In a world full of things that honestly just suck, it’s nice to look at the cool, inventive things people make every once in a while. Human creativity seriously knows no bounds, and it shows a lot of the time.
Some of these things are actually useful, while others are simply cool. But the one thing they all have in common is how dang creative they are.
“I made a Christmas tree topper of the Orion spacecraft orbiting the moon.”
Who needs to put a star on the top of your Christmas tree when you could have the moon instead? Seriously, though, this is beyond cool!
“This Howl’s Moving Castle papercraft I made.”
It’s actually so hard to believe that such an intricate and true to form object was made out of… paper? Like, are you kidding me? OP should be really proud of this thing.
“Some mini wool dogs I made with their look alikes.”
I think that it’s a crime that not every dog in the world has a little replica made out of wool. This person is doing important work, let me tell you.
“Little pendant that I’ve made using real flowers.”
You really need a lot of patience and a steady hand in order to make something as small as this. I’m both impressed and stressed out (I’m trying to imagine making one).
“Mechanical themed trophy I made for a fishing tournament our company put on.”
I wouldn’t even know where to begin when making something like this! All I know is that, with a prize this cool, it would make me actually want to compete in a fishing tournament.
“An origami crane I made with a cool mint stip.”
I literally have no idea how you can do that without snapping the whole strip. I’m once again very impressed, and equally as stressed out about this little creation.
“Table I made out of old skateboards in my client’s house.”
And people say that skateboards can’t be art. To be honest, you can pretty much repurpose anything to be a cool art piece, or an actual functional piece of furniture.
“My 70 year old grandpa made a barbecue pit out of an old gambling machine.”
See, that’s straight up awesome. It goes to show that not only does creativity know no bounds, but it doesn’t have an age limit, either.
“I made the DreamWorks guy using leftover pancake I didn’t eat.”
This definitely isn’t what people mean when they say pancake art, but that doesn’t make it any less amazing.
And I’m not gonna lie, it’s just making me want to watch Shrek again.
“Here are shrooms mirrors I made.”
This looks wickedly cool, especially up against all those plants. I have no idea how you’d even make mushroom-shaped mirrors, but I’m glad at least one person out there has cracked the code.
“I got bored at work so I made a tiny paper bow and box.”
Sometimes, you get so bored at work that your hands need to do something. And sometimes, that something your hands decide to do is make a box. Which is pretty cute, if you ask me.
“This plaster mask I made with some of my teeth my father’s and siblings’ baby teeth.”
The inclusion of real human teeth makes this thing downright terrifying. But I guess it’s not as terrifying when you realize it’s just baby teeth.
“I made a gingerbread version of my family’s house.”
The actual house is actually really cute, so the gingerbread version is extra cute! It would almost be a shame to eat it. The gingerbread version, not the actual house.
“Guy on a donut eating a donut that I made at work.”
At some point, somebody’s gonna eat that donut. Which will mean a person’s eating a donut that has a person eating a donut on it. Uh… donut-ception?
“I made tiny pizzas the size of pepperonis.”
Okay, not only is that tiny pizza so cute, but it’s also… kind of a really cool thing that should actually be in stores. Like, I’d buy a box of really tiny, frozen pizzas.
“A Tungsten and Tooth ring I made from one of my Wisdom Teeth.”
I mean, it’s not like you need them for anything else. And this way, you’d have a kind of cool (albeit really weird) keepsake from that time you had to get wisdom teeth pulled.
“I made a pueblo out of clay for my Roborovski hamster.”

On one hand, I’m pretty sure that hamster doesn’t care what its shelters are made out of. On the other hand, us people do, which makes this a win.
“This suit of Budweiser armor my buddy made. He got 50k from Bud in a ‘king of beers’ contest. The chainmail took years to make.”
Somebody went through a lot of beer to make that. And you know what? It really paid off (as long as they drank responsibly).
“Why pay a whole $20 on a new mailbox when you can just repurpose a toaster oven instead?”
Sure, it’s pretty kitschy. But at the same time, I’m definitely behind reusing old appliances in creative ways. Better than sending another thing to the landfill.
“This hotel has a Lego model of itself.”
I think every building needs a Lego version of itself. Big city banks. Random hotels. Our own homes. Let’s just make whole Lego towns, countries, continents. You think I’m joking, but I’m not.
