Wibbly Wobbly, Dangley Earrings

Wibbly Wobbly, Dangley Earrings

Definitely dangling and definitely Rose Tyler’s earrings from the Season two episode named “Idiot Lantern”. Julie, aka oboe_wan on LiveJournal, is back and this time, she’s recreated the earrings that Rose Tyler wears in that episode. Not only does she offer the tutorial, for it, but she has created them in two different sizes, allowing the wearer to select the size that they’re more comfortable wearing.

A ‘Rose’ by any other name would love wearing these whether for cosplay or everyday. Thanks, Julie.

Awesome Knight helmet

Okay, okay bear with me.  I’m still working on my kid’s 4th birthday party, and I came across this awesome posterboard knight helmet tutorial on an English website (leave it to the English to have perfected the art of papercrafting a knight’s helmet!)  I was a little hesitant to make it because it seemed super complicated, but I did it, and it came out SUPER cute, and only took 5 minutes.  So, this ones for anyone who has a knight-loving tyke out there.  Check out the tutorial.

Tutorial Tuesday: Hollow Book Giftbox!

I just love the secret agent element to Franki’s hollowed out book tutorial.

If you’re giving a friend a gift in one of these home-made giftboxes, I wholeheartedly suggest you wear a mac and dark glasses meet aforementioned friend in a park at dusk. “You’ve never seen me, right!?” haha.

But seriously I’d love to make something like this as jewelery box…. excellent idea!
