Well I've finally got around taking some pictures of the crafts I did in the past few weeks and I thought I would show them to you 
I have watched a lot of DMScotty's videos on Youtube and recreated a lot of stuff in my own way. The first thing I wanted to do and actually did was making a modular dungeon with the 2.5 next system. I really liked the idea of it. And here is the result:
I pretty much just recreated what DMScotty showed in his video. I just made the floor tiles a bit bigger, since we play with the grid. I made 8 of the mats in total. I'm eventually going to paint the backside of them in some kind of outdoor style. I just have to come up with something nice first.
These are my dungeon walls. I made them entirely out of styrofoam. First I cut them into the size I wanted and then I carved the stone design with a kitchen knife. To increase their stability I coated all of them entirely with white glue. After they were dry I just painted then with acrylic paint.
To make the dungeons a bit more interesting I also crafted a few accessories.
I made a bunch of the standing torches using DMScotty's Q-Tip Method. The braziers were made using some battery powered tealights from ikea. I think they came out pretty nice.
Every dungeon of course needs some doors. I made these in two different sizes inspired by this video on theDMG's Youtube channel.
Well and here are some other things I made to furnish my dungeons:
Some Pillars made out of a toiletpaper roll.
Some stone sarcophagi. I cut them out of styrofoam, coated them in modeling paste, glued some leftovers from a Warhammer minuature set on top of them and then just painted them.
Chairs and a Table with a mini for scale
A few barrels made after DMScotty's fashion.
Two versions of a chest. One time closed and one time open showing the treasure. These were made using the same cardboard method as for the barrels.
Beds
My first version of furry sleeping places using cardboard, hotglue and paint.
The second version of the furry sleeping places using some bits of fabric.
And last but not least some fireplaces.
To show you how everything looks together in action I built a dungeon and made a little photoshoot

Well that's everything I made so far. What do you think?
You probably recognize a lot of ideas but if you have any questions regarding how I made something, feel free to ask!
I hope this is the right place to post something like this. I will continue adding pictures once I have crafted more things
