Craftster user shedko247 not only crocheted this awesome Pokemon amigurumi Charizard the dragon, but she posted instructions on her blog, AH! Creations. She’s got more geeky crochet patterns there too, so be sure to check it out.
Geeky soap is a great way to add some variety to everyday cleaning routines. DeviantArt User fuzzykittn posted these glycerine soap pokeballs. Just like starter pokemon, these soaps are available in three different types (scents, in this case). I choose you, Coconut! Check out Lime Tree Candles and Soaps for more selections, including Pacman soap!
Hello everyone! I’m Leitadala, one of your new geek craft writers. I’ve finally finished making my Christmas crafts, and before the January ones come due I figured I’d introduce myself here. I’m a varied crafter, but my strongest are fiber arts. The crocheting comes by nature, the knitting by nurture. What I mean by that is that my Step-Grandmothter taught me to knit when I was young, and when I was older I felt compelled to pick up the crochet hook. I found I loved it, and then learned from my maternal Grandmother that her Grandmother used to crochet all the time! I’ve since passed down both crafts to the next generation of girls in my family, hoping that they will keep this timeless tradition alive.
I come by the geek part honestly as well. I love Star Wars, World of Warcraft (where I met my husband), Pokemon, Disney, Anime, Renissance Festivals, and (of course) Comic Cons. I look forward to sharing with you lots of geek-crafty things in the future.
Until then, I better go wrap my Christmas African Flower dishcloths!
Here are 13 excellent examples of baked geekiness…tasty, too! I need a snack now.
edalytical’s girlfriend Jess made him this funny cake. Roses are #FF0000, indeed.
Perler beads are perfect for recreating 8-bit video game characters and scenes. They can be used for all kinds of amazing geeky crafts and are so easy to use, anyone can do it. Below you will find 10 incredible examples of the things you can do with Perler beads.
Danny_8bit makes some elaborate Perler bead art. This little scene from Super Mario Brothers is attached to a briefcase.
The Float Eye Boss from Final Fantasy has great shading. Faith9990 really got the details in on this one. Is it just me or does this guy look like an evil version of Mike from Monsters, Inc.?
I know my eight-year-old could tell me who all these little guys are. For now, I’ll take Fashion’s word that they are Pokemon and they are an impressive collection.
Here at Geek Crafts, we seem to always end up back on Star Wars. Flickr user Copy + Waste made this huge R2D2 from Perler beads.
I’m not a big Star Trek fan, but this is the second Star Trek craft that I really like (the other was the Spock apron). blakewest did a great job capturing the look of the original illustration.
Here’s another one from Danny_8bit: a very elaborate Donkey Kong/Burgertime combo scene – not sure why the two games are mixed, but it still looks great!
Wow – what an incredible likeness of the evil Sinistar himself. Awesome job done by CoderKev. “Run, coward!”
Faith9990 does it again with these little Space Invaders keychains. They aren’t attached yet, but if you look closely, you can see that a bead is purposely missing from each one to attach the keyring to.
I love the dimensional Perler bead crafts. Doctor Octoroc used what looks to be three layers of beads to make this Gameboy Color 3D.
And one more by Doctor Octoroc: Samus Aran vs. Omega Metroid. I think this is the most detailed Perler Bead art I have seen. Details + shading + size = pure awesomeness. (I don’t think that’s a direct quote there from Samus)
