How many times have you ever said to yourself, “I need an R2-D2 bra, but where would I find one?”
Look no further! Seamster over at Instructables has provided the pictures and a video on how to make one! And because Seamster is a guy, he calls this creation his “R2-Double-D2s.”
I love this submission we received. It’s such a simple idea that it’s one of those things you think “why haven’t I seen this before?”. The board is a metal plate, and all the pieces are magnetic so re-positionable for maximum retro-geek fun. I’m definitely planning on giving this a go. We get heaps of stupid free advertising fridge magnets in our mailbox, so perhaps this is a good way of upcycling them!
Head over to instructables.com for the How-To written by ChrysN. And don’t forget to post some pics below if you give this a try yourself! I’d love to see this applied to other games, such as a Space Invader calendar where each invader is a day of the month and you get to blow one up each morning – it would be especially nice to kill Mondays!
I found some AMAZING cookie cutters on WarpZone Prints on Etsy, and I just could not resist trying them out!! So, I ordered a few and here’s the finished result! I absolutely love them!! I also have a Mr. Drippy cutter, but I wasn’t able to get the cutter to come out very well, so that needs some practice I think! Athey Moravetz from WarpZone prints makes all the cutters with a 3D printer, and can make custom cutters as well as all the ones in the store!
Bazinga!
It’s your favourite physics geek, Sheldon Cooper, made into this adorable crochet doll by Jackie on A[mi]dorable Crochet! And there’s a free pattern for him! Squee!
AND… he’s even approved by none other than Jim Parsons, the actor who plays Sheldon in the Big Bang Theory!
There is also a Howard Wallowitz doll made by the same person! There’s no pattern, though, but I’m pretty sure the doll is the same as the Sheldon doll with different clothes/accessories! Hopefully she’ll soon make the whole BBT gang!
We all want to be part of The Avengers. Let’s face it. Maybe you’ve created your own superhero or maybe you really want to be Thor. Or Captain America. Or, well, Iron Man. (Or, if you’re me, you want to be Joss Whedon!)
Louie over at Louie’s Loops found a fun way to show off his love for comics and The Avengers — crocheted fingerless gloves in Iron Man’s colors, complete with Power Circles! Originally inspired by a pair he found on Etsy being sold by Nerdifacts, he created his own version and shared the pattern — for free!
Check out the pattern below and comment with your favorite Avengers crafts.
Help! My house is being Space Invaded!
Alright it isn’t – it’s just clever camera trickery in the form of flash stencilling. But it’s a pretty neat effect and a lot of fun, so I thought I’d share with you how it can be done.
