decor.  Last year we went huge with the guillotine project . 
This year . . . a bit smaller.  My daughter came to me with an idea

I built this for the Stage Play An Evening of Steampunk and Robot
Theatre . This is a test video I shot with some amusing bumpers. The
robot is constructed from Buckets, trash cans and various bits of
recycling I had around the house.

Make: Projects - Shrink-film gaming minis

shrink film minis

Sean Ragan has done a lot of cool projects for us here on Make: Online. One of my faves is his shrink-film gaming minis tutorial. And even better, in it, he makes gaming pieces for one of my all-time favorite Steve Jackson Games’ classic sci-fi wargames: OGRE!

We’re slowly, but surely, moving all of the projects we’ve posted here online (and many from the magazine) into our Make: Projects platform. There, they can grow and change as you do the project and update the (wiki-based) project articles. Did you build shrink-film minis based on Sean’s original post? If so, what did you learn in the process that you might share with other makers? Got any pictures of your minis? Add them to the piece. It’s easy!

Last weekend we had a Halloween pin-making party at Goods Detroit. I think this was my favorite - hard felt cut into a ghost shape with googley eyes, sequins, and lots of zeroes - created by an awesome 4-year-old crafter.

costume is good for groups… of up to 52! Grid pattern on cards Print
a grid pattern on a photo of the cards you will use.  Since the

Compost sites in Western Queens

Posted by Blogsnapper at 06:10 am

This past weekend I went on a group bike tour of five compost sites in Western Queens, NY, in the neighborhoods of Astoria, Long Island City and Sunnyside. The sites were as diverse as the borough’s residents, ranging from barrels in community gardens to a one-acre rooftop farm. And the compost was as stinky and steamy as you would expect it to be!

More Recycled Wrapping Artistry

Posted by Blogsnapper at 06:10 am

Halloween is just around the corner and the next thing you know, it’s gift giving season again. Here for some recycled wrapping inspiration is John Boak who has some new wraps up on his site Wrap Artist. I love the layered beauty of his Japanese inspired wedding gift wrap and the ingenious use of using two aerosol lids in his aerosol lid wrap above.

Want to hand out treats for Halloween, but too lazy to do it yourself prefer to hide in the bushes and scare kids as they come up? Then you might want to check out the Automatic Halloween Candy Dispenser® by Noel Portugal. Triggered by TextforTreat®, CallforTreat® and @TweetforTreat® technologies, lucky visitors can use any number modern technologies to release some sweets, or they can just press a big red button.

He has a nice write-up about the project on his blog, and promises video after Sunday.
