Piranha Plant Papercut
Your plants either drown or die of thirst, but you still yearn for some nature in your living room? I know what you mean. My flowers in Plants versus Zombies hate me.
Now, paper might not be the same as roots and leafs, but at least it’s made of trees! So why not decorate your wall with this Super Mario Brothers papercut silhouette? You’d rather have real foliage? Katrina Mason sells many pieces of art from Disney, video games and movies at her Etsy shop CuttingPixels.

How to Train Your Dragon – Toothless Plush
One of my favorite movies is How To Train Your Dragon – I especially love Toothless, the Nightfury dragon that Hiccup befriends over the course of the movie. One of the problems for Toothless fans everywhere, though, was the fact that the official plush for the movie looked downright ugly. (I’ll spare you all and not link to it here!) nooby-banana on DeviantArt, however, created a solution to that problem.
This Toothless Plush looks much better than the official movie plush! There’s a tutorial for creating a Toothless of your very own that starts here – it’s split into seven parts, and is pretty easy to follow. I’ve even made my own Toothless following the pattern – and while it was definitely time-consuming, it was worth all the work.
This guy here is the one I made – you can read more about him here!

Wreck-It Ralph Cross Stitch
Wreck-It Ralph is a delightfully geeky movie about a video game bad guy who just wants to be a hero. It’s one of my most favorite movies, and I’m always looking for craft projects that are Wreck-It Ralph themed. I stumbled across this awesome pattern last week, and plan on getting started on a bad-guy affirmation of my own soon.

Harry Potter Chess Set
We are big Harry Potter fans at my house – my husband read every book out loud to us as a family, and of course we saw all the movies. Not only was it fantastic to see the stories played out on the big screen, but it was fun to watch the actors grow older with each new movie. And some surprises there – Neville Longbottom, anyone??
But I digress. Let’s get on with the geek-crafting sharing. I saw this Harry Potter Chess Set with fun matching bag on Mod Podge Rocks recently, and knew you all would want to see it too. Thankfully the original project is shared on Instructables, so you can conjure up your own magically strategic set, too!

Introducing Leah!
Hello internet! My name is Leah and I’m super excited to be one of the newbies on the Geek Crafts writing team! I’ll be popping in on Wednesday afternoons to share some of my favourite geeky-crafty finds. In fact, you may have noticed a couple of posts from me already, both of which featured awesome embroideries. I’m pretty smitten with textile art, so you can expect to see more of the same from me. I love anything crafty and clever (and geeky) though!
I’m originally from a wee town in Newfoundland, Canada, but am currently living in a big town in British Columbia, Canada. My home on the internet is Zombies Wearing Helmets, which is kind of a rambling record of my life, my crafts, and random things that make me lol. (Zombies fall into all three of those categories, so the title is actually quite appropriate.) I work in retail (yuck!) and volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation centre (yay!). I enjoy playing board games, birding, thrifting, and collecting all sorts of odd things – vintage craft books, dinosaurs, zombies, shells, rocks, owls and macramé. (Macramé owls are twice the fun!).
My geekiness is a mix of horror, sci-fi, and silliness. Here are some lists! (I really like lists!) My favourite monsters are zombies, more zombies, xenomorphs, triffids, Gill-Man, and Godzilla. My favourite TV shows are Red Dwarf, Star Trek, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, The Simpsons, Futurama and The Golden Girls. My favourite comics are The Walking Dead, Chew, Calvin & Hobbes, and Mouse Guard. My favourite authors are Stephen King, Arthur C. Clarke, Anne Rice, and Neil Gaiman. My favourite superheros are Wolverine, The Hulk, and Spider-Man. My favourite movies are Night of the Living Dead, Dead-Alive, Jurassic Park, Alien, Predator, MST3K, Little Shop of Horrors (1986), The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Donnie Darko. I pretty much love any good/bad B movie, creature feature, or anything with Nicholas Cage. They all make me giggle!
Some of my crafty hobbies include embroidering, doodling, and blogging. I also love making random things, such as rhinestone encrusted flamingos and pine cone spiders. There are way too many project ideas floating around in my head but not nearly enough time to do them all. It’s so frustrating!
But enough about me! I’ll be back again on Wednesday with some more awesomeness to share with you all.
