Star Trek Beaded Curtain

LovelyMiss recently posted her Star Trek insignia beaded curtain at Craftster. It’s made of 12,267 pony beads strung on 36″ strands of 3mm macrame cord. Each strand is 141 beads, and there are 87 strands. She made the strands about 6″ longer than needed and then just tied them around the dowel. LovelyMiss put a little hot glue in the knots to hold them in place and then trimmed the ends. The cords are on a 36″ dowel and the curtain itself weighs about 10 lbs. She even painted the dowel as well.

LovelyMiss figured it too about 25-30 hours of beading, and then another 8 hours of prep work (measuring the beads and doing necessary math, making patterns, pre-cutting lengths of cord).

She even included her pattern in her post, in case anyone else wants to make one for themselves.

Make Your Own Tiny Great White Shark

I’m a huge Sharknado fan, and with the fourth movie installment approaching, I thought I’d scrounge the internet for fun shark-themed DIYs to share. I found this adorable, cute Tiny Great White Shark amigirumi pattern on Ravelry. The pattern is designed by Kelly DeSandro, and you can download it for free! The instructions are very detailed and come with some great pictures too. Can you imagine a whole swirling sharknado of these little guys? Yes, please!

Coffee In A Half Shell, Caffeine Power!

With the latest movie hitting the box office, I went in search for some TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Tutorials) to share with you all! I found this cool coffee cozy knitting pattern on Ravelry, designed and posted by Strawberry Knits. The mask actually ties in back, and you can of course pick the color of your favorite turtle for your own ninja-powered coffee accessory. You can download the pattern free, and there’s a simpler version where the mask is knitted as part of the body of the cozy instead of separately. You even have the option of downloading just the written pattern or a pattern and photo tutorial. Have at it, knitting ninjas!

Just a mini gallery to share with you all today: Vincent Van Gogh, in cross stitch form, courtesy of itsmereba from San Antonio, TX.

While itsmereba did the cross stitching to create this lil’Dutch master, the pattern comes from Cloudsfactory, of Monteforte Irpino, Italy.

Dark Phoenix-Inspired Ballgown

cWfoNml

Wavecrestian recently showed off her Dark Phoenix inspired ballgown. She spent the last two or so months working on it. The dress was modified from a commercial pattern but the design is all her own. She had to create a petticoat design to support the skirt since the actual petticoat pattern didn’t have enough floof!

Wig and crown and gloves to come! Unfortunately, I can’t find her anywhere else online, so I don’t have any more info available about the dress. Basing a previous Imgur post from her, I’m assuming this is going to be for cosplay somewhere.
