My cheap 3rd & 4th Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver Xmas ornaments!!

Hey I know I don't post much anymore.....but I just wanted to share my $8 worth of sharpies and dry-erase markers turned Sonic.

I'm doing a Doctor Who tree this year. Already spent nearly $400 on ornaments (Yeah, that got away from me), Tardis lights, and other assorted nonsense. I've been a fan since the new series started in 2005, and after trying to get my wife to watch it- and getting the "I'm not interested"- she's more obsessed than ME!:lol Her car is covered in decals, the Tardis cookie jar in the kitchen is hers, the Police Call Box sign over the doorway, even her "Hello Sweetie" ringtone.:lol So this year, I decided I'm going to surprise her with a Doctor Who tree

Below is a more-or-less tutorial. Ignore the blue hi-liter....AND the yellow ones. I opted not to use those. The 2nd and 3rd pics show what was actually used for one Sonic. And some of the parts fit inside others for added strength. I used epoxy to glue everything.

These are the ornaments so far. Not shown, are the misc Daleks, a bow tie, a couple keychains, the 10th and 11th Doctors sonics, Tardis key, Yale key, and "Van Gogh" exploding Tardis throw rug for under the tree.

But I wanted the earlier Sonics, too. Just couldn't find an ornament-sized version of them.

That is BRILLIANT!

Thank you I did touch up the red and yellow on Doctor #3's Sonic. But I was in such a hurry to take pics....

I'll add some more black to both of them, and spiral pinstriping tape on the yellow section. But for now, it's break time. They probably took a total of 3-4 hours to make. Maybe less, but I forgot to count.lol

Fantastic! Very inventive. I too recently got my wife into watching Dr. Who and she's hooked now too! Are those the Daleks from Think Geek? Was thinking of getting a couple for my tree too.

Oh and hi neighboor, East Haven resident here lol.

Thanks. Yes, those are the Daleks (and almost everything else) from Think Geek. Well worth the money, and got here in like two days.

Hello neighbor!:lol


I finished detailing and somewhat weathering my two Sonics. Not bad. And the two other Sonic flashlights got here! I didn't realize the sizes would be so close.:lol Almost to scale!

.......And a Tardis key I machined at work. Because I had to. Because I'm a nerd. Not accurate, but good enough for my Christmas trees and my keychain.

Thank you for this tutorial, I had to try this out myself and am really happy with the result.
