Shopping Cart Chair

It might not be comfortable or all that functional, but this shopping cart chair is just undeniably cool. It can even work as a wheelchair if necessary. Instructables can tell you how to make one of your very own.

Knitted Hats For Babies

Etsy user Tiny Tangerine, aka Kelly Burghardt, knits these adorable baby hats. My favorite is the cow hat. Craftzine has a great interview with her or you can just click on the link and look at her great gallery of work.

Jessy Ratfink shows us how to make an adorable "Where the Wild Things Are" hat (With whiskers and pointy ears.).

Let the wild rumpus start!

Plush Cell Model
What better way to get kids interested in biology at an early age than to make them their very own plush cell? Instructables has all the info you need to make your very own cuddly block of life.
Periodic Table Sweater
All you science-lovers on Neatorama should appreciate this great sweater featuring the Periodic Table of Elements. The sleeves feature fungi and bacteria names. The creator made it for her husband, a microbiologist working in the pharmaceutical industry.

Toilet Paper Tube Faces
Artist Junior Fritz Jacquet crumples and folds toilet paper rolls until they make faces displaying anguish, happiness, disgust and more. Once they’re folded right, he adds just a bit of color to help bring out their color and then they’re ready to go.
Simpsons Mosaic Table
This Simpsons mosaic table is made of leftover tiles and places from a Target clearance sale and leftovers at the local home improvement store by craftster user redflag. She completely freehanded the pictures, which is pretty impressive. I like how suspicious Moe and Mr. Burns look.
Graffiti Needlework
This great needlepoint work was created by Tennessee artist, Jacquelyn Royal. If you like her work, there’s more on the site, but I don’t think any of them look nearly as real as this one.
What To Do With Capri Sun Packaging
If you’re a complete Capri Sun fiend and just hate wasting all those left over packets, this jacket design might be just what you needed. It only takes 140 pouches.
Geek Rug Mimics Circuit Board
This latch hook rug was obviously made by a computer nerd. On the page is an image of the circuit board it is based on -it’s amazingly well-replicated.

Felted Jabba The Hut
Never before has Jabba looked so sensitive with his deep brown eyes and sweet little stuffed bunny. He’s part of the Star Wars Exhibit previously mentioned on Neatorama.
Plush Star Wars Tauntaun
This masterpeice was entered in the upcoming Stitch Wars exhibit at the Bear and Bird Boutique + Gallery in Florida. The little blue Luke Skywalker is zipped inside for a super Star Wars surprise.
Rubber & Cardboard Cuckoo Clock
These cuckoo clocks by artist Nathan Skiles are created with cardboard and rubber. They may be a good option for people with walls too weak to hold up heavy wooden & metal cuckoo clocks.
Handmade Coraline Doll

I figured it was only a matter of time before little Coralines started popping up on the craft sites. Craftster purplekappa made this one for her daughter, and I must say, it’s pretty perfect. She even comes with Wybie’s cat and her very own button key.
Electronic Embroidery Kit
How cool is it to have a light up needlework project sold complete with the lights, wiring and battery to make it work? Way too cool, that’s how cool.
Embroidered Knee MRI Slice
This is one of the strangest craft projects I’ve ever seen. Becky Stern says she plans to continue working on different segments of the MRI to see how her project will turn out.
Duct Tape Roses Instructable
If you like the roses above, or just forgot about Valentine’s Day until all the roses were sold out, there’s an easy to follow instruction guide for them over on Instructables right now.
Female Merit Badges
There’s something delightfully fun about these semi-retro and slightly-sexist female merit badges created by Artist Mary Yeager.
My female merit badges illustrate female “rites of passage” as well as the myriad physical manipulations women undergo to achieve cultural ideals of beauty, such as weight watching, whether or not to shave or wear makeup, etc. I’ve created tiny replicas of female products, such as a birth control pill pack and a pregnancy test. The miniature scale and meticulous, hand-embroidered surfaces convey my impressions of growing up female in our culture.
How To Crochet Master Shake
My crocheting skills are pretty minimal (as are my knitting skills, and pretty much all of my crafting skills), but I’m tempted to give Master Shake (he’s from Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force) a shot anyway. I think he would look smashing sitting on my desk at work. Great, now I’m going to have the ATHF song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Obama Crafts

Sure, you can buy plenty of Obama souvenirs, but you can make your own, too! WhipUp has indexed a wide variety of Obama craft projects found on the internet, from Obama crochet portraits to Obama knitted sweaters, even Obama dishcloths! Link -Thanks, Kathreen!

How Pantone Keeps Colors Fresh
Expo TV has a video interview with Lee Eisman, the Director of the
Pantone Color Institute. In the video, Eisman discusses how Pantone
chooses its colors and predicts color trends.
You may or may
not be surprised by the amount of research that goes into selecting new
colors and keeping existing colors fresh – factors ranging from
economic conditions, world affairs, clothing featured in the
entertainment industry, home décor trends and art trends play into the
decision making process.

DIY Atari Lamp
There are instructions to create your own, but honestly… it looks pretty hard. Maybe it’s not if you have all of the right tools, though. Difficult to make or not, dude deserves props for ingenuity.

Fan Dress Uses Recycling For Couture
I love this cute fan dress. Best of all, the fans are actually made from folded up junk mail and then sewn onto canvas. I bet you never thought all that crap you throw in the trash every day could be made so pretty.
Creepy Denture Soaps
These soaps are really cool, in a disturbing, nursing home kinda way. Apparently, they even have a nice minty scent.
Sock Monkey Goddess Sarasvati
Every year, this crafter makes a new sock monkey. I love this one, it’s the Hindu goddess of the arts, Sarasvati.
Papercraft Animation
This video is truly amazing to watch. City made of books, sounds like my idea of a good hometown.
Origami Hamburger Kit

Giving up fast food for your New Year’s Resolution? You can still have it – since it’s made out of paper, it’s much healthier for you. I probably wouldn’t recommend eating it, though. For $6, you get 16 pieces of paper that will allow you to make two burgers, fries, a soda and a tray to put it all on.
Cuddly Toys of Death

If you’re sick of all the cute, sweet plushies out there, then these great toys are for you. They’re by artist Patricia Waller who has a ton of other awesome designs as well. These specific toys belong to her “Accident” series and the “How to kill your first love” series. I love the teddy bear myself.
Stitch Your Way Across the U.S.A.

…or Europe, or the whole world, actually. But those didn’t rhyme, so I went with “U.S.A.” Next time you go on vacation, take a few of these little beauties along, and with a tiny amount of sewing, you can show your besties back at home exactly what routes you have taken. Yeah, you could do the same thing with a Sharpie, but that’s not nearly as cute.

Snail Sweater: Adorable & Cuddly
If your snails are getting too cold this winter, just get them a cute little sweater like this guy has. I can’t begin to say how strangely cute I think this is.
