Craft & Design
From traditional crafts to modern crafts, we’re covering news and interesting projects to educate you and keep you inspired. Design trends and pop culture related projects are here to inspire.
DIY Cactus Cupcakes
Create realistic and cute little cactus and succulent cupcakes for your next shindig! Baker and DIY maker Alana Jones-Mann shows you how in this helpful tutorial.
Fantastic Cthulhu Mask
Quirky Montreal artist and fabricator Ian Langohr’s latest creation is this fantastic Cthulhu mask. Fun fact: Ian finds inspiration in (not surprisingly) horror and fantasy novels and films. But he also enjoys checking out abandoned Montreal factories and watching nature documentaries, like Planet Earth.
Inspiration: Laser-Cut Leather
Leather lends itself to the intricate design possibilities of a laser cutter, because it is pliable enough to wear on the body, but sturdy enough to hold its shape, even with large cutouts. I’ve collected a few of my favorite examples of laser-cut leather here, to serve as inspiration.
Tardigrade (Little Water Bear) Amigurumi
Tardigrades are tough little creatures. The tardigrade was originally named “kleiner wasserbär,” which means “little water bear” in German. They are tiny (~ 1 millimeter long), eight-legged animals that live in the water and can survive extreme heat, cold, and — get this — they can go without food or water for nearly 120 years! Pay tribute to the mighty tardigrade by crocheting an amigurumi tardigrade.
Draft-Dodging Hyena
MAKE’s photo editor, Gregory Hayes, made this fantastic draft-dodging hyena out of a pair of his destroyed work jeans, to keep the draft from creeping in under the door of his friend Lex’s new house.
Egg Carton Rainbow Hats
With all the egg projects out in the blogosphere right now, Katey of Having Fun at Home wanted to find something cool to do with the egg cartons. I say she succeeded. These egg carton rainbow hats (or really, they look a bit like wreaths) are fun and adorable.
