Dr. Who is a new and an old classic, kinda like Battlestar Galactica. It has a loyal following of thousands and thousands of fans. So is it surprising that some of these fans have made crafts to honor their favorite TV show? I think not. Here you will find some of the various Dr. who crafts we were able to find on the interwebz. Enjoy the geeky craftiness…
CraftZine posted this Tardis cake from Craftster user Umbrolly earlier this week. This inspired me to look for all these great Dr. Who crafts.
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!
Craftster user Sleepy Tortuga posted her first ever plushies – Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. These may be the cutest Star Wars things I’ve ever seen. (Not really being an Ewok fan…is anyone?)
