DIY Dinosaur Bag
There are a bunch of fun DIY dinosaur projects going around these days and this one by Studs and Buttonholes really takes the cake.
Wearables
The world of wearables is becoming an increasingly popular way for makers to express their creativity. From custom watches and connected jewelry to full-body suits that allow you to interact with your environment, the possibilities are endless. Learning about wearable electronics can be a bit daunting for those who are just starting out – but it doesn’t have to be! Whether you’re looking for guidance on where to get started with Arduino programming or inspiration from some of the projects out there, this blog category has got you covered. Here we will provide tutorials and resources on creating interactive wearables as well as a look at the work of some inspiring makers that should give you the motivation to dive right in!

DIY Geometric Beads
Mini Eco kills it in the modern geometric game and these sweet faceted gem beads are no exception. I want to make a million of these and wear them in every color.
How To Make a Modern Dip-Dyed Leash
Capreek over on Curbly is my aesthetic spirit animal and her latest DIY is no exception. I am loving her modern dip-dyed dog leashes that are begging to be attached to my mutts. I am not too proud to make a matching necklace for myself btws. Maybe I should be, but I’m just not.
Neuro Knitting
Artist duo Varvara Guljajeva and Mar Canet collaborated with MTG researcher Sebastian Mealla to produce custom scarves featuring brainwave activity recorded with a non-invasive EEG headset. Brain activity such as relaxation, excitement, and cognitive load were measured while listening to Bach’s “Goldberg Variations” and the data was converted into knitting patterns with Knitic, their open-source knitting machine.
How-To: TRON Bow
Becky and Phil’s ongoing quest to TRON-ify the universe, begun back in the summer of 2010 in anticipation of the not-so-much-worth-all-the-anticipation-after-all TRON sequel, continues undeterred by disappointing directorial choices, secure in the knowledge that pretty much anything, jazzed up with EL wire, is awesome.
How-To: Color-Matching Chameleon Scarf
Another cool wearables project from Adafruit Director of Wearable Electronics and MAKE alum Becky Stern. In this design, Becky is showing off the capabilities of Adafruit’s FLORA wearable color sensor. She’s sewn it into a circuit with a FLORA microcontroller and 12 FLORA RGB LEDs, on a ruffled scarf designed to diffuse the light and give a softer effect.
