In this episode you can learn to make a steampunk hat, and then hang it up ANYWHERE.

Mel’s Recommendation:

Website/ YouTube Channel: Lost Wax

* Yes, more crafting awesomeness. You know I can’t resist Steampunk! ~M

* Lost Wax is the name of Chris Huebert’s website and YouTube channel. He creates amazingly beautiful steampunk jewelry and also has a number of fun, affordable DIY Steampunk tutorials on Youtube.

* The tutorial videos are free to watch, but for the detailed plans (with full templates, etc) you give him a few bucks at his gumroad site. Each video has the link to its associated tutorial. They are very affordable at ~$5.00 and only use easily found materials.

* His newest video, the Steampunk Gas Mask, is one of my favorites! (See below) I don’t have mine finished yet, but I will post pics as soon as I do. STAY TUNED!

 

 

 

 Kelly’s Recommendation:

Gadget: GoLoopie

* GoLoopie is a neat little gadget that gives you a lightweight and portable hook anywhere that you need one.

* You know you never have a handy hook when you need one! And it’s only $4.99 at goloopie.com

* You just slip the Loop part around a cart handle, chair back, or anything really and you get a sturdy little hook to hang your purse, coat, shopping bags, etc from.

* If your having trouble picturing this contraption, look here, and marvel at it’s genius simplicity.

* It’s not available at Amazon…… Mel looked.
