Sometimes your mad laboratory needs a homey touch (especially if you spend more time there than you do at home).
You’re in luck! Sasha offers some super science-themed felt creations — including this charming microscope magnet — at her Etsy store What. No Mints?.
She also has other fuzzy creations for the chemistry nerd in your life, from Erlenmeyer Flasks key chains to brooches sporting the dopamine molecule.
New Craftster user Loefferst (I love finding new users!) came up with this design herself for an amigurumi Zoidberg from Futurama. She was also nice enough to share the pattern, so click through to see her post if you want to make your own. I’m in love with the teeny tiny felt clothes and accessories. And for those who aren’t Futurama experts, Loefferst says:
For those of you who are confused as to why there is a blue Zoidberg there is a parallel universe episode.

10. Unicorn Bookmark
The perfect way to hold your place in your favorite book. It is simple and elegant, but the colorful jewels lead to the little unicorn trinket. A discrete way to boast geek girl pride.
Hang your Unicorn pride around your neck with this clay necklace. This delicate piece captures the grace of the mythical beast, and the sparkling eye will capture attention.
This adorable unicorn is embroidered in bold colors on a heart fabric background. This little guy has some major personality with his spiky hair, flaring nostrils, and flower collar.
Everyone could use a cuddle Unicorn. This pattern for Luna will help you make a Unicorn army to take over the world with… or at least to snuggle with. Make one for every geeky girl you know and spread the Unicorn word.
This little Valentine Unicorn was sculpted from Polymer Clay. Her big eyes and swirly pink hair might be a cuteness overload for some, but shouldn’t everyone make an exception for cuteness on Valentines day?
We interrupt all of the previous cuteness with a revelation on the origins of rainbows. This 4×4 print says it all. Position it above your computer so the Unicorn appears to pour rainbow geekiness into your monitor.
This shirt makes me want to visit my mom’s ranch and wear it while horseback riding. Either that, or wear it while beating my friends in some Mario Cart.
3. Unicorn Hat
This hat is perfect if you want to tell the world about your Unicorn/Geek status. However, it might make it a little awkward if your friend is wearing the shirt featured in #4!
Some people appreciate a good trophy. This crochet Unicorn’s name is Matthew, and he perhaps got bested by a geek girl who then decided to show him off. Matthew is sure to make visitors do a double take.
The last in this roundup is an icon for many geek girls. The Last Unicorn is a book and movie that many grew up loving. This little plushie made from microplush, faux fur, and faux suede also has a wire skeleton that makes her poseable. The crafter artist did a great job of bringing to life our favorite Unicorn.
If you’re a Harry Potter fan and you haven’t seen any Potter Puppet Pals, go watch them right now. In fact, even if you aren’t a fan, watch them. They’re hilarious. Craftster user Troublet made this felt and embroidery Snape from “The Mysterious Ticking Noise” (my favorite PPP video). Oh, Troublet, could you please make something from “Wizard Swears?”
Check out more geeky felt goodness on her blog, The Trouble with Crafting.
While looking for camera cases, I stumbled upon hine’s shop on Etsy. Not only are the camera camera cases awesomely adorable, but the rotary iPhone cases really caught my eye. Remember old rotary phones?! I do. They were a pain to dial, made a whole bunch of noise, and just the handset was 10x bigger than my phone now… but this hand stitched iPhone case sure makes me slightly nostalgic for those old clunkers! Now I anxiously await more of her Etsy postings so I can have one of my very own :)
Terri, b/k/a etsy seller TerriFluffShop, is selling these awesome felt dolls of Mortal Kombat 3 characters Sindel and Cyrax . Although these characters are a little more obscure than your Johnny Cages and Liu Kangs, they are really well done. Just check out all the details on Cyrax’s armor! He even comes with his signature green web! (Or is it a net? I say it’s a web…)
If MK plushies are something you think you need, but maybe not in the form of Sindel or Cyrax, Terri says she can do other characters upon request! I would love a lil fuzzy Rayden or Scorpion in my craft room…
And check here to see Sindel’s notoriously terrible appearance in Mortal Kombat Annihilation (the second MK movie).
