Turkey Napkin Holder

I have been feeling quite festive lately, and so I made a napkin holder that looks like a turkey. =P I know the head/face is lacking a bit, but I couldn't figure out how to make it look quite right! This is one of my first builds to feature micro k'nex, actually, because I couldn't find any regular pieces to accent the face.

Knex Lazy Susan (or turntable)

Hello, cyberworld! If you've never been to my blog before, welcome! I try to take K'nex and make them into everyday, useful items. Sometimes, I just make things for fun, though, because let's face it... Knex are meant to be fun! Today, my build is more of a functional build: a lazy susan. Now, let me note that this is not for placing really small or skinny items on, as I did not cover the whole area with platforms. My main intent for this was that it be useful for cake decorating. However, it could be used for various other things. For instance, it can hold condiments or a pizza on the dinner table. You could also use it in your cupboard for storing spices (although, depending on the size of the spice bottles, you may want to lay down some cardstock or cardboard first). In that same vein, you could make a second tier and put larger bottles on the bottom and the short ones up top! Use your imagination!

If you would like more thorough details on how to build one of your own, just ask! Also, I am always grateful for more build ideas. If you'd like to be a guest builder on my blog, just let me know!

Knex Napkin Holders and Coasters

Greetings, readers! My builds today are small, but I thought they'd be rather fun. For those of you who don't personally know my hubby and me, our house has K'nex builds all over. It's become our own personal "style." Yes, yes, we're quirky and fun like that. =P I've got quite a list of things I'd like to make out of knex. Today, I present knex coasters and napkin holders.





My husband and I have three cats, so I thought these napkin holders would go just right in our house.

Of course, they could pass as foxes, too.


Stay tuned over the next couple weeks! I will be building an electric train to go around our Christmas tree. It's always so much fun. Come along for the ride! =D

K'nex Shadowbox for Small Gaming Characters

For a while now, my husband has been wanting a shadowbox or display case for his gaming action figures. I was going to buy him one for his ...
