Lego Halloween Costume

Two years ago, CRAFT: did a fun round-up of quick and easy Halloween costumes to make for kids, and Diana Eng made a fantastic Lego costume out of a cardboard box!

You could easily adapt this to an adult size, or make a whole flock of them in different colors for you and your friends — and how cute would a toddler be Lego-ized?

For more Halloween costume ideas for kids, check out CRAFT:’s other tutorials for pirate, bee, sushi, and monkey costumes. I made the monkey one with my nephew in mind, and it’s one of my favorite projects ever!

Crime Scene Bathroom

Crime Scene Bathroom

I love themed rooms and this crime scene bathroom by Craftster user blitzkriegbetty is quite creepy. She planned the “‘accuracy’ of my splatters, I use to watch a lot of the criminal shows CSI, Law & Order, NCSI (and I mean A LOT) so I’ve already got my arterial spray, cast-off, and all that good stuff planned out =D” and used a real knife for that towel holder. Cue the Psycho music. Be sure to click through for some more photos.

Star Wars Baby Shower Cake

Every once in awhile I scan cakewrecks in an effort to feel better about my cake decorating abilities, and come up short because they have chosen to post something like this Star Wars Baby Shower Cake made by Woulett Bakery. Honestly? I don’t have words other than: pure, deep fried, golden, awesome. The perfect geeky shower cake for the Dark-Side loving expectant parent in your life.

Chlamydia Plushie

Isn’t that just the cutest little STD? Okay, I admit, you don’t usually hear the words “chlamydia” and “cute” in the same sentence, but that’s really what makes this little guy so special. For seven bucks and shipping, scientificculture will send you this adorable Chlamydia Plushie, plus a name tag and a little fact sheet.  And really, if that isn’t enough, here’s a portion of the sales pitch:

The overwhelming cuteness of Chlamydia trachomatis is sure to compliment any room, office, or workspace without the painful pathogenic reality of the real thing. Makes a great gift for friend and foe alike.
