How-To: Geek Bike Helmet

By Jessica Wilson I was a big fan of Pee-Wee's Playhouse back in the 80s. I was pretty sad he rode a scooter at the end of the show instead of his bike but I did adore his helmet. It was a wacky display of all things Pee-Wee and I itched to have one of my own. Flash forward some twenty odd years or so and I found myself with a new pair of roller skates. The mister insisted I wear a helmet and I told him I would if he fancied it up a bit. My bike helmet has wings but anyone can geek out their helmet with a little paint, glue and an odd assortment of Pee-Wee inspired toys. This is a fun project for all bike helmets, new and old though if your old helmet is truly a mess with cracks from beyond, you best invest in a new dealio to keep your noggin safe. One of the helmets used in this tutorial is cracked beyond repair but we wanted to show you two different ways of geeking out your helmet. So, if you choose to get wacky with it all, make sure your helmet is new and free of cracks! Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Geek Crafts | Digg this!

How-To: Make Earrings from Electrical Parts

I love to go to the electronics store. The one in my neighborhood is called HSC, and it's a warehouse of random parts and pieces. They have entire aisles dedicated just to switches, another just for attachments, and an entire room of wire. I have been known to wander the store for an hour, just looking at all the wire.

It doesn't require any complicated steps or parts. I just let the wire and the alligator clips inspire me into making these fun geek chic earrings. And, if you wanted to, you could attach just about anything to the alligator clips, making them very versatile additions to any jewelry collection.
