Captain America Clothing Crafts

Even though Captain America 3 isn’t scheduled to come out until 2016, and Avengers: Age of Ultron is coming out in May, Steve Rogers would say that every day is a good day for Truth, Honor, and Patriotism!

If you’d like to display your love for Captain America, there are several fashionable DIYs for you to do so!

First, Comm Couture created a freedom trifecta of Cap Pacs for herself and her two sons, in less than one day! She used some different colored felt , some straps, and voila!

Deviantart user AcidDaisy took the stars and stripes to a whole new level with her fashionable Captain America Dress. She also created an incredibly helpful tutorial on how to make your own as well!

Lastly, if you’re looking for a more subtle homage, Tumblr user Tehnakki came up with a beautiful floral emblem of Cap’s Shield to decorate her sweatshirt with, making it a wonderful example of geek chic. She’s posted the pattern shapes she used, as well as a pdf with detailed instructions for everyone who’d like to try it themselves.

Hopefully that was enough of the First Avenger for you! Happy crafting!

Agents of Shield: Alien Script Scarf

Agents of Shield, is the show that kept slowly worming its way into my heart, and now I’m glad I stuck with it. And speaking of worming its way, Coulson has been having some issues with some Alien writing for some time now. He finally has some answers, and we have a pattern for a scarf to wear.

ConcertiGrossi over on Tumblr created the charts so you can have your own alien script without having to visit Tahiti, I hear it’s a magical place. It is a double knit scarf, which means you work both sides at the same time and end up with a mirror image of what you are working on.

Tis The Season…to Carve a Pumpkin

We are fast approaching the most wonderful time of the year….Halloween. Was there another time you were thinking of? I’m elbows deep in Styrofoam, hair, and glue trying to put the last bits of my costume together. And its almost time to bring out the box of Halloween decorations and start getting wild. This also means Pumpkin carving.

Over at Pink Raygun they have pumpkin carving templates for the nerd inside of us all and have already gotten started with a S.H.I.E.L.D. template.

Now who wouldn’t want that at your front door? There are sure to be plenty of Avengers coming for a visit. Possibly a few agents who think Tahiti is “a magical place”. You know the important things.

DIY Superhero Shield

My daughter would love to have this in her dress-up trunk! Jessee Maloney of Art School Dropout designed this awesome super hero shield project as a birthday gift for her two-year-old, starting with a Frisbee. I love it – it’s definitely Captain America-worthy!
