Okay, I can honestly say, I don’t exactly know how to make today’s post…but COOL!
The picture and this post are based on a Gizmodo post titled: Space Invaders Clock Made from an Old TV and Propeller Chip.
As far as I can tell, someone hooked up a gaming system to the TV and rigged it to be […]
In the comments about my Reuse CDs and Records post, William asked me what I could come up with for 35mm film canisters. Well, I tried lots of different things, but the one that turned out the best was to make covers for Christmas lights–specifically for Halloween.
The one on the left says, “BOO” for those of you (like […]
This weekend’s post will be short. The above picture and my post come from the Spluch blog and more specifically from a post on their blog titled: “Ancient Fortress” made from motherboard! posted by Eastday.
I thought this fortress was a great idea! Who knew that there was an ancient city lurking inside our computers? (Actually, that explains […]
For this one, I actually picked a tape case from my mom’s garbage can (living with the parents for a few weeks until we move–there was a housing gap). She used the carrying case that this cassette case came from as a bag and had no need for the plastic case, since she uses CDs […]
Today’s post will be another instructional post (a bonus, if you will) because the Arts and Crafts people here at b5media decided Christmas in July was a cool thing. You can see the other amazing Christmassy things on display, here!
When I think of Christmas tree ornaments, I have several pop into my mind from my […]

Here’s to the man who decided that bat guano (yes, the above picture is, indeed, bat droppings–notice the interesting similarity to mouse droppings) was more than just defecation or cave wall spackle. He certainly wasn’t the first–the Chinese beat western […]
I found an article that made me interested (again) in doing things with old paper. The post is inspired by the article, the picture came from the Fuller Craft Museum’s website: http://www.fullercraft.org/exhibitions.html
Let’s get the link out of the way, so we can talk turkey (erm, that is, paper). The article is titled: You’ll […]
This post is mostly about taking candy wrappers and performing some not-so-tricky origami on them. I know that most of the time we focus on what’s inside the wrapper (okay, I focus on the candy inside)–but if you find a particularly cool looking one–say from Japan or Mexico or somewhere exotic (like Hershey, PA?) […]
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
The website for this week deals with a couch constructed completely out of mouse pads that William sent me. As always, here’s a link to paste, if you can’t get there by clicking on the link: http://people.rit.edu/jpsdss/couch/
I know you are wondering the same thing I […]

Here’s a fun one for your kids (or maybe as a fun and playful way to resolve adult disputes–foam swords at 5 paces, anyone?)
For materials, you need an old foam noodle (a new one works too, if you have to) and a leather or leather-like material. (I used some cheap […]
