My daughter is very into “Gir” these days – the sidekick from the Invader Zim cartoon. She’s hoping to pull together a Gir costume for Halloween. So in researching various DIY options, I pulled together this roundup of Gir crafts.
BehindtheSofa created her own Gir cross-stitch pattern, and stitched it onto a black hoodie.
When I was a kid, I used to love Shrinky Dinks, so these Dog Gir/Robot Gir earrings by Lynn Aquaheart caught my eye.
According to popular theories held by physics professors the world over, cupcakes are delicious. That’s why I absolutely adore these cupcakes made by quaint_idea for her last ever high school physics class. I’m pretty sure I skipped my last ever high school physics class to pump iron or something equally manly, but I am glad to see that some people have more class than that.
Take a closer look at the cupcakes here, they were posted on a livejournal group called geekcrafts because great minds think alike and all that.
You can also visit quaint_idea at her LJ page here.

My friend Jenn of justJENN Designs is one of the biggest Star Wars geeks I know and is quite crafty with food items. She threw The Ultimate Star Wars Party this past fall and it was mind blowing. The extensive menu included creations such as the Death Star Watermelon, Princess Leia Cupcakes, Han Solo in Carbonite Jell-o and much more. Jenn provided the recipes or how-to instructions for all of the items so you can craft your own Star Wars party.
