A big thanks to Lilian for dropping this great etsy find in my inbox! What better to house your latest technological gadget in, than this retro style NES Controller iPhone Case made by SplashingKoi? I can’t even begin to properly embrace the techno-geekiness of finding a way to combine the iPhone with NES, but I’m going to try.
I adore this clever needle-felted iPhone cozy made by UrbanCraft – what’s even better is that she’s actually the owner of a pink Motorola flip phone:
She listed the apps on her flickr page, from top left to right:
easy wi-fi, youtube, clock, flickr
wordpress, calendar, stocks, weather
iTurn, french, iLuna, projects
google earth, sketchpad, Obama, calculator
phone, mail, Safari, iPod
I also loved her rocket ship to disguise a thermostat
and her gorgeous Coraline mystery box, including this tiny sweater, for this spring’s swap.
Nicely done on all counts!
MzKitty submitted her awesome Meatwad Cell Phone Charm that she is selling on her etsy page. This Aqua Teen Hunger Force bite sized charm is made from polymer clay and metal findings, and he’s just awesome! Thanks MzKitty!
Craftster user Conburstt made these iPhone cupcakes for a friend’s birthday. You can’t go wrong with edible electronics.
Knightsgarrison recently posted her Ahsoka Tano/Harley Quinn mashup on Imgur, because a friend (pictured above) wanted to cosplay as Ahsoka at Star Wars Celebration, but knowing that Ahsoka is to Star Wars as Harley Quinn is to literally every other con in the world, we figured…they’d just do both. It was her first time building something so involved and she learned (and screwed up) a lot along the way. She’s pretty proud of the results.
The seams drove her crazy. Luckily, it’s canon that Ahsoka sometimes wears head/lekku jewelry, so she bought some studded ribbon and glued it on. It doesn’t hide everything, but it helps a lot.
Total build time was 24 hours, spread it out over a month, and the total cost was about $100.
And as a total score, Knightsgarrison’s friend got a picture with the voice of Ahsoka herself: Ashley liked it so much she asked her assistant to take a picture with her own phone.
Thanks to the crazy Black Friday sales this past November, I got an uber cheap Kindle Fire for the holidays. So, I’ve been on the hunt for some kind of cover or sleeve to make for my new toy, and I found this great tutorial. It’s a DIY Harry Potter Kindle Covers tutorial by Jess at Practically Functional. The tutorial has lots of great pictures and takes you step-by-step through the entire process of making these cute Kindle Covers. You’ll need to come up with your own pattern pieces, but everything’s made from felt which is a pretty easy medium to work with. Plus, you can size this DIY to fit whatever e-reader (or tablet, or phone, etc . . . ) you want. What’s more, if you’re feeling adventurous, you could adapt the pattern for a character from another House too.
