Accio Freezer Paper! Harry Potter Craft

Harry Potter freezer paper stencil tshirt by Kacey Kendrick Wagner

I love surfing about the interwebs and happening upon geeky crafts. I feel an immediate kinship with the person – here’s someone who’s both crafty AND geeky, like me! And when – BONUS! – they include a step-by-step tutorial, I do a little happy dance. Kacey at Stay at Home Artist provided just such an example with her Harry Potter Freezer Paper Stencil t-shirt tutorial.

With her step-outs, even if you aren’t crazy-graphically-gifted like Kacey (that script text! that stag!), you can still pump out a cool t-shirt that pays homage to whatever fandom trips your trigger. What fandom would you choose and what would you stencil? Have you tried freezer paper stenciling? What were your results? So many questions!

DIY Live Long & Prosper Star Trek hoodie

DIY Live Long & Prosper Hoodie

In honor of the recent release of Star Trek: Into Darkness, I thought it fitting to share a Star Trek craft: a do-it-yourself Live Long & Prosper (LLAP) hoodie. My husband got a commercial version of this as a gift, so I thought it was clever that someone came up with their own DIY version.

Since it’s posted on Instructables.com, it includes a full tutorial of how to make it yourself. It involves making a stencil from a thin piece of wood, which I thought was interesting. I wonder if you couldn’t just use butcher/freezer paper?

So have you seen the new Trek movie? We went to the midnight viewing and loved it. Great story, action, and special effects. We’ll definitely be adding it to our Blu-Ray collection. What did you think?

Starbug Tshirt

Hi there folks!

Hope you have all had a good new year and sticking to those new year resolutions.

Today I have this amazing stenciled tshirt featuring Starbug from Red Dwarf.

This creative piece as made by EllieJay from Craftster.

She also shows a great cyclist design done the the same splatter style which is very effective. I would love to try this out myself.

    Freezer Paper TARDIS Hoodie

    Hello Geeks!

    Today I would like to show you this amazing TARDIS hoodie from Samantha_McKay on Crafster.

    She ordered her brother a sonic screwdriver set for Christmas and decided that he needed something to go with it; she looked up some designs on the internet but none were quite right.

    So she sketched her own design and made a stencil out of Freezer Paper and applied it to a plain hoodie (Blue of course).

    Tutorial Tuesday! Reverse Stencilled Tote Bag

    Here’s a neat idea! lets think ‘outside the stencil’.

    That’s exactly what jennieingram did when she had to quickly step into the Dr Who Swap on Craftster. Round 5 of the Dr Who swap that is… these swaps are hugely popular, they’re going to go on forever! Round 6 is crafting away as I type!

    Jennie has shared a tutorial on how to achieve this effective technique on her blog, and also on Craftster.

    But wait, there’s more! Turns out Jennie is quite an avid Geek-Crafter and tutorial writer. Check out her Doctor’s Companion Charm Bracelet and her tutorial on how to make Laminated Paper Bookmarks including a sonic screwdriver and a golden snitch.
