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.

Can you hear the “bloop bloop bloop”? FuzzyFelties on Etsy is selling this awesome set of needle-felted Pac-Man characters (largest is 1”W x 2”H). You get Pac-Man and four ghosts (love those eyes!) for $32 plus shipping.

Needle-felting has become really popular lately. Crafters are felting everything from animals to food to accessories. With only two tools needed – special barbed needles and a big chunk of foam – this is an easy craft to get started with. Wool roving comes in every color imaginable and kits are readily available. Craftlog has a simple tutorial. A Wii Mii would probably look great in felt.

• Needle-felted Pac-Man characters

This item is available on Etsy. The creator describes it thusly: “it is entirely needle felted out of wool fiber with sterling silver wire, chain and clasp”. I’ll be honest, I don’t know what most of that means - I don’t sew. I do know that is a cool craft though.
