Modded Out Credentials from Maker Faire Detroit At Maker Faire Detroit, each maker was given a credential to spot. They had a spot for your name, and served to let everyone know you were part of the event.

How-To: Geek Helmet By Jessica WilsonI was a big fan of Pee-Wee's Playhouse back in the 80s. I was pretty sad he rode a scooter at the end of the show instead of his bike but I did adore his helmet.

The mister insisted I wear a helmet and I told him I would if he fancied it up a bit. My bike helmet has wings but anyone can geek out their helmet with a little paint, glue and an odd assortment of Pee-Wee inspired toys.This is a fun project for all bike helmets, new and old though if your old helmet is truly a mess with cracks from beyond, you best invest in a new dealio to keep your noggin safe.

So, if you choose to get wacky with it all, make sure your helmet is new and free of cracks!Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Geek Crafts | Digg this! blog.craftzine.com |
