This necklace is awesome. I love Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and I always loved the Hatter and the March Hare. This wonderful necklace from JezebelCharms on Etsy captures the mood of Wonderland beautifully.
Browsing through her shop, you can find many items just oozing with geeky charm. Like another really awesome steampunk necklace with a Doctor Who theme.
My friend Jenn of justJENN Designs is one of the biggest Star Wars geeks I know and is quite crafty with food items. She threw The Ultimate Star Wars Party this past fall and it was mind blowing. The extensive menu included creations such as the Death Star Watermelon, Princess Leia Cupcakes, Han Solo in Carbonite Jell-o and much more. Jenn provided the recipes or how-to instructions for all of the items so you can craft your own Star Wars party.
Shanna Hampton just let us know that her husband’s geeky-cool Etsy shop, Pixel Party is barrelling towards their 500th sale, and number 500 will win a prize! The Geek Bracelet pictured on the left is among some really cool pixel art, so get that order in if you want a chance at being number 500!
You’re throwing a party, and you want to have fun party favors to give to your guests, but you can’t find anything you like? The company Spoonflower just shared this great idea for making your own slap bracelets using their woven peel and stick wallpaper sample. The sample measures 2′ x 1′, so it’s a very generous size, and it only costs $7.50. You can use existing designs from any of their thousands of indie designers, or you can customize your own. They even have a template you can download and use to customize your bracelets, and the tutorial has step-by-step instructions with great pictures too. Just imagine, you can custom make party favors to match your party’s theme. Just be sure to give yourself enough time to order the wallpaper sample since it can take about 2 weeks to get the finished product in the mail.
Looking for a fun craft to help combat cabin fever? Kelly at Sewing in No Mans Land has you covered!
Just grab some empty water bottles, foil, electrical tape, streamers, and a few other materials and you too can create these awesome jet packs. (You/your kids must supply your own wooshing noises, but I’m guessing those won’t be in short supply.)
Be sure to hop over to her post for the how-to, plus adorable pics of her little man in action.
