Incredible Handmade Xbox 360 iPhone Case

xbox-case1

Seeing as custom felt cases are quickly becoming the “cool thing” to have on your iPhone, I had no choice but to post this amazing first look at the hand embroidered Xbox 360 felt iPhone case and included key chain controller.

For both the case and the key chain you’ll be shelling out $45. Subtract $10 if you don’t care for the controller key chain.

Insanely awesome Craftster user Rinnial handmade this insanely awesome Starfleet uniform (circa 2366-2372 class A uniform) for her toddler daughter to wear this Halloween.

My kid would be wearing this all year round, whether they liked it or not. I’m the parent, I know best, now shut up and let the Tribble out for a walk before it shits all over our handmade rug.

Hand-Crocheted Baby Viking Hat

viking-hat

When my kid isn’t wearing their hand-knit Legend of Zelda Link outfit, there’s no way that he/she will be wearing some conventional baby outfit. Oh, helllllll no. At the very least, it will be wearing something like this Hand-Crocheted Viking Hat, made specifically for toddler warriors.

Available in pretty much any color you desire, the baby Viking Hat will set you back $30, but that’s for a custom made piece of clothing. Adult sizes and wool material is available for a higher price. I might just get a matching hat for myself.

Hand-Knit Zelda Baby Clothes

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.

The Pirates vs. Ninjas Checkers Set embattles the two warriors from the comfort of your coffee table. Each set is handmade. Both large and small pieces are sold with the included set, the large pieces signifying “kinged” pieces.

Toys That Make No Sense: Knit Star Trek Meerkats

meertrek1

I don’t have a problem with Meerkats. They are a fine animal and an all-around interesting species. I just don’t see their place in the Star Trek universe. But, hell, why the heck not, right?

Some of you Star Trek purists might be a little turned off, but for the most part, I think these hand knit Star Trek Meerkats are charming in their own cutesy way. If you’re not down with the original series (including the Meerkat clones of Spock, Captain Kirk, Uhura, Scotty and Bones), NiftyKnits also crafts Next Generation and Voyager crew members.

Wood iPhone 3G Cases

wood_iphone_casejpg

These handmade cases for the iPhone 3G are really something. Clearly a lot of time and craftsmanship went into making each one and lucky for you, they’re up for sale on Etsy. At $85, it’s not a cheap case and don’t even think about keeping it in your pocket – it’s simply too large. This is more of a luxury case for when you’re at home or on vacation. Three to choose from, try to contain yourself.

PB&J Pillows Are Deliciously Comfortable

made-for-each-other-pillowsjpg

As a college student, I’d like to think I’m the go-to expert on all things peanut butter and jelly. It’s an inexpensive meal that is not only classic, but also delicious. That’s why you should take your leftover birthday money your ‘rents gave you and purchase these handmade PB&J pillows off Etsy. Created by user Diffractionfiber, each pillow is 16″ x 15″ and features a dab of either peanut butter or jelly. And while they won’t spice up your sex life, they’ll make for a great conversation piece for your hipster friends who just learned to knit.

Want your own sandwich? It’ll run you $55 for a set of two pillows.

Bacon and Eggs Scarf

bacon-and-eggs-scarf

Stop the presses. Just fucking stop them. It’s February, it’s cold out and bacon and eggs remain the undisputed king of breakfast. You need a scarf made from eggs and bacon if you’re going to even think about keeping your credibility around in this town. And the best part is, you’re supporting Etsy seller TheHappyCrocheter, who makes each scarf by hand once an order is placed. This ensures both quality and a unique style of craftsmanship that is hard to find nowadays. Did we mention there’s bacon involved? OK, thought so.
