Take the Warp Pipe Desk Organizer, for example. It was perfectly functional. It served its geeky purpose, and we could have easily left it at that.
Instead, we did this.
Chris used perler beads to make the extra decorations, then attached them to the PVC pipes with hot glue. It was really simple and, more importantly, really relaxing. So relaxing, in fact, that we went on a perler binge. We bought an iron at a garage sale, stocked up on every color imaginable, and invited our friends over for a week of arts and crafts nights. It felt like summer camp, and it was awesome.
We all made pretty basic stuff, except for Chris. Chris is a perler prodigy and jumped into 3D designs while the rest of us tried not to mix up the shades of blue we were using.
He used a mix of reference pictures and trial and error to make a tissue box cover.

| He even added glow-in-the-dark beads for easy access. |
He also made another pencil holder, so now we should be really organized.
For my part, I made Navi. She serves no purpose, but she looks nice next to our Wii U controller.

| Tah-dah! |
Now that you're no longer in suspense about our organization habits, I recommend that you pick up some perler beads and start your own 8-bit zen garden. If you can get past the the smell of melting plastic, I guarantee you will find your bliss.
Until then, stay clever!
