This rad Star Wars garbage masher cake from Jill of Kitchen Fun With My Three Sons makes me want to yell, "3PO! 3PO! 3PO!" I especially love the red candle light saber for Darth Vader. Jill details how she made the cake, including the graham cracker walls, over on her blog. [via Retroist and @TweetRenee]

Our friend, Beefranck, over on Mr. X Stitch points us to this cool cross-stitched Pac Man street art, found in Bear In Mind's Flickr photostream. From what little digging I've been able to do, it looks like it was spotted on a street in Milan, Italy. Any chance we have some Italian readers who might be in the city and know the story behind it?

With the last Harry Potter movie looming, make a fun keepsake for the Potter-phile in your life. These wall hangings of our three heros, Harry, Hermione, and Ron (as they appear in LEGO form), will look great in any fan's room. Made out of Perler (or fuse) beads, kids can make these too, with the help of an adult.

Looking at the delicate discs that make up this pendant, I'll bet you'd never guess they were made from humble bubble wrap.
Potter Craft shares a PDF project excerpt today from Jewelry Upcycled: Techniques and Projects for Reusing Metal, Plastic, Glass, Fiber, and Found Objects. Click the link below to download your copy. You'll learn how to transform bubble wrap into this pearly material, and then how to assemble the necklace.

Jewelry Upcycled asks the question: "Before you recycle that soda bottle, scrap that old T-shirt, or toss that broken china plate, ask yourself: 'Could I use this to make something fabulous?" It's a mother-daughter effort from designer Sherri Haab and her daughter Michelle Haab, with 20 projects using materials that would otherwise be recycled or thrown away.

One of my favorite parts of Maker Faire are all the great people that stop by the Craft booth. I was pleasantly surprised when one guest stopped by to show me a Captain Mal, from Firefly, amigurumi plush (via Yarnydoom) his friend Megann Skilton made. Megann couldn't make it to Maker Faire Bay Area, so Captain Mal visited in her place. I gave him a Craft pinwheel and button to celebrate his visit.

Brett Bara's latest project over on Design*Sponge is this cute gardening apron.
This simple work apron will do the trick, keeping your gloves, seed packets and shears at your fingertips while you work in the garden. It's super easy to sew using nothing but a few simple straight seams, so even if you're just a budding seamstress, I promise you can whip this up in an afternoon.Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Gardening | Digg this!

Bonkers About Buttons shares a beautiful series of portraits on canvas by French artist Anouchka Potdevin. They pieces depict models and singers, with black buttons arranged to represent their hair - very soft and ethereal, with the texture of the buttons adding an interesting contrast.
See the series in slideshow form on the artist's website.

I've done my fair share of costume-making over the years, everything from Little Red Riding Hood to the Big Bad Wolf, Elton John to Harry Potter, R2-D2 to The Spy Who Loved His Mommy. And when I run through my repertoire, a decidedly geeky thread shines through. Geek costumes are more interesting, cooler, and just plain fun. So have you gotten your geeky duds on lately?
Here's a handy roundup of some of the geekiest costumes we've featured over the past few years.
One of our more popular posts last year was Goli's discovery of a Banksy Flower Thrower costume:
Of course, there's a plethora of Star Wars inspired costumes, for humans and pets, including:
Susan Beal's amazing Yoda costume...
Natalie Zee Drieu's Ewok costume for her little Lulu:

This is a beautiful idea for a rather hidden waste problem. From London designer Lucy Norman:
"More books are printed every year, read and discarded. Even though many are taken to charity shops, they mostly go unsold and the charities have to pay for the books to be sent to landfill. For example 10,000 books a week from one charity will go to waste. There is currently no infrastructure set up to recycle the paper from books because the paper is low grade and the glue on the spine must be removed. The Paperback Partition is made from this waste, creating an aesthetically pleasing and interesting divide in a room. It provides both good heat insulation, and acoustic insulation. Research showed that most people felt that books as objects were beautiful and they enjoyed their solidness, colour and texture, which the partition shows off"
I also love the subtle tone-on-tone mosaic created by the books all being at different stages of yellowing. See other book partition styles over at Lula Dot.
(Via Unconsumption)
