Here’s a Dr. Who craft that I missed last week. Flickr user Futuregirl_LeahRiley started with a store-bought pouch and then created a Tardis with felt, embroidery and paper.

Flickr user createitcottage hand sewed these fun robot pins out of felt. Seed beads and embroidery finish them off.

Oh, my word. I think these are the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. Craftster user giddygirly needle-felted presidents for a  contest. She says,

“I entered a contest to celebrate the release of a new book (titled “Beards of our Forefathers”) and so I made a set of US presidents who wore beards. Except Garfield, because Garfield isn’t funny.

Each president is approx. 3 inches tall, and their heads are about the size of a penny or nickel.”

Dr. Who is a new and an old classic, kinda like Battlestar Galactica. It has a loyal following of thousands and thousands of fans. So is it surprising that some of these fans have made crafts to honor their favorite TV show? I think not. Here you will find some of the various Dr. who crafts we were able to find on the interwebz. Enjoy the geeky craftiness…

Tardis Cake

CraftZine posted this Tardis cake from Craftster user Umbrolly earlier this week. This inspired me to look for all these great Dr. Who crafts.

Mr. T is awesome. WrestleMania, Rocky III, The A-Team…did you know Mr. T has three kids? How cool must that be to have Mr. T as your dad! I pity the fools who don’t think these Mr. T crafts are totally rad.

Little Mr. T

Etsy seller Kezzaroo sells these super cute Little Mr. T dolls made of felt at three inches tall. Kezzaroo also offers this Mr. T trivia tidbit:
