Lostmitten is a master of the art of perlerbeads. Her creations have graced the hallowed halls of Kotaku Tower many times and today, we have another one. This time she has made an 8-bit Legend of Zelda notepad featuring Link on the front and an Octoroc on the back. Unfortunately (for us, not for her) Lostmitten's one of a kind creations go quickly and this one is already sold. Using these detailed photos and a little elbow grease, you could probably make one yourself, but if you're lazy, visit Lostmitten's Etsy page for a lovely array of game crafts at a nice cheap price.

<![CDATA[Video Game Craft Goodness]]>

Alice over at Wonderland is the queen of finding video game related crafts and we love her for that. (Well, that and many other reasons) Now she's found some more great perler bead items including these great classic Zelda fridge magnets. On a closer look at the Etsy artist the magnets cam from, I also found the Mario Mushroom magnets and the Pokeball coasters. Also included on the page are a Goombah and a Toad fridge magnet. They are all available for a nominal fee and are hand made, one of a kind items. Add to that free shipping and you've got yourself a sweet piece of custom game art.

<![CDATA[Business Card Holder For Crafty Nerds]]>

Oh, perler beads, is there anything you can't do? You can make coasters, Mario boxes, Animal crossing characters and even decorate our local Ikeas. Now you can even help us keep all of our business cards organized with this fancy NES controller holder. One day I shall make a house of perler beads that will be known the world over. Of course, it will be rather flimsy and cold during the winter months, but it will look awesome.

<![CDATA[Crafty Mario Question Block]]>

You've seen the coasters, now see what happens if you glue six of them together in cube form! This perlerbead Mario Question Box was created by artist Lostmitten and can be yours for a mere $10.

I just love the look of this thing. It reminds me of church craft bazaars and my Grandma if my Grandma really loved Mario. But, Grandma was really more of a Doom kind of gal.
