I can’t say whether or not this Proton Pack will actually trap ghosts, but from this brief glimpse, there is one thing I can say for certain: this badass project is sure to score the top prize at Halloween costume contests, and isn’t that worth more than a ghost in a box?

The entire costume–you…

How can you liven up the traditional wedding? True quirkiness goes beyond interesting dresses and video game cakes, as one California couple proved with their 8-bit DIY wedding theme. Forget a regular ol’ bouquet. Let’s get pixelated.

When a graphic designer and a video game programmer get married, this is what happens: a profusion of…

There are fancy toilets and then something beyond that, something reserved for the truly epic, the gold-plated, the toilets that come equipped with a cupholder… toilets like this one. Or urinals, rather. Or, uh, devices in the water closet. Whatever, it’s a steampunk urinal. Gaze upon it in awe (or abject confusion).

Treat, or do not treat. There is no trick. At least, that’s what I’m imaging this child is being taught to say for Halloween. The regular ol’ “trick or treat” just doesn’t seem like it would quite measure up to this incredible Yoda costume.

Actually, for seasoned crafters, this little Yoda costume doesn’t seem too…

I don’t know about you, but when I’m waking up from a nightmare, I want to be able to clutch my blanket in comfort, not in added terror. Apparently, though, not everyone is like this, or this Silent Hill-themed blanket would not exist.

Seriously, Pyramid Head is just about the scariest character in all of…

Some babies are just hipper than others. You can tell by their expensive t-shirts and awesome accessories. It’s not any baby who can rock a cushy Cthulhu play blanket, you know?

Craftster FicklePegasus has turned an office joke into a handmade gift fit for only the coolest of babies: a soft and cuddly Cthulhu, complete…

Arcade cabinets are just cool–there’s no way around that. However, when they’re built completely from the ground up, in a whole nifty steampunk motif, complete with a little touch of Frankenstein? Then they even make that ol’ Pac-Gentleman look… okay, that’s still pretty incredible, too.

It plays games! It plays music! It’s equipped with Edison…

Maybe I haven’t been looking in the right places, but I haven’t noticed an overwhelming amount of crafts inspired by the tragically short-lived Firefly and the accompanying movie, Serenity. Even if I had, however, this little knit rendition of the ship would probably trump most of them.

What’s as bright as a plasma grenade stuck to your face? This Halo casemod, that’s what.

This spiffy custom model puts the official Halo Xbox 360 to shame. Not only does it glow (always a plus), but that’s one of the armor emblems from the game. I can’t tell from his signature on the Ben Heck forums,…

The Wind Waker was a somewhat controversial entry in The Legend of Zelda series due to the childlike cel-shaded graphics, which many fans felt didn’t suit the franchise. No one could possibly object to Wind Waker Link on this quilt, though. And the best part? No sailing.

Okay, so this isn’t actually a quilt. Instead, it’s a quilted…

Ah, game cartridges. They can bring so much joy… and take up so much space. And sure, you could save ‘em forever, clearing space to keep all those boxes and carts… or you could brutally gut them and turn them into something else. A clock, say.

Can’tAffordEmCrafts, an Etsy storefront, has several of those former-Atari-cartridges…

Here’s a new and different idea for a DIY iPod case: use pages of old comics. A little masking tape, a few pages of killer images, and the ability to cut a straight line with scissors is all it took to assemble this chic custom case.

The blue-tinted case, shown above, was the first, made…
