Be honest, every single one of you would rock this handbag . I know I would, and I don’t give a dang if it clashes with my live bear chaps or not (all man, baby). Available from evilmadscientist as mini and full-size kits ($20 and $25, respectively) you’re still gonna have to know how to sew. Which I, unfortunately, do not. Last time I tried mending a tear in my jeans I ended up sewing my penis to my ankle. True story. Hit the jump for some shots of the unfinished kit so you can get a real sense of all the fun to be had.

Craft Time!: Make Your Own D-20 Handbag

Geekologie Reader Ike, the same one who successfully played poker on a roller coaster, went and made himself a lightsaber . Although, truthfully, it was modeled after Travis Touchdown’s beam katana from No More Heroes . Ike made me promise not to tell you how he made it, but suffice it to say there were lasers and smoke and selling your soul to a sorcerer involved. Here’s a real fun tidbit- with enough money (I think about $600) I could make this sucker burn. That’s right! Fully functional lightsaber! It also extends and spins. Woot. Nice, Ike, I want one. Except mine MUST be of the burning variety. How else am I gonna start a fire while camping — rubbing two sticks together? Pfft, what do I look like, a cub-scout? I AM ALL MAN-SCOUT! Don’t believe me? I’ve humped bears before . Haha, admit it, Yogi. Hit the jump for a couple videos of the saber/katana in action, including one with some Travis Touchdown cosplay.
