This has got to be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen that’s made of felt! Craftster user loudxmouse sewed this completely amazing Rancor from Return of the Jedi. Click through for more pictures…check out the drool! Awesome!
Mr. T is awesome. WrestleMania, Rocky III, The A-Team…did you know Mr. T has three kids? How cool must that be to have Mr. T as your dad! I pity the fools who don’t think these Mr. T crafts are totally rad.
Etsy seller Kezzaroo sells these super cute Little Mr. T dolls made of felt at three inches tall. Kezzaroo also offers this Mr. T trivia tidbit:
“Mr.T once punched Chuck Norris at the exact moment he roundhouse kicked Mr.T in the chest.”
Robots are cool. Do a search on “robot” at etsy.com and you’ll get more than 2,000 results. Flickr serves up another 1,500. Plushies, etched glass, metalworks – anything goes for making robots. Here are a few:
Bitterbethany was inspired by Jess Hutchinson and Hillary Lang to make this soft robot. The zipper mouth and snap buttons are great details!
Here’s another robot inspired by Hillary Lang of Wee Wonderfuls. Check out sknittymama’s Flickr for more robots.
Melisdramatic traced her daughter Ivy’s robot drawing to do this embroidery. What is this robot thinking?
And another from Jess Hutchinson‘s “Unusual Toys for You to Knit and Enjoy.” This was Lily Dustbin’s first robot attempt. Naturally, she plans on knitting more. There’s no such thing as too many robots.
These cute little robot brooches are made of felt. And they’re a miniature version of Andricongirl’s larger robots.
I really love this ugly tie / vinyl robot combination. Click through to The Rocket Workshop’s Flickr to read the elaborate tale of David the Unappreciated Robot’s work life.
My Imaginary Boyfriend made these cute, felt robots as part of a Craft A Day challenge. She plans on attaching plastic bases to these his-and-hers robots so they can be used as wedding cake toppers.
This sweet robot print is available from CraftieRobot’s Etsy shop. At 8 1/2 x 11 inches, it would make a great addition to the wall of any room.
This robot is fun *and* functional :) Unzip his mouth to store your money and other small things. Also, I’m just a sucker for glitter vinyl.
BreadandBadger is freehand-etching shot glasses with a rotary tool for your drinking needs. No two robots are alike.
Reusable shopping bags are all the rage right now, as they should be. Go green with these screen-printed robot bags.
Guy Robot turns junk into robots. Be sure to check out his entire web site for robot-y goodness. This here is Ollie:
“Ollie is one tough robot, built to handle a heap of abuse. Rocks and worse just bounce off of his head. Ollie’s body armor is bomb-squad certified, he can squat thrust twice his weight. Once, on a dare, he did eleven thousand pull-ups.”
Thanks to MrMunki and instructables, you can make robots too. These ornaments are even solar-powered. Now get to it!

Our first Weekend 10 installment is all about everyone’s favorite Star Wars droid, R2-D2.
Flickr user sugarlipscakes made this R2-D2 cake for Dave’s 30th birthday. Dave’s a lucky man.
The Contaminated posted this incredible R2-D2 case modification. Unfortunately, there’s no instructions or further information. Not that any of us mere mortals could duplicate this amazing feat of engineering anyway.
My inspiration for making these were the “Tetrius Puzzle Game Magnets” from ThinkGeek. I had a TG gift certificate I had to spend and came across them. I thought they would be cool to put on the fridge or on my metal cabinet at work. As luck would have it, they were out of stock at the time and I started thinking… it should be easy to make something like that at home for much less than $10 for a set. So, what follows is how to make your own.
