Hop over to ClearKid‘s deviantart for the tutorial!

Reader Submission: Vocaloid Magnet Cosplay

I’m going to admit right now that I’m not cool enough to be aware of Vocaloid, and if you are similarly clueless I suggest you go educate yourself.

Sherry from miccostumes.com upcycled an old wedding dress to make a Vocaloid Magnet costume.

If you’re sat there behind your computer monitor going “OMG Squueeeeee =^.^= <3 <3 <3 Vocaloid!!!! <3” then you’re in luck, as Sherry has shared a how-to here.

Crochet Cat Bus

Crochet Cat BusIt’s Totoro week on Geekcrafts!  (No, it really isn’t)  What better way to get around all week than in your very own Cat Bus!  It should be noted that the bus is crocheted and fairly small, so it would help if you are also fairly small and don’t actually feel the need to go anywhere.

Etsian AmiAmigos has plenty of Totoro crafts for the Totoro lover in your house, but who could resist this awesome Cat Bus?  I know I couldn’t.

See for yourself how totally awesome this cat bus is!

Celebrate Totoro week on Geekcrafts! (It’s not Totoro week…but it should be.)
