Okay, it’s cool enough that these 8-bit popup cards exist, but it’s even better that there’s a tutorial so you can make your own. Not just Space Invaders and a pixel skull, but a pixel heart, too. These are so adorable and the instructions look pretty easy, too.
Craftster user ChrisSews wanted to make something that a guy would enjoy opening at a couples baby shower. Since the guy in question is into zombies, she came up with a Zombie Training ball. She says,
I embroidered the baby zombie, and the “Future Zombie Hunter” on black satin and white flannel. I found this great black and red skull fabric and also used some red velvet, red grid fleece, white striped terry to make lots of different textures for the baby. I also added some ribbon taggies. I finished it off with black felt end caps embroidered with the biohazard symbol.
This baby will be prepared for the inevitable zombie invasion right from the start!
Arrrgh. Pirate humor always amuses me, and this knitting tote with embroidery by Craftster user Urban Threads is no exception. She machine-embroidered the skull and knitting crossbones patch and attached it to a store-bought tote using Patch Attach glue.
