Quit Dragon Your Feet and Get Started on This Blanket!

Dragon blanket by MJs Off the Hook Designs

You may have seen the various mermaid tail blankets all over Pinterest lately – check out this dragon version! MJ of MJ’s Off the Hook Designs created this beauty incorporating two strands of bulky weight yarn with a Q hook, in newborn to adult sizes.

She also has other varieties, including a dolphin, large mouth bass, and a car seat cozy collection. And her shark blanket went viral during Shark Week!

Done with a large Q hook, I’m curious how quick these dragon blankets stitch up. Have you tried one of these cocoon type blankets? How long did it take you? Share your experience with us in the comments below!

A Droid in a Droid

This paper mache BB-8 was actually made to function as an almost life size gift box, by karmaforme, who recently posted it to Imgur, to showcase the wrapping job he did for his brother-in-law. He took a regular square U-Haul box, added side pieces to make it round, filled in the spaces with wadded up newspaper and tape, and covered it in paper mache. BB8’s head was a separate piece, complete with chop stick antennae. He left the bottom of the box with its original flat side, so his friend could access the gift inside: a smaller BB-8.

His brother-in-law teaches robotics, so his students will no doubt enjoy this as a decoration in his classroom.

Duct Tape and Cardboard Dinosaurs and Dragons (Oh My!)

dinosaur heads

Veggisaurus on Imgur has been posting photos of his work for an upcoming con: duct tape and cardboard dinosaurs. But recently, he added a new creation: Toothless from “How To Train Your Dragon.”

I couldn’t find Veggisaurus on Etsy so I don’t know if he sells these heads, and I even tried that reverse Google image search…no luck on finding out anything more about him. How an artist of that caliber is hiding is beyond me, especially when you consider where he level of work was two years ago.

I guess the closest thing available would be the Dinosaur Corporation: But does your child have the ultimate dinosaur bedroom accessory-a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex or Velociraptor head wall mount onto keep them safe and sound? Dinosaur Wall Mount Replicas are beautifully detailed, it’s made of high quality resin and mounted securely on a wooden trophy plaque.

The Geek’s Bedroom

221863_06May15_12

Arachnea, a self-proclaimed geek from Ontario, posted this project on Craftster and called it, “The Geek’s Bedroom.”

She said she’s a geek and so is her husband, so she decided to create a roombox miniature of a geek’s bedroom. More specifically: a comic book geek. In the series of photos she posted, Arachnea included an amazing amount of details in her little room: furniture, a rug, a ton of books, comics, candy wrappers, a little t-shirt, an even posters and stuff on a bulletin board! It’s the kind of place I’d like to hang out.
