There are many ways to be a geek: music, theater, books, science. In that sense there's a little geek in all of us. What better way to show it off than to collect a sash full of nerdy merit badges proclaiming your proficiency in your hobbies of choice? Available from Etsy user StoriedThreads (a former Renaissance Faire costume designer), each sew-on badge measures 3" across and costs either $7 or $8 and depicts an obsession of choice. Velco backing is available for a small fee, and custom orders are also available should you not find a badge to suit your interest. There's a little bit of something in there for everybody! My personal picks would be Cryptozoologist, Ghost Hunter, Old School Gamer, Level 20 Gamer D&D, Stage Manager, Bibliophile, and Norse Mythology.
