Made using an inkjet printer, sticker labels and a 1/4? foam board, the Mario Riding Yoshi wall hanging design wants to lick you to death, sort of like a sex-addicted prison-escapee, but now with more reptilian spice.
Watch the mustache, I heard it can leave some rug burn.
Hidden with the now iconic Shakespearean bust, this awesome modder who goes by the mysterious name “Jimmy” set up his very own Wayne Manor Batcave-inspired hidden entrance. Using a motor attached to a gearbox, which directly powers a wheel, Jimmy couldn’t use a full-sized bookshelf because of the sheer size, but opted for a door covered in faux-library wallpaper.
Press the button hidden within the bust and voila, go-go Batdoor. Works for me.
Star Wars fan and tangled wire advocate Brian De Vitis managed to have one of the greatest brainstorm ideas ever. Why not take every console I own (all eight of them) and stuff them all into that R2-D2 replica I’ve had sitting around the house.
Well, EVERYONE has the supplies needed for this project. No excuses. Grab your droid and get going. Well? Go on!
Using nothing more than two years, $4,385, and some good ole hard word and ingenuity, China native Tao Xiangli created his DIY Submarine. We like to keep up to date with people and objects we’ve written about in the past so it’s our honor to let you know that the DIY Sub made its water debut on September 3.
Made from discarded oil barrels, the sub includes a periscope, depth control tanks and electric motors. Despite the small budget, he seems to get around pretty easily.
Sure, “Talk Like a Pirate Day” might be exciting, but there’s no free candy for slurring your words like a drunken sea hobo. Halloween is now officially less than two months away, which means its time to start playing around with a few costume ideas.
If you’ve been dying to dress up in something super geeky this year, you can make your own Rubik’s Cube Costume if you don’t mind sweating a little for your day of dress up. Instructables has an easy five step (four step if you’re not entering a costume contest) DIY project to create your very own. All you’ll need is two cardboard boxes, some tape and zero dignity.
Create for cheap you will! This awesome Yoda beanie was made for just about a buck. No, not a male deer, a dollar. Even though that would be sort of a neat bartering system. “How many deer for this new TV?”
Using a $1 fleece blanket and a bunch of various crap you probably have on hand anyway, you can make your very own Yoda Hat on the cheap. Scared? You will be.
A generous Instructible user laid out the step-by-step process of building your own custom Nintendo bartop cabinet. Warning: Two cases of Diet Coke are required for completion.
This cabinet supplies you with your very own personal NES arcade console, compact into one arcade-ish interface.
An ingenious DIYer noticed that the second generation iPod Shuffle and the Apple Remote have a similar shape. So similar that the two devices could be merged together with some crafty electronic finagling.
When headphones are connected to the Shuffle / Remote mash-up device, the gadget works as the music player. Without headphones, the device carries the features of an Apple Remote. You won’t be saving too much room by eliminating one or the other, but you will have one less toy to worry about losing. That damn Apple Remote has a way of disappearing.
Geeking it up DIY-style is all about using everything you have at your disposal to create something totally awesome. This iPhone 3GS Box Dock totally lives up to that principal.
Using the actual box that the phone came in, all this DIY requires is a steady hand with a pair of scissors and a liberal application of glue. Apply the included charging and docking materials to a cut-out in the box and voila… instant dock.
Some lucky mother and baby is about to get the coolest damn baby shower gift of all-time. This hand-knit Legend of Zelda-themed Link baby outfit, complete with baby bottle quiver, is an amazing example of what an expert needle worker can do.
This is exactly why I’m learning how to crochet, despite the incessant bullying. I’m about to kidnap some knitting granny, lock her up in a crate, and force her to make me an adult-sized version. She’ll get some cottage cheese and apple sauce if she’s lucky.
