Papercut Memento
Design Sponge does it again with a sweet DIY project to capture a papercut memento of something you love. Like a watertower to represent your favorite city or the silhouette of a puppy that you just adore.

DIY Tumbling Block Art
The Glamourai is all about high-end beauty, and that lush look is present in her innovative project DIY Tumbling Block wall art.
Tapigami, 3D Sculptures Made Entirely of Tape
Tapigami came to Maker Faire Bay Area last year with a gorgeous fantasy cityscape installation, made entirely of tape! (The wall behind it was wire coat hangers covered in fabric.) The Sacramento artist behind Tapigami, Danny Scheible, and his crew were also on-site (along with rolls and rolls of tape) to show Faire-goers how to make their own Tapigami sculptures. It was a huge hit. Buy your tickets for Maker Faire Bay Area 2013 today to get our special Early Bird discount prices!
Geometric Laptop Case
Fabric Paper Glue posted a sweet modern geometric laptop case to keep your computer safe AND fabulous. Bonus: This is a project that you could use those little fabric scraps for. I never know what to do with those.
Downton Design T-Shirts
If, like me, you downright REFUSE to leave the world of Downton behind, then you will love animator Daisy Edward’s t-shirt designs on Red Bubble. Daisy creates the illustration herself and then through Red Bubble, they become t-shirts for us to wear dreaming of Downton. She also has a hilarious New Girl tee, but my heart belongs with the Granthams and Crawleys.
DIY Leather Knot Bracelet
I LOVE this high-fashion-inspired DIY by Whimseybox and am now seriously coveting this chunky gold leather bow bracelet. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled in the thrift stores to see if I can find some gold leather to repurpose for this one!
Anatomical Heart Valentine
Threadbanger’s Rob + Corinne show us a sweet anatomical heart card to make for Valentine’s Day. I want to make one of these for the one who makes MY heart pitter patter. But since Matthew Crawley lives outside London circa 1920, maybe I’ll make one for my husband instead.
