Piperoids

Hazel Chua — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 07:34:16 +0000

Robots are all the rage these days. It’s not just the boys that want them; little girls apparently love robots too, as I’ve seen lately at our family parties over the holidays where the girls tried to wrangle the toy robots from their brother’s or cousin’s arms. And I don’t mean the conventional robot, but [...]

Like I always say (to usually no one in particular), chocolate isn’t just for Valentine’s Day.

The DIY Chocolate [...]

Fill Your Own Christmas Crackers

Hazel Chua — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 03:37:28 +0000

One thing I always look forward to during Christmas is opening up the Christmas crackers. My mom taught me how to make them back when I was little, and I’m finding that I have less and less time to actually make this stuff by hand with work and all. I was definitely glad to find [...]

DIY Wooden Knife

Hazel Chua — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 07:33:27 +0000

Ukulele Kit

Hazel Chua — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:21:49 +0000

Well, be disappointed no more because you can also build your very own ukulele to play some themed beats after building it with the Ukulele Kit. Like the Saga Guitar Kit, the Ukulele Kit comes complete with everything [...]

DIY Toy “Plushform”

Hazel Chua — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 21:34:36 +0000

Plush toys are often the first toys that kids get to play with. Because of that, it also makes sense that they also happen to be one of the most popular toys as well, such as the Plush Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and the Toy Story 3 Peas-in-a-Pod Plush Toy. They’re also pretty common. So [...]

DIY Bottle Lamp Kit

James Kelly — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:00:38 +0000

For those of you still in college, congratulations; hopefully these are some of the best days of your lives. For the rest of us, we can only reminisce and dream about all those great parties, lack of responsibility and brain cells that we once had…yes, you lose brain cells as you age. Anyway, for those [...]

Papertronics DIY Lunar Landers

Hazel Chua — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:34:53 +0000

First there was electronics. And then there was papertronics. If you’re into cool do-it-yourself toys that are made from paper (meaning they’re well, more earth friendly in that sense), then you might want to check out these Papertronics DIY Lunar Landers.

DIY Wall Clock

Hazel Chua — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 02:32:14 +0000

We’ve seen a lot of wall clocks that have graced Geek Alerts, some of them great, some of them small, and some of them totally off the wall. If the Purple Motherboard Pendulum Clock or the Irrational Numbers Wall Clock don’t make you take a second look and go wow, then maybe you’d be better [...]

Grow Your Own Coffee

Hazel Chua — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:39:04 +0000

I can live without breakfast in the morning, and have tried skipping baths when my schedule just wouldn’t permit (read: when I woke up extremely late and have to be at school in ten minutes to take my finals exam.) But one thing I can’t live without is my cup of coffee. If you’re a [...]

Postcard Aeroplane

Hazel Chua — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:33:11 +0000

If the DIY Wooden Postcard was a tad too boring for you (although really compared to traditional postcards, it definitely isn’t), then maybe the Postcard Aeroplane is more up your alley. After your recipient reads the message you’ve written down, he or she can poke various parts out of the pre-cut wooden board and build an airplane. [...]

DIY Wooden Postcard

Hazel Chua — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 22:35:53 +0000

Sometimes the old way of doing things is still the best way. Take postcards for example. I prefer physical postcards compared to e-cards any time. But if you’re up to it, then another twist to this conventional way of getting a short message across the world is through the DIY Wooden Postcard. I think its [...]

Pac Man Ukulele

Hazel Chua — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 06:43:29 +0000

I always thought of ukuleles as “mini guitars,” mainly because of how both look, since the sound and style of both instruments are quite different. I like how some songs have a really different feel when they’re covered using a ukulele. You can just buy one, or make one yourself with the Ukulele Kit. You [...]
