London Design Festival 2011: "DrinKlip" at 100% Design

We spotted the "DrinKlip" at the opening of 100% Design and we can't quite decided whether its complete genius or totally superfluous. Resembling a giant paperclip, the product keeps your coffee at a safe distance from your laptop and papers, clipped to the side of your worktop. Is this the space saving device that messy creative types have been searching for, or is this just the physical manifestation of health and safety gone mad?

When looking for eco cookware to work into the look of your kitchen, staying away from aluminum and non-stick coated surfaces is just as important and finding the right color and style. Not only are these pots and pans safe and environmentally conscious, but they also serve as a bright statement piece in your kitchen decor.

You might be able to find a sweet deal for a flight online, but once you get to the airport and realize how much extra you're going to have to pay to check just a single bag, it stops being so sweet. The only solution is to pack as light as possible, hopefully squeezing all your clothes into a carry-on, or suck-it-up and wear something like the Rufus Roo.

In short, it's a light travel jacket with a collection of regular and super-sized pockets that lets you carry up to 22 lbs. worth of crap, including shoes, shirts, pants, books, and even laptops and wine bottles. You're going to look like a complete tool while making your way through an airport with it on, and it can't be the most comfortable thing to wear during your flight, but at least you're saving a few bucks right? Available now for ~$47 (£29.95) for large and medium adult sizes and ~$39 (£24.95) if you want to turn your kids into vacation pack mules too.

Origo – A 3D Printer Designed For Ten Year Olds… Also, Me

Origo 3D Printer (Image courtesy Origo)
By Andrew Liszewski

As a kid I loved construction toys like LEGO, K'nex, Ramagon, Construx, Lincoln Logs, Zaks and even Pipeworks. With a little imagination they could become whatever I wanted them to be. But once again, today's kids have it way easier. The Origo is billed as a 3D printer designed for ten years old. So it can literally create whatever they can imagine, out of plastic. The finished product might not look as polished as something they bought at the toy store, but it would have the unique advantage of being something they created. Like a 3D low-poly bunny wearing Optimus Prime's helmet, as seen in the product shot above. And I'm particularly keen on the fact that models can be designed in 3DTin, an easy to use 3D modeling app that runs in your browser.

Of course it still can't compete with toys like LEGO for the simple fact that they're real, and this is still just a concept that Joris Peels and Artur Tchoukanov really hope to make a reality some day. They've documented their progress on the Origo website, and while the most recent prototype certainly looks like something designed for kids, they've got a long way to go. There's no doubt that one day kid-friendly 3D printers will be as ubiquitous and easy to use as say, Easy Bake Ovens. But will the Origo be the first?

Guest blogger series | Pleated lace headband tutorial

 
 

Sent to you by nunok via Google Reader:

 
 

via whip up by contributor on 9/22/11

Vanessa of Punkin Patterns stays very busy taking care of her two young children and lots of creative projects. You might find her sewing, knitting, painting, designing or juggling all of her passions at once. Take a minute and go check out Punkin Patterns and read about her sewing and crafting adventures and don't forget to take a look at all of her great tutorials.

Hi Everyone! I'm Vanessa of Punkin Patterns and I'm very excited to be here today on whipup.net. Today I wanted to share with you a very simple project: a pleated lace headband. Super simple, but so elegant! It's a very easy project, perfect for a beginner or the seasoned pro. It's great for little girls or big ones too!

To make a pleated lace headband you'll need

  • lace
  • a headband
  • fray-check
  • glue (either hot glue or fabric glue)
  • you'll also need a sewing machine (or needle and thread)

  1. We'll start by pleating the beginning of the lace with your hand.
  2. Place the pleated section under your pressure foot and start sewing slowly down the center of the lace (alternatively you can sew down the pleats by hand). Continue pleating the lace as you go by lifting up a section of lace and fold it down so the fold goes under the pressure foot.
  3. Keep going until you have a length of pleated lace 2 inches longer than your headband. You can use fray check on the ends if you like.
  4. Using hot glue or fabric glue, place a line of glue along the center of the headband making sure you wrap a small bit around the bottom. Continue all the way around.
  5. You can add a bit of buttons or small ribbon flowers if you like.

And you're done!Similar Posts:
