More Fun with Perler Beads - Rubix Cube Box

More fun with Perler Beads indeed! I've created a brand new item  this afternoon - this Rubix Cube Keepsake Box!

I modeled this box after the Mario Question Mark block ones that I've been creating for the past while. It measures approximately 3" across each side and it is 3-dimensional. It has a lid on the top that lifts off and the lid has two layers to allow it to fit snugly on top. The sides of the cube are all glued together with sturdy contact cement.

The Rubix Cube is "accurate" to the original - meaning that it is not only the correct colors, but the correct amount of each color :) This little keepsake box can be used to store just about anything, and would be a super cute addition to your desk or shelf!

Question Mark Keepsake Box...with a new twist!

Hi all!
I have been very busy lately coming up with brand new ideas for my shop, which I will be posting over the next few days! The first brand new original item that I have created is made from Perler Beads, and is a new take on my Question Mark Keepsake Box ... this time with a new twist!

And here it is! The Question Mark Keepsake Box with Interchangeable Powerups!

This keepsake box comes with interchangeable power-ups to attach to the top of the box! Each power-up can stick inside the top of the box lid - there is a Red Mushroom, a Green 1UP Mushroom, a Fire Flower, a Coin, and an Invincibility Star. You can display the box normally without the power-ups with the question mark to the front, or flip the box around to the side where it looks like Mario has already hit the block, and place a power-up in the top of the lid! This is a versatile keepsake box with six different looks in total!

As for the box itself, it is made to look like a Question Mark Block from the Super Mario games for the Nintendo. It has a lid on the top that has two layers - the second layer allows the lid to fit snugly on top of the box. You can keep anything inside this box (it would be great for your gold coins!) and it would look great on any desk, shelf, bedroom, office, you name it!

Welcome!

Hi everyone!

I have just started this crafting blog here at Blogger! I currently have blogs both at my personal site: http://blog.lostmitten.org and Vox: http://lostmitten.vox.com so I am looking forward to joining the community here at Blogger!

I will be crafting about my own handmade creations that I create for myself, my friends, and for my Etsy store - Lost Mitten! I also love to feature the work of talented artists from around the web.

As for the things that I create, I love to craft many things inspired by video games - I'm a huge fan of old school games for the NES and SNES, as well as newer stuff for the Wii and Nintendo DS. Some of these creations include original Perler Bead crafts, needlepoint items, Nintendo DS cases, and pinback buttons. Other things that I love to make are knit wearables, journals, button jewelry, Chiyogami buttons, and more!

I also love kawaii Japanese things and many things about Japanese culture! I have started to attempt to teach myself how to learn Japanese, so if there is anyone else out there who is attempting this, I'd love to meet you and talk about how you're doing with it!

I'm looking forward to meeting fellow crafters and artists through this site as well! Well, I'm going to make a pot of coffee and settle down to work on some needlepoint fridge magnets for the shop...hope that everyone enjoys their evening!
