11th Doctor fingerless gloves

11th Doctor fingerless gloves
I love these 11th Doctor fingerless gloves by Bobbie from BobbieBomber on Tumblr. She was inspired by a picture of a crocheted phone cover she saw on Google, and I can see this would be great for that too. There is no pattern, but they appear similar to the Iron Man-Inspired Crocheted Gloves linked here a few months back. Bobbie is also happy to make them, and ship worldwide, if you send her an inbox through tumblr, (though no mention of price) so for those of you who are not crochet inclined, you don’t need to miss out.

Crocheted Turtle Cozies!

Crocheted Turtle Cozies - Shark

Forget boring ol’ teapot cozies, turtle cozies are where it’s at! Seriously, how cool would it be to have your very own (albeit slow) lawn shark? Katie Bradley of Etsy shop Mossy Tortoise is the genius behind these cosplaying cuties. She sells the crochet patterns for the turtle cozies so you can make your very own or, if you’re crochet-challenged like me, you can request a custom made one.

Duun-dun…duun-dun…duun-dun…dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun…doo-de-doo! (No, no, my cat didn’t walk across the keyboard, that’s obviously the theme from Jaws.)

And perhaps even more fun than Turtle Shark…Turtlesaurus!

Crocheted Turtle Cozies!

There are some thing to keep in mind when you cosplay with your wee turtle friends however. I personally don’t know much about keeping turtles are pets, but other people have pointed out that the cozies are definitely not meant to be a heat source or to be worn for long periods of time. And of course, keep an eye on the wee wooly beasts as well.

Easy DIY Wands

DIY Chop Stick Wands

This is a smart tutorial from Majann on DeviantArt, in that it’s a really simple, easy, yet super effective geek craft. Great for cosplay, Wizard Parties, or just to have a selection of wands on hand… just in case.

Majann’s photo tutorial shows how to make great looking wands using wooden cheap chop sticks, hot glue, random beads and acrylic paint – Pheonix tail feathers and such not needed! Just be careful not to burn yourself on the hot glue.

Piranha Plant Papercut

Your plants either drown or die of thirst, but you still yearn for some nature in your living room? I know what you mean. My flowers in Plants versus Zombies hate me.

Now, paper might not be the same as roots and leafs, but at least it’s made of trees! So why not decorate your wall with this Super Mario Brothers papercut silhouette? You’d rather have real foliage? Katrina Mason sells many pieces of art from Disney, video games and movies at her Etsy shop CuttingPixels.
