Cubeecraft

I thought I geeked out when I saw (and devoted much time to making) Mario Cubeecrafts, but now they're really trying to kill me with the cute — check out these new papercrafts of classic TV characters! Pictured here from left to right, we have Pamela Anderson in Baywatch, Earl Hickey from My Name is Earl, and Dr. Jack Shepard from one of my all-time fave TV shows, Lost.

If you've never done a cubeecraft before, just download the template, and get ready to cut out teeny details in the name of geek craft. It's totally worth it when you have your adorable desk accessory to show off to your non-crafty coworkers!

To show you how awesome Cubeecraft is, I knew I had to show rather than tell, so behold my glorious, hand-hewed creation! Cubeecraft provides you with templates that you download and print, then cut out and assemble to make cute, free desk accessories. I chose my fave, Mario, and cutting and putting him together took patience I haven't had since the third grade.

Cubeecrafts don't require glue or tape, although I desperately wanted to cheat and add both around hour two, but I persevered, and only a few obscenities were hurled at my Mario. But look! I did it! Don't let anyone tell you that geeksugar doesn't walk the walk.

Oh, and they recommend that you use craft paper, instead of standard printer paper — sadly, I print first and ask questions later, which is why my guy looks a little special. I still love you Mario!
