What Team Are You On? Cap or Iron Man?

With this tutorial from Crafty McFangirl you won’t have to choose sides. You can make both cool boxes, and just in time for Mother’s Day, too. I don’t know a mom out there that doesn’t like organizational tools. Plus, you can run with the concept and techniques covered in the really excellent video tutorial and make boxes for all the Avengers (or Justice League too!).

It’s fun to dress like superheroes, but spandex isn’t comfortable and isn’t made to be worn every day. Nerdy t-shirts are another fun way to show your love for a character to the world, but they won’t keep you warm in the winter. What’s a geek to do? Add flair with an accessory like a scarf! Etsy seller OOAKrafts has a variety of fleece scarves featuring superhero logos; they look awesome and they’ll keep you cozy.

Superhero playroom

How’d you like to hang out in a playroom like this every day? Wouldn’t you just feel so empowered to take on whatever challenges the day brings?

Superhero SAHM Lori transformed an extra bedroom into an extra-awesome superhero-themed playroom for her boys, taking lots of ideas from the Internet – which she kindly linked in her blog post.

How do I love this room? Let me count the ways…

  • I love the “Time to Save the World” canvas that hangs beneath the clock.
  • I love how she reused decor from a Superhero Birthday Party to decorate the room – particularly that comic book page pennant banner.
  • I love the chalkboard painted frame that says, “Be your own hero!”
  • I love the Sharpie-drawn city skyline lampshade.
  • I love the superhero capes hanging at the ready on the wall.

Tutorial Tuesday: Avengers Bookmarks!

It’s SUMMER! which means 2 things, big movies in the cinema and little children off school!

Why not keep your boys and girls (nieces, cousins, little brothers?) occupied for a few hours making Crafts by Amanda’s super cute Avengers bookmarks out of lollipop sticks!

I like this craft specifically for the fact that (a) you have to eat a lot of popsicles first and (b) you get to read books after!
