Vickie Howell has done it again with these super cute pixelated Pac-Man cupcakes for her son’s birthday party — I love them!
She gives a complete tutorial over at her blog so you can try making your own version… and don’t miss her Mario wrist warmers and stenciled wall art projects, too!
This adorable little Crocheted Goomba of Super Mario Bros. landed in my inbox after Kelli, from KelliKyle, had to come up with an alternate gift for Kyle (of KelliKyle)’s brother, since their usual yearly gift exchange hit a speed bump.
So now that you’ve stuffed your face, it’s time to empty your wallet! Or, if you’re looking to save some cash, it’s time to get crafting! In honor of Black Friday (the shopaholic’s national holiday and every retail worker’s worst nightmare) here are some Black Crafts (note: not Dark Arts, that’s a differnent blog all together).
Chain Chomp Hat
The Knitting Ninja posted this Chain Chomp Hat on her blog. Chomps may not be the most commonly knitted Mario Bros villian, but they are the ones that look the coolest when they appear to be eating your head.
Mad Dog Softie
Morus sewed this Mad Dog Softie from the book “Softies Only A Mother Could Love” and posted it on craftster. He’s not particularly geeky, but he’s freaking adorable in an “I’m gonna bite your face off” sort of way.
Big thanks to everyone who submitted a geek craft! Through the very scientific process of my husband and I picking the entries we liked best, here are the winners:
ICandee made this scene from Mario Brothers in polymer clay.
Tae submitted this absolutely amazing Millennium Falcon cake on Ace of Cakes. How could anyone stand to cut this one up?
This very cute crocheted Pi symbol was made by Alicia Kachmar and submitted by Taine HR.
JasonT was inspired by a project on the Star Wars Kids Craft blog and made his own Bantha plushie.
LyricalDevil submitted this Zelda Triforce drink, recipe by The Domestic Scientist. I think this is the first beverage we’ve had on Geek Crafts.
Taine HR, Lyrical Devil, JasonT, Tae and ICandee – send your real name and address to shayne@geekcrafts.com so I can send you your prize packs!
