Geek Crafts

I got bored yesterday so I made this belt out of soda pop tabs.



Then I got bored again and counted how many tabs I used. It took ~100 and came out a little big. I used only pop tabs, string, 2 paper clips, a little bit of nail polish to secure the knots, and three hours of time. Some of this time was spent on washing pop tabs though. Some of those had been in there since I 1st started collecting them back in 6th grade. It makes me feel bad about how many soda's I drink, which really is only one or two a week, but still. I think this will go great with my other geek projects.

The duct tape shoes (using only duct tape, one plastic bag, and a small sheet of cardboard, and shoelaces I guess) with matching duct tape wallet:



Jamie Madrox jacket:



And... Leela's wristlojackinator?



That hole is where I put my watch so that when I look at the time it's like I'm really using it. And I know it's supposed to be on the other arm. Just look at the picture with a mirror if it bothers you.

On a side note, a few people have asked me about my jacket. No, it's not supposed to be shoe laces. It's the trademark uniform of X-Factor's fan favorite Jamie 'The Multiple Man' Madrox. It is awesome because Madrox is awesome. Here's a picture of him.



Hmm. That's a Madrox, but not the right one. Let's try this again.



Oooh. That's not the right one at all. At all at all.



Ah. Madrox looking bad-ass with the mutant M over his eye.



But this is the kind of Madrox I fell in love with.
