Ok, so I cheated a bit, it’s not really a tutorial, but Technabob reader Florian Aich has certainly made himself one awesome conversation piece. I’m putting it up as a Tutorial Tuesday, because all you need is is colored LEDs plus Portal-shaped mirrors and you’re sorted. A geeky art installation to be proud of. Just don’t try and chuck a ball through to test it, your mom/husband/wife/children will be mad.
Oh Instructables, you never disappoint…
This week Instructables user ZombieGorilla has posted a tutorial on how to make a massive Lego Skeleton! Because EVERYONE needs one of those in their lives!
There’s not much else to say really… GIANT LEGO SKELETON… beats garden gnomes and fake flamingoes any day…

The folks over at NicNacNoodle have cooked you up a scrummy Princess Leia headband tutorial.
The best bit is ,you don’t have to knit or crochet or anything like that! Infact this’d be a great rainy day project to keep the kids busy (and keep them geeky!)
Now you can dress up as Princess Leia without using 3 tins of hairspray, WINNING!
And for today’s Tutorial Tuesday I bring you an awesome video tutorial by CutePolish.
Check out the curiously accurate Darth Vader voice…
