Haunted Paper Toys

Here you'll find a variety of rather unusual paper toys, all free for you to print out and enjoy. The toys include a hearse playset, coffin gift boxes (with occupants), a little cemetery, a few dark gloomy haunted houses, several unusual board games, some horrifying monsters, and quite a few other dark delights. So pick out some toys, print out the pattern pages, and with a few common supplies like scissors and glue you're ready to create all these strange little curiosities. I hope you'll enjoy them all. I recommend printing these toys on HEAVY CARD STOCK.

For $10, Convert Your Smartphone into a Microscope with Photo and Video Capabilities

Take a look at the photos we took using it to see how well it works. Now you can do science at home with a $10 DIY smartphone microscope stand. Like pretty much everything else they touch, smartphones make microscopes better by making them less expensive, more portable, and granting you the ability to take photos and video of your subjects. It’s great to live in the future. If you’ve got the required tools handy, it should only take about 20 minutes to build the microscope stand. Also, if you’re into home science projects enough to want your own microscope, building the stand yourself is probably just an added bonus.

The film we used shrinks by about 50%, meaning that the designs as printed need to be about twice as big, in each dimension, as the desired miniature size.If you want to make your minis stand upright by adding bases, be sure to leave an empty “tab” at the bottom of each image so they can be attached without covering the art. Medium-size binder clips, for instance, have a footprint of about 1.25"×3/4" which, accounting for 50% shrink, will cover a 2.5"×1.5" “tab” at the bottom of each image. D.I.Y.

Photographer Uses Cheap Home-Made Camera Rig To Take Stunning Close-Ups of Snowflakes

Russian photographer Alexey Kljatov, however, is an inspiration to aspiring amateur photographers everywhere – he created a home-made rig capable of capturing stunning close-up pictures of snowflakes out of old camera parts, boards, screws and tape. His pictures give us an enchanting close-up view of snowflakes that we could never hope for without specialized equipment.

Their extraordinary diversity diversity stems from the many small changes in temperature and humidity that they experience while freezing on their way down to the ground.
