Monster Bag

Yea! More monsters! This monster bag if from Craftster averyg. She says, “Once upon a time, almost one year ago, I made a monster bag. This was no ordinary monster bag, as this monster bag was a very special boy. This monster bag was HUGE- the hugest monster bag around… How huge you may ask? SO huge that he could easily gobble up 3 laptops, a couple textbooks AND still be hungry…”

Yoda Hat + Market Bag

My friend Heather Mann is always making great stuff (like the Star Wars finger puppets Renee posted about last week) but my favorites from her lately have to be her Yoda crafts. She made this fantastic fleece hat and wrote a tutorial for it on her Dollar Store Crafts blog — the total cost for the project is under $1!

Heather also did a Star Wars swap over at Craftster recently and made this awesome appliqued Yoda market bag in Jedi robe colors for her partner. You can use her instructions and this free morsbag pattern to make one for yourself, too.

Heather’s hat tutorial has totally inspired me to make a head-to-toe Yoda costume for my one-year-old daughter Pearl for Halloween. I’ll post more pictures when I’ve made my version — I’m figuring out the robe, snake and walking stick right now!

Twilight Tote Bag

Craftster ysmeine made this dreamy Twilight tote bag

“from two posters that I got in a magazine. They are covered in vinyl and interfaced, so that it is very sturdy. I used scrap webbing and lining fabric that I had on hand.”

Sorry for the brief teenage girl moment.

I Heart Math Bag

I Heart Math Bag

Can you get any geekier than carrying a bag that says “I Heart Math”? Craftster user Casstasstrophie created her own rubber stamp and applied it to these cross body hipster bags that she sewed for a swap.

Yarrrrrn Pirate Embroidered Knitting Tote

Yarn Pirate Embroidered Knitting Tote

Arrrgh. Pirate humor always amuses me, and this knitting tote with embroidery by Craftster user Urban Threads is no exception. She machine-embroidered the skull and knitting crossbones patch and attached it to a store-bought tote using Patch Attach glue.

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:

Ollie by Guy Robot

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.”
