Want to cut your own Star Wars snowflakes to hang from the ceiling for Christmas? Of course you do, you are INTO this. Thankfully, Anthony Herrera has you covered, with printable patterns to make all the designs above (but come on, nobody’s gonna make C-3PO). I actually have a collection of paper snowflakes I’ve made over the past couple years and I hang them up every December. “You’re a f***in’ dork!” I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that. I made even more this year, but I haven’t put them all up yet. If you’re lucky I might even post a picture of them on Geekologie’s Facebook page next week. If you’re unlucky I might back over you with my truck trying to parallel park without looking. Hit the jump for some closer-ups and a link to the pattern page.

How To: Cut Your Own Star Wars Paper Snowflakes

Is that a flamethrower in your pocket or is your penis on fire for no reason? This is a flamethrower in the form of a handgun. So it’s small . There’s a video of the thing failing to melt snow off the top of a grill (try the propane tank!) after the jump, as well as a link to an Instructable so you can make your own. Just don’t tell your mom because you know she wouldn’t approve . Impressive, but I made something similar in middle school out of a can of hairspray and lighter and set my bathroom wallpaper on fire. I’m actually only posting this because I know there’s that ONE person out there that thinks this is the coolest thing since fridges with ice makers. Really hoping that person is you. Hit the jump for the mini-flamer in action.

Safety Last: A Do-It-Yourself Flamethrowing Pistol

Ever wanted to turn a couple cheap box (aka “crack”) lighters into a little motorcycle? Me neither. But I have wanted to light the weeds with them before — and been successful! But if you are one of those DIY’ers with way too much time (and not penises) on your hands, there are a couple tutorials after the jump of how to put one together. Alternatively, just smash them on the ground and listen to them pop! Or — OR — I dunno, meth or something. Shit, get creative! Hit the jump for picture AND video tutorials if you want to pretend like you’re actually gonna make your own before realizing it’s far too complicated and going back to World of Warcraft .

I know what you’re thinking, but no, that’s not a Juggalo. It’s a homemade Rorschach mask that actually changes designs when worn. How does it work? Thermochromic paint. I don’t even know what that is but now I want my whole bedroom painted with it! Using Thermochromic paint pigment and clear screen printing base, you can now make an ink blot mask that changes like the character Rorschach from the movie the watchmen. As you breath in and out, the color of the mask changes from black to white wherever the wearer’s breath hits it and warms it to a point above 86 degrees F. The video tutorial is after the jump, along with a couple other videos I found on Youtube of people who’ve made similar masks. Admittedly, they’re pretty awesome. I’m probably gonna make one and use it to rob a bank. “I dunno, it was a guy with a sock over his head — looked like there might have been a winged devil painted on it. Which — does that mean I have daddy issues? ” Hit the jump for the videos.

Send a ball , that’s how. Or nothing. Honestly, I’d prefer nothing. At least you won’t piss my mailman off (he already f***s up all my packages). Send a Ball, the online store that lets you create personalized inflatable balls for any occasion, made its ABC Shark Tank debut tonight. Here’s how the business started: “One day I [co-founder Michele) was in Osco, saw a BIN of bouncy balls, grabbed one and thought “I can mail this”. Took a sharpie, addressed it to my BFF Sharon, wrote “Have BALL with your new baby”, went to the post office and mailed it.” Balls start at $20 and include shipment to anywhere in the US. Which, for a $1 ball and $1 worth of postage, is a 1,000% markup. Which I think we can all agree, is the American way. Also: fat with a false sense of entitlement.
