13 Crafty Robots
Robots are cool. Do a search on “robot” at etsy.com and you’ll get more than 2,000 results. Flickr serves up another 1,500. Plushies, etched glass, metalworks - anything goes for making robots. Here are a few:
Emmett’s Robot
Bitterbethany was inspired by Jess Hutchinson and Hillary Lang to make this soft robot. The zipper mouth and snap buttons are great details!
Robie Robot
Here’s another robot inspired by Hillary Lang of Wee Wonderfuls. Check out sknittymama’s Flickr for more robots.
Ivy’s Robot
Melisdramatic traced her daughter Ivy’s robot drawing to do this embroidery. What is this robot thinking?
My First Robot
And another from Jess Hutchinson’s “Unusual Toys for You to Knit and Enjoy.” This was Lily Dustbin’s first robot attempt. Naturally, she plans on knitting more. There’s no such thing as too many robots.
Robot Brooches
These cute little robot brooches are made of felt. And they’re a miniature version of Andricongirl’s larger robots.
David the Unappreciated Robot
I really love this ugly tie / vinyl robot combination. Click through to The Rocket Workshop’s Flickr to read the elaborate tale of David the Unappreciated Robot’s work life.
Bride and Groom Robots
My Imaginary Boyfriend made these cute, felt robots as part of a Craft A Day challenge. She plans on attaching plastic bases to these his-and-hers robots so they can be used as wedding cake toppers.
Robot Geek in Love
This sweet robot print is available from CraftieRobot’s Etsy shop. At 8 1/2 x 11 inches, it would make a great addition to the wall of any room.
Angry Robot Pouch
This robot is fun *and* functional :) Unzip his mouth to store your money and other small things. Also, I’m just a sucker for glitter vinyl.
Robot Shot Glass
BreadandBadger is freehand-etching shot glasses with a rotary tool for your drinking needs. No two robots are alike.
Shopping Robot Market Bags
Reusable shopping bags are all the rage right now, as they should be. Go green with these screen-printed robot bags.
Ollie
Guy Robot turns junk into robots. Be sure to check out his entire web site for robot-y goodness. This here is Ollie:
“Ollie is one tough robot, built to handle a heap of abuse. Rocks and worse just bounce off of his head. Ollie’s body armor is bomb-squad certified, he can squat thrust twice his weight. Once, on a dare, he did eleven thousand pull-ups.”
Robot Invasion Instructable
Thanks to MrMunki and instructables, you can make robots too. These ornaments are even solar-powered. Now get to it!

Optimus Prime Made of Cans

More than meets the eye? Robyn Lee of Required Eating posted this picture of Optimus Prime made out of cans, taken by Matt Boulton. Apparently, there’s an annual contest in Vancouver where artists make all sorts of amazing sculptures from canned food. After the event, it’s all donated to food banks. They’ve got pictures of entries from the past four years - definitely worth a look.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amigurumi

Craftster user Falwyn crocheted these super cute Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dolls for her kids, based on Atsuko’s pattern. Falwyn made the shells differently than Atsuko, and provided those directions in her post. Personally, I would have made the shells bigger, but all in all, this would make a great little gift for geeks large and small.

Transformers Toque
Craftster.org user subloke made this Transformers toque based on Baigneuse’s version, who made hers based on Flickr user twosixteen’s chart. Subloke even made the Transformers hat reversible - one side has Autobot and Decepticon icons and the other side says “more than meets the eye.”
She was even kind enough to post the pattern and instructions to the Transformers hat so anyone with the skillz can make one too!
