We’re in the final countdown to Christmas, my fellow geeks! My gifts are wrapped, my decorations are up, and (most of) the messy aftermath of wrapping and decorating has been stowed away. I know everyone is super busy this time of year, but I’m sure you can spare a few minutes to make these two adorable papercraft Krampuses! (Kramps? Krampi?) If you haven’t yet been introduced to Krampus, the Christmas Devil, boy oh boy, are you missing out.
This lil’ green guy was created by Christopher Bonnette. I made him a couple years ago when I first found out about the Krampus. He even comes with an accessory: a terrified child for his basket! The other, much hairier, Krampus was created by Uncle Ghastly. I just made him a couple nights ago! So far both Krampuses are getting along famously! And I’m making sure to be on my best behaviour, of course. I don’t want to end up in their baskets!
The staple of any classic fairy tale involves knights and dragons, and usually a beautiful princess as well. Coming fresh from the Desolation of Smaug, and how all I really want for Christmas is a Night Fury, I’m sure you can tell that dragons are some of my favorite fairy tale creatures. While there’s no place to buy them, I’ve rounded up a few ways for you to make them!
First, for those of you who’d like an adorable stuffed toy, DIYFluffies on Etsy has a great pattern available for $9.oo. This little guy’s name is Yoki, and at 10 inches tall, he is a great gift for any little geek or princess. You can sew him with fleece, felt, and some glass eyes.
Next, for all you crocheters out there, Sarselgurumi has a great tutorial for creating an amigurumi Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. Made with only one skein, an F hook, some batting, and of course, lots of love, this irresistible Night Fury is sure to capture everyone’s heart.
Here’s sending you all great holiday wishes of crafting and geekiness!
My husband and kids were quick to jump on the World of Warcraft bandwagon when it was introduced in 2004. It’s hard to believe it will be 10 years next year! Due to their continued interest in the game, I immediately recognized this Ravelry Hearthstone project. With the holidays nearly upon us, perhaps you could use a hearthstone to return you to those you hold nearest and dearest?
Fitting in the palm of your hand, this cute amigurumi project would make a great stocking stuffer.

Hemi*Housewife from Crafster recently posted a project she had from Halloween. She took a well loved Little Tykes car and repainted it to go along with her two year old son’s Eddie Munster costume.
Hemi washed the car as best she could (hit the link above to see the “before” picture…Eddie’s ride was looking pretty rough), and spray painted it with Krylon Fusion. For the details, she hot glued leopard print polar fleece, wine velvet and gold tassel fringe, put rouched silver chiffon in the back window (going for that hearse chic kind of look), and finished the remaining raw edges of the fleece with a black rayon gimp braid. The only thing Hemi said she didn’t do to the car was to prime it before painting.
