Here’s a fantastic amigurumi pattern from Nerdigurumi.
Should make some for the parents too, because when you’re a parent you wish you could have eyes on your feet… and in the back of your head…
Also I would completely wear these… like… outside :-)
Have you ever found that your face just isn’t expressive enough?
Ever looked at your cat and thought “wow, you’re really onto something there!”… well get yourself out of that litterbox and hop over to Instructables for Abetusk‘s tutorial on how to make these stunning Animatronic Cat Ears!
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!
This picture does not do this epic project any justice!
The Internet better be all over this soon! Hear that Pinterest?! I want to see Aperture Labs living rooms, kitchens and nurseries before Easter!

I own a purse made from soda pop tops (or pull tabs or whatever you want to call them). It’s somewhere between this Socorro design (it’s a shoulder bag) and the Masha design (not a messenger bag, but it has a flap closure). I did not, however, pay upwards of $100—I lucked out and bought it at Goodwill for a mere $8. Best. Purchase. Ever.
So I’ve been thinking about other things one might make out of soda tabs, and it appears I’m not alone. There are projects galore (complete with handy tutorials) geared toward both fashion plates and Ren Faire nerds. Thought it’d be worth posting a roundup of some of the more interesting projects and different techniques I’ve come across thus far. Oh, and they all seem quite manageable, as long as you have patience and access to a vast quantity of pop tops. Here are a few of my favorites:
Macaroon + Wampa = Wamparoon!!
Landa (Jennifer) Calrissian, known across the interwebs for dressing up as the death star at San Diego Comic Con, recently shared with us a super cute video tutorial for how to make Wampa Macaroons!
OMNOMNOMNOMNOM!!!
