Mario Mushroom Stencil Art How-To
Crafter extraordinaire Vickie Howell recently made this Game Boy stencil art piece for her son, who loves to play video games. She used a stencil from Ed Roth’s Stencil 101 Decor collection and freehanded the Mario image over it — she shares a complete tutorial for making your own version.
This isn’t Vickie’s first Mario-inspired craft project — check out her pattern and tutorial for knitting up a pair of Mario Mushroom Wrist Warmers as well!

Ghostbusters Costumes
Who ya gonna call? I’m calling off_the_record next time I need a good costume idea. She posted these home-made Ghostbusters Costumes on craftster, with a short tutorial on making your own proton pack! I especially love the take on the “lady Ghostbuster” costume.

Monster Boots
Furbabiesboutique posted this hilariously awesome Monster Boots on craftster with a short tutorial. I don’t know what to say about them other than “adorable” and “they make me giggle”. These super angry kicks are just perfect for a Halloween gogo dance party.

Monster Wreaths
Craftster user h0p31355 made these super fun monster wreaths from a tutorial posted way back in 2005 by callakat. They remind me of Gossamer from Looney Toons.

Jabba the Hutt Costume in Action
Star Wars blogger and book author extraordinaire Bonnie Burton recently had a chance to try out the new inflatable Jabba the Hutt costume when it arrived in the Star Wars Shop! She wrote about her field trip around the LucasFilm campus and the closest Starbucks, and even tried out some dance moves inside the giant suit (there’s a video to prove it!).

Bonnie says:
The cool thing about this costume is that it literally keeps you cool while you wear it thanks to an internal, battery-operated fan inside that inflates it so you actually look like the Hutt himself. The head of Jabba isn’t attached to the body of the costume, which makes it a fun thing to wear just on its own.
You can find the costume here, read about her adventures here, and see tons more photos here. Don’t miss Bonnie’s fantastic Star Wars Kids Crafts archive, either — she offers tons of project tutorials to try, including this super cute Yoda doll. After seeing her demo at Maker Faire, my nephew and I made one together — one of my favorite craft projects ever!
