Crafts Inspired by Sherlock Holmes

Would Sir Arthur Conan be honored or dismayed at this clever upcycled book purse? Whatever. We're in love with it, and that's what counts here!

Sleuth in style with this upcycled Sherlockian capelet. This flirty number combines the black and white tweed of an old sport coat with electric blue satin, just what you need for taking down nefarious no-do-gooders.

What the mustache has done for ironic-izing girly crafts, so Sherlock's pipe promises to do for book pages and artwork. You know what they say about a man with a big pipe, don't you? (Go with it!)

This Sherlockian silhouette modernizes the Victorian cameo while also adding some Baker Street charm to any detective's decolletage.

Tweed is to Sherlock as bad taste is to reality TV, and this clever vest offers a modern (and classy) take on the Victorian waistcoat. Pair with a lace collar shirt for a sweet look, or nothing at all, for a little edge.

The jelly to Sherlock's peanut butter, Dr. John H. Watson is the reason the rest of us ever know what Holmes is going on about. A mustachioed felt coffee cozy offers a simple tribute to the master of disguise, or his mustache, at least. 

Protect that clever little head of yours with this DIY deerstalker, one of the most iconic of Sherlock's accoutrements.
