Linda based her project on a pattern uploaded by a user named Servotron on the Sprite Stitch forums. She says the materials she used only amounted to about $80 (USD). I’m sure there are fans there who’d be willing to pay a lot more than that for the finished product, specially when they find out that it took Linda nearly 8 months to finish it. Here’s Linda with her work:

Big Bang Theory Tissue Box Cover

Believe it or not, this is actually the 2nd Big Bang Theory tissue box cover we’ve featured. But unlike the previous Rubik’s Cube tissue box cover that’s only featured on the set of the show, this one actually depicts those lovable geeks from the show. Bazinga! Bless you, here’s a tissue.

The cover is handmade using plastic canvas. The crafter used a cartoon-like image from the Internet, pixelized it with image editing software, then used that as a pattern to cross-stitch the box. Easy enough (I guess?) Who doesn’t love themselves a cross-stitched Sheldon Cooper? So dreamy. (via craftster)
