How To: Make Decorative Angry Birds Easter Eggs
Wait... you didn't think it was time for those Angry Birds to fly away for good, did you? Well, either fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, it looks like they will be around for a little while longer.
A very creative crafter, Dominika Turek, apparently just can't get enoug ...
Fun Design: Fuzzy Felted Marshmallow Peeps
This is such a fun time of year. I always look forward to coloring eggs and collecting marshmallow peeps. Yep, that's right, since they pretty much taste like sugared plywood, I don't eat peeps. But they are so darn cute, so I like to collect them in all different colors and keep them in a basket in ...
How To: Build A Lego Ship In A Bottle
Did you know that it's really possible to build a Lego ship in a bottle? It is! I can tell you after watching this time-lapse video that it will take a very steady hand and a ton of patience. Julia Morley gets my Geek of the Week award for sure!
She says at the beginning of the video that this "p ...
DIY Geektastic Pac-Man Calendar (Chomp Chomp)
This little homage to everyone's favorite classic 80s video game is so precious I just want to make my own this weekend. If you weren't around in the 80s saving your quarters to play Pac-Man at the pizza joint on Friday nights like the rest of us, you could make one of these for Mario Bros. or reall ...
Inspiration: Students Transform Mailboxes Into Art Pieces
I love it when I see schools and universities go out of their way to make learning fun and interactive for their students. Sometimes this happens in ways that involve technology. For example, the University of Groningen in the Netherlands recently created the world's largest touchscreen (for very li ...
The Ultimate Secret Hiding Place In Your House
I've always thought the idea of leaving a time capsule for future generations to find would be fun. It's even fun to pack away a magazine or trinket in a box only to find it years later in the basement or attic. Wouldn't it be neat to find a tiny hidden treasure somewhere in your house that someone ...
How To: Turn Your Sneakers Into Stylin Speakers
Have you ever heard of a sneaker customizer? Me either, until today. Alex Nash, otherwise known as NashMoney, calls himself a sneaker customizer. We've written a lot of articles about sneakers; however, what Alex did is very different. We normally see artists experiment with different sneaker de ...
What Came First: A Chicken Made Of Eggshells
I know you are probably sitting there working hard today. You decided to take a little break and surf the web to find something to give you a refreshing little visual break. Well, you've come to the right place, and I have the perfect thing for you.
Before I go any further, I just have to ask, ...
How To: Make A Super Sweet Plastic Skull Doorbell
Skull art has always been popular. A quick Google search will reveal a ton of really cool art inspired by skulls; however, this is the cutest little skull design I've seen in a long time. I'd like to make one of these myself. Maybe it would scare away all the annoying people that come to my door ...
Geeky Granny Inspiration: Adorable Crocheted Androids
I love grannies. They are so cute and fun to talk to, especially when they start telling stories about when they were young. I love geeky grannies even better. Geeky grannies are usually the grammas who have Facebook accounts to keep in touch with their grandchildren, and they own iPads. Many ti ...
The Cocktail Dress Made From 14,325 Woven Rubber Bands
I love it when art and fashion collide because you know it's always going to be interesting. We've featured everything from dresses made out of food to LED lights, and every time, we are creatively inspired by the artists and their vision.
Margarita Mileva, an artist already known for the fabulo ...
Yoshi From Super Mario Recreated As Insane Mecha Toy!
When I was young, toys were a lot less technology oriented than they are now. Today it seems toys won't be called toys if they can't message people on the other side of the planet, and help you to rule the world in some odd way. What happened to the metal toy cars and the crayon books that could k ...
Drive-By Stencil Technology Makes Graffiti Art Fun & Fast
I think it's cute that the Looptaggr creators, Ariel Schlesinger and Aram Bartholl, are calling this "stencil technology" when it's really a DIY homemade "fast as hell" graffiti tagger. I haven't written an article about graffiti in a very long time because it's one of those activities that's kinda ...
Ho Ho Ho: The Ultimately Geeky Holiday Wreath!
I always have a wreath on my front door this time of year. I'm lucky because I never really had to learn how to make them. My mother loves to make fabulous wreaths, and she is kind enough to give me several of them throughout the year. It's always a challenge for her because she knows I don't lik ...
How To: Leave A Time Capsule For Future Generations
Wouldn't it be cool to leave a time capsule in your house when you move? Someday someone would find it and get a glimpse into that moment in time when you left it for them. It's kinda like finding a message in a bottle, only better. Have you ever thought about leaving a note like this for someone ...
