I love his little eyes. He looks like Cookie Monster… if Cookie Monster was a Christmas Tree.
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!

t’is the season to make stuff for people because you’re too poor to buy them actual gifts from actual shops :-)
That being the case, here I am again to help you find awesome tutorials from around the interwebs. Here’s Malmow‘s stack-of-books pendant, she tells you how she made it here.
Great for bookworms and student friends alike, you could even try and etch tiny tiny titles and authors on the teeny tiny spines, DO IT!
A few years ago I considered myself quite clever for printing a screenshot of World of Warcraft‘s Grandfather Winter on label paper and slapping it on a CD to make a Christmas ornament for my son. Oh, the shame, when I compare that to this amazing stocking project.
Amy Campbell recently shared this stocking project in the Geeks United in Crafts Facebook group, and I had to immediately run over and share it here. Here’s how she described the project on her blog, A Harpy’s Point of View:
It was “a surprise gift for friends we met through World of Warcraft and their delightful little son… I took screenshots from the game World of Warcraft to get Grandfather Winter (aka Santa) and the tree from Orgrimmar. I then got pictures of my friends’ characters off the Armory. I shopped the three images together, including some presents from under the tree. Next, I made a patter using PC Stitch Pro.”
Seriously, as my son described it, legit. He also forgave me for my unimaginative ornament.
Now surely, I can get one of these whipped out by Christmas Eve, right?
Also, don’t forget GeekCraft founder Shayne is looking for Garden gnome projects for her ebook.
