DIY Facial Wrapping Paper. I love looking at pretty wrapping ideas but I am lazy, but I would do this. This has be so mislabeled all over the internet and because of it no one saw or posted these great facial features you can cut out and use on your own brown craft paper presents (look under the photo and click on “02” for these). *EDIT: you may have to resize there using photoshop, GIMP or whatever program you have. These are by Emma Hässel here:

Happy December 1st, my steampunk friends!

In celebration of this magical month, I’ll be posting tutorials, photos and more surrounding steampunked holiday traditions and craft. All I have is Christmas so feel free to submit any Hanukkah, Kwanza, Saturnalia, Winter Solstice, etc. as long as you cite the source!

Here is Central Florida Steampunk Association member Lisa’s advent calendar created from mint tins, photo collages, gears and other brassy bits! Close-up photos of the calendar can be found on her blog, as well as instructions for how to make the tins. 

The close up photos are really amazing of this Steampunk/Victorian Advent Calendar. Too late for this year, but this is my favorite Advent Calendar so far. Also check out the tutorial link which I like because it gives me more ideas of what to do with Altoid and mint tins (other than the paper, rocks and scissor post which I still adore).

I’m really starting to dig the polymer clay jewelry/art.

Ornaments by mynameisjade.

I saw these the other day posted by tampasteampunk (who has more great Steampunk ornaments on her blog) but didn’t reblog them right away and then I couldn’t find them again! Love these and what the artist has done mixing a gingerbread man with polymer clay with Steampunk. Her etsy store is here.

DIY Painted Tins in a Pretty Blue. Posting because this is an idea I can really use (how many giant ugly empty tins with teddy bears do I have from popcorn?), also because I want to remember this color: Krylon Catalina Mist. Tutorial and info at Cynthia Shaffer here.
