Here’s another great project from Craftster user obeselete…a Bubble Bobble softie. This one is only a prototype, but I think it looks great as is. Click through for a few more pictures.

Stitch by stitch and pixel by pixel, cross stitch is a great medium for geek crafts! Get out some graph paper and markers and see what kind of designs you can come up with.

The IT Crowd Cross Stitch

Flickr user a440 is a lucky guy. His wife cross stitched this based on a photo of the introduction to the UK sitcom The IT Crowd. The guy on the left is even wearing a Space Invaders t-shirt!

Flickr user Pixel Bit has gone cross stitch crazy! She stitched tons of buttons with different video game sprites on 20-count Aida fabric. For those of you who don’t cross stitch, 20-count is super teeny tiny! Click through to see them all individually.

Geek Crafts reader Kat sent us a link to her awesome blog of video game sprite t-shirts that she hand-paints as gifts for friends. She specializes in NES sprites. I am *so* impressed with how crisp and precise her painting is. I think the Bubble Bobble guy is my favorite.

Craftster user JenGoPop crocheted this fun little amigurumi Q-Bert and she even shares her pattern and instructions. Cool detail: she suggests putting pipe cleaners in his legs to make him poseable.

There are very few Q-Bert crafts on the Internet…if you’ve made any Q-Bert crafts, please email us!

Craftster user derwassi’s girlfriend was kind enough to paint Pac-Man on his bathroom walls. What geek wouldn’t like a Pac-Man bathroom?

Perler beads are perfect for recreating 8-bit video game characters and scenes. They can be used for all kinds of amazing geeky crafts and are so easy to use, anyone can do it. Below you will find 10 incredible examples of the things you can do with Perler beads.

1. Super Mario Brothers in Perler Beads

Danny_8bit makes some elaborate Perler bead art. This little scene from Super Mario Brothers is attached to a briefcase.

2. Float Eye Boss from Final Fantasy

The Float Eye Boss from Final Fantasy has great shading. Faith9990 really got the details in on this one. Is it just me or does this guy look like an evil version of Mike from Monsters, Inc.?

3. Pokemon

I know my eight-year-old could tell me who all these little guys are. For now, I’ll take Fashion’s word that they are Pokemon and they are an impressive collection.

4. R2D2

Here at Geek Crafts, we seem to always end up back on Star Wars. Flickr user Copy + Waste made this huge R2D2 from Perler beads.

5. Ape Lad’s Spock illustration

I’m not a big Star Trek fan, but this is the second Star Trek craft that I really like (the other was the Spock apron). blakewest did a great job capturing the look of the original illustration.

6. Donkey Kong in Perler Beads

Here’s another one from Danny_8bit: a very elaborate Donkey Kong/Burgertime combo scene - not sure why the two games are mixed, but it still looks great!

7. Sinistar

Wow - what an incrdible likeness of the evil Sinistar himself. Awesome job done by CoderKev. “Run, coward!”

8. Space Invaders Key Chains

Faith9990 does it again with these little Space Invaders keychains. They aren’t attached yet, but if you look closely, you can see that a bead is purposely missing from each one to attach the keyring to.

9. Gameboy Color 3D

I love the dimensional Perler bead crafts. Doctor Octoroc used what looks to be three layers of beads to make this Gameboy Color 3D.

10. Samus Aran vs. Omega Metroid

And one more by Doctor Octoroc: Samus Aran vs. Omega Metroid. I think this is the most detailed Perler Bead art I have seen. Details + shading + size = pure awesomeness. (I don’t think that’s a direct quote there from Samus)

Etsy seller n2Imaginations knitted this Space Invaders sweater last fall. Check out the scores on the sleeve.

I saved the best for last. IKEA hacker posted this bjursta table hack by Eric. The table leaves pull out, revealing a Pac-Man sit-down MAME cabinet. Who wouldn’t want to play Pac-Man every night after dinner?

And thus ends Pac-Man week. Let’s hit the arcade!

Alicia Kachmar blogs about her life and crafts on Create! She designed this cute little crocheted iPod cozy complete with bead dots for Pac-Man to eat.
