Arts And Crafts: Retrogamer-Style

February 12, 2015 By Ms. ausretrogamer

I know it’s tempting to spend all your spare time gaming – but it’s important to cultivate your creativity and your problem-solving skills, and what better way than with some arts and crafts (just remember how exciting it was when it was time for art class back in school!).

There’s no need to abandon your love of retrogaming though – here are some awesome ideas for retrogaming (and generally geeky) themed art projects. Quick, run and get your hot glue gun, scissors and paint brush – it’s time to get inspired and creative!
