Up and atom!
Yarn Player on Etsy has these super geeky and beautiful atom pendants.
She makes these with the old tatting technique and makes them look bright and fun!
If you want to learn how to tatt, she also sells books!
Craftster is such a great place to find nerdy crafts. Back in 2008 they had a Science IS Art swap that had amazing gallery–which included the greatest scarf of all time: the DNA Scarf. Superhooker made it for her partner (along with other great stuff) and it quickly became a popular topic. Last year I was the lucky recipient of one, and I love it! The pattern is here, so you can have your own!
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!

Craftster user rangerbeth made some great science nerd bibs as a gift for a professor, including this hilarious one with Poop spelled out with elements. Click through to see the rest.
Honestly, there is no craft I have wanted to do at home more than this Time Machine posted by gmjhowe on Instructables. That is saying a lot since I love almost everything I come across on that site, but gmjhowe really put thought, time and coolness into this hand held “Vortex Distortion Space and Time Dilating Device”. Made from various materials including cardboard and “a lot of scrap and junk” he created the perfect, timeless, hand held Time Machine. Now, it’s not as roomy as the Tardis or as flashy as Bill & Ted‘s phonebooth, but it’ll get you where you need to go and you’ll look good when you get there.
