Book Reviews of Creepy Cute Crochet: Zombies, Ninjas, Robots, and More!

Book Review: Don't fear the sculpy!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was excited to make these cute/creepy little characters, but when I started reading the book was dismayed to see that a lot of the accents used "sculpy" or similar modeling clay...which I'd never done before. However, the author put in detailed directions/pictures for how to make the cool eyes, scythes for the Grim Reapers, spears for the Amazons, etc.

tip: decided which characters you might want to make, and model the "accents" first, so that you can make and bake them all together. For example: make a bunch different styles/sizes of eyes. This worked out very well, for as I completed each project, I already had an array of eyes/weapons to pick from for embellishment (which I just hot-glued on).

Made some great gifts and have received many compliments. Great book!
