Cubee Craft

My language arts teacher recently told of this awesome website called CubeeCraft.com. You pick a character from the archive, print it, cut and fold it, and slap it together. All without glue. Pretty awesome.I have made 3 this weekend (the third isn't pictured), and Emily has made one (oscar the grouch). Overall, it is a pretty awesome site.

Collapsible Cardboard Chair

View Full Album

I saw a video on YouTube.com of this collapsible chair. After a few minutes I had figured out how they did it. I cut up a large box and soon I had my very own chair. After an afternoon sitting in it I came up with an idea for a collapsible cup holder to boot. One of the pictures shows it all unfolded. It all slides neatly under my bed.

The Soda Hat and Lego Jack-O-lantern

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I have been very busy. Anyway, we traveled to the Rockville today and I picked up a brand new hard hat. So I made a soda drinking hat out of it. The holders are removable, so I can use it as a hard hat as well. Multipurpose is always great.

 

Also, check out my Lego minifigure jack-o-lantern at this site.

Oh the things that show up on our porch…

This little frog seems to have it figured out that flies like our screen/glass door because light comes through. He has been back for the past couple of nights too. Oh, and that is a fly hanging out of his mouth.

Stop Motion Video

This is my first attempt at making a stop motion video. In it I make an origami gnasher.

Your Very Own Personal Hovercraft!

I saw the hovercrafts Jamie and Adam made on Mythbusters, and decided that that would be one of the coolest things I would make so far. So we went to Rockville (the local junk shop) and found a 4X8 piece of wooden panneling for $3. I had everything else. So this entire hovercraft project cost me only $3. The other parts are kind of thick plastic sheets, a leaf blower, staples, a random bolt or two, and lots of duct tape. It works pretty darn well. You can see the videos here.
