Who doesn’t love science and the periodic table?! I recently made a set of periodic table elements as wall art for my sister’s house, and I was wondering what other exciting periodic crafts you people have come up with! Here is an awesome roundup of everything elemental, from food to furniture!

I know a number of our American readers are unreasonably warm and toasty in some kind of freakish heatwave, but those of us in the Frigid North (and, one presumes, also in some parts of the southern hemisphere) still have over a foot of snow to deal with. So forgive me, oh sufferers of 80+ degree temperatures, for sharing this awesome thing I found! (Consider it a possibility for very early start on making a Christmas list?)
