep Crochet Doll
I don’t know how geeky it is, but when we were visiting my in-laws in England, my father-in-law showed us several episodes of Shaun the Sheep (by the same people who did Wallace and Grommit) and I just fell in love! It’s a great little claymation and Leelou has done such an amazing job recreating Shaun in this adorable Shaun the Sheep Crochet Doll that she posted on craftster.
Cross-stitched New Moon Needle Book
Craftster user Krafty_Karasu cross-stitched this handy needle book to look like the cover of New Moon.
Tenth Doctor Amigurumi
April Draven made this adorable Tenth Doctor Amigurumi for a swap on craftster and posted him on her blog. I am in love with him! He is even cuter than the real David Tennant! And the crocheted glasses are removable, too!
